    Brands like Forest Essentials, that have a top selling Vetiver body spray, should partner with such agripreneurs

    I have advised the farmers and enterpreneus in Cuddalore area regarding scientific vetiver cultivation and in sync with market demand and to maintain quality. Unfortunately, these were not followed and farmers face problems. I advised the local administration regarding Carbon sequestration and phytoremediation.

    I believe marketing support much needed to create a eco friendly concept in demand...children's and younger should be aware of the environment friendly as its going to ensure safer future for them.

    Vetiver oil is one of the most in demand oils in the perfume industry...proper scientific way of extracting oil is required. Maybe the middle men slashed the prices to make more money...

    Small farmers get trapped in poverty with changing way of farming, global warming and expensive way of modern farming. The cost of fertilizer, equipment all add to farmer's financial worries.
