How Agrifirst Helps You Succeed
Agrifirst's nethouse structures provide lemongrass with optimal growing conditions — warm temperatures, good light, and protection from excessive rain that leaches essential oils from leaves. Our efficient drip irrigation maximizes leaf production while Agrifirst's market connections help farmers sell to tea companies, essential oil distillers, and Asian food restaurants at premium prices.
Expected earnings: ₹4–10 lakhs per acre annually with Agrifirst nethouse lemongrass cultivation.
