Mahabaleshwar Gets Year-Round Strawberry Production
Modern substrate farming breaks India's traditional harvest season
Berry Fresh Agrotech has established a modern, substrate-based protected cultivation facility in Mahabaleshwar, aiming to produce premium strawberries year-round using precision soilless farming.
Mahabaleshwar accounts for about 85 percent of India's total strawberry production, but traditionally harvests only from November to March. The new facility promises residue-free fruit through controlled environment agriculture, while the company tests international strawberry genetics to expand variety options.
