<\/a><\/p>\nReasons: India is the major exporter of Sesbania Gum Powder<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
Suitable Climate<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- India has a suitable climate which promotes the growth of Sesbania bispinosa.<\/li>\n
- Climatic conditions required to grow this plant are:<\/li>\n
- It requires hot and humid temperature.<\/li>\n
- It requires plenty of water.<\/li>\n
- It can grow in most of the soil types including saline.<\/li>\n
- Due to such favorable climatic conditions, it becomes easier for supplier to get Sesbania seed<\/a><\/span> out of which powder is produced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Modernization in farming by skilled farmers<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- With the awareness about the use of sesbania gum powder, the farmers started growing its plant as a major crop to yield better incomes.<\/li>\n
- When many farmers started its cultivation, the innovation in farming took place. It is truly said by Debbie Stabenow on modernization in farming: \u201cAgriculture looks different today – our farmers are using GPS and you can monitor your irrigation systems over the Internet.\u201d<\/li>\n
- The farmers are skillful and adapt new technologies in farming to increase the production.<\/li>\n
- The farmers have adopted Precision Farming which is based on Information Technology.\u00a0 It reduces the some of the risk. Thus, it is environmentally sound and it can help to sustain natural resources.<\/li>\n
- GPS (Global Positioning System) and Geographical Information System (GIS) are the technologies used in Precision Farming.<\/li>\n
- It becomes easy for an exporterto exportsesbania gum powder due to its constant availability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Availability of Infrastructure<\/strong>:
