This farmer-turned-entrepreneur, Shivaji Kurhe, who hails from Washim district in the Vidarbha region, has added a unique service, in which he grinds the turmeric cultivated in his farm before people as per their order, providing a win-win situation to both.

Talking to PTI, Kurhe said, “I grow turmeric in my farm and take the ready crop to the doorstep of people. As per the order, I grind the turmeric before the customers with the help of a grinding machine fitted on my vehicle. On an average, I sell around 50 kilos of turmeric powder each day.”
