How did you come to the cultivation of Cordyceps? The benefits we see from this are very effective, on an average 80% of the people have BP problem. Someone has diabetes, someone has high cholesterol. Someone has asthma problem. Someone has pain, you have spine problem. He takes medicine only after controlling all the things. It is sold from ₹25,000 per kg to ₹1 lakh per kg. In Majwa Tarash village of Mirzapur district, a person has started cultivating Cordyceps, i.e., wormwood mushroom. And you can see how well they are cultivating it here. From the line you see the jars attached. Let's prepare it here in these jars. They make the culture themselves and then prepare the caterpillar fungus and after this, when the crop is ready, they make powder from it and make capsules from it and sell it far and wide. So let us introduce you to Tripurari Singh Patel ji who is present with us at this time. Who has started this Cordscapes work here. Tripurari ji, you are very welcome to join us today, this place is famous because of the village Jang Chunar. Now it is happening due to Kida Jadi also. Yes, many people come here to take training also. Training is given here. How long have you been working with this Cordyceps wormwood here ? I started in January and this January is about to come for almost two years. What did you do before this? Before this I was working in pesticides. While doing that work, how did you come towards Cordyceps farming, Cordyceps farming ? It's like the lab we settled. In this we were growing organic things like Trichodesmium, Vivesiana etc. After that, Dr. Sudarshan Maurya Sir in IBR said that you should try it once. But when we analyzed it, the benefits we saw were very clear. We had a problem. I have back pain L5 and L4 both are slightly cracked. Once while lifting the plant it cracked and we continued treating it for two years. We treated you in Lucknow. We took medicine in Delhi. So, wherever we took the medicine, we were not able to understand its results. So then when we did its farming and when it was ready, the first trial we did on ourselves and today we are standing in front of you. Before this you will ask all the people in our village. We used to walk wearing three belts and all three belts were ineffective and see today, we use only this one and there is no back pain at all. If you lift 50 kg of luggage, it will not make any difference. How does this entire farming happen, it is a time , a process, you will tell me each and every thing. First of all it is necessary to get its massilium to run. So we will take its culture from anywhere. So wherever we get the culture from, we will ensure that the culture is good because see, the seed is everything. First we make it into liquid span. After preparing the liquid spawn, it is then autoclaved and then cultured in a plate or pet dish. Spread it out and keep it for a few days. It cools down. Then run the spore on it. Then slowly its mycelium spreads. The first process is done. Second process then we make liquid span. After making the liquid spawn, the mycelium spread in it is then put into the liquid spawn and then put into the shaker in the machine. This is the shaker. Look, this thing which has been inserted, it is spread out, or lady, look at this, look, this entire G Masillion is spread out in it and after inserting it, we run it. Look, this whole thing keeps moving, it keeps rotating continuously. It takes 15 days, it gets ready in 15 days. After that what do we do in the next step ? We prepare for whatever is spreading in the jar. So for this we first put brown rice in the jar. Look at this brown rice, it is cooked, right? The media is ready for it. Then after this, after doing this culture, see, it has been kept below. Then after this, take it out from here and when it spreads a little, then see the next step, we will bring it here. Let's keep it in the dark even now. Now see, slowly it has spread completely. This snake charmer, yes, look at this whole thing, it has spread completely slowly. But we keep its time duration for one month inside it, then after one month, we can take it out and you can see it now, after one month, then when 30 days are completed from here, it is again kept here. Now it stays here for 45 days. That means, in total it gets ready in 3 to 4 months. What temperature does it require at what time? So here it is maintained at 22 to 24 degrees and it continues to run at the same temperature for 24 hours. This has to be maintained 24 hours a day. How much role does this light play? Because it is told that light is very important, see what happens with this light, first of all its entire process takes place in darkness, after that when it comes out of darkness into light, then this lux meter requires light from 1000 to 1100, 1200 lux meter, if there is less light than this then this strip will not grow, it will remain small, it will not grow, any farmer brother who plants it, then pay special attention, buy a lux meter first and get it tested, first tell me how big is the room where you are doing this work, this is a 20/4 room. How much caterpillar fungus can you find in such a big room ? This proper comes out to be between 2 to 3 kg in one lot. And how many lots can you take out from here in a year ? If you do it a little faster, you can do four. Otherwise three will come easily. That means if we go up to four crops, 12 kg of codices will come out from a room of 280 square feet. Yes. And if we talk about its price, what is it? Look, some of these which are sold at the lowest price here, are sold from ₹25,000 per kg to ₹3 lakh per kg. So the 3 kg, 2.5 to 3 kg that comes out of this, all of that goes to about ₹ 2.5 to ₹ lakh per kg. Apart from that, we are telling you the price of this Cody shape of yours, the strip that comes out from the top. Apart from that, we also grind the raw material present in it and make it. For example, animals face problems in coming into heat and suppose if someone 's animal is coming into heat on time but it does not last. So we provide its powder for that also. This cow survives for a maximum of one to two months. So this comes out to be about 15 kg. So it is sold for ₹15 to ₹00 per kg. That is, if you are saying 15 to 30, even if you take ₹2000 worth of goods and 15 kg then it will be ₹3 lakh, so with this, yes, it is very easy, what happens with this, the electricity expenses, this maintains the expenses of the staff that has been hired, and the rest that you mentioned, which is sold at approximately ₹3 lakh, and you said that Cordyceps worth approximately ₹12 lakh ₹36 lakh in a year, after that, what comes out is the savings of all the expenses, in a way, it is very easy, this Cordyceps is so expensive, then where is its sale, you are sitting in a village, absolutely, yes, in such an interior, many times people say that there is talk of employment in the village, questions also arise, many times you are doing such employment in the village, see so much income in such a small place, the reason for this is that we are already doing pesticide business and we also keep doing some small services for the people and wherever we are needed, we are called to any institute or any college When we are called there for training, then all those sources get created, on an average, this is 100% telling you in 80% of the people. Someone has problem with beeper BP. There is sugar. Someone has high cholesterol. Someone has cancer. Someone has asthma problem. Someone thinks this is your pen. You have a spine problem. So he takes medicine only after controlling all these things. This increases our customers. For example, if we have sold this material to any 1000 customers, then 80% of them are our repeat customers. So tell me that when it is ready, in what form do you process it and bring it, how do you sell it. When it is ready , after it is ready it dries in a natural way and we also have a dryer installed. When it dries properly, we grind it in a mixer. After making the powder form, it is filled in capsules. It is filled in capsules and sold in capsules. Some people directly make it into powder form and sell it in powder form. So your consumption is happening comfortably in these three districts i.e. nearby Mipur, Varanasi, Sonbhadra, Banaras. We had sent some to a client in Gujarat who had come for business. The mood was getting set so they demanded that you give it to us so that we can market it online and we have our own website and we have already started selling on it. What challenges did you face initially? There was a challenge in the beginning. There was a lot of problem of contamination in this. Maintaining contamination. After that, Spohn was sometimes unable to run. Then there was the problem of electricity. There is a problem in this, if the electricity in your lab is completely off for say four to five hours, then everything gets damaged. So for that, we installed a big setup of 15 kilowatt solar panel. Then a generator of 30 kilowatts was brought and installed. So all these setups are running now. There is no electricity issue. Even if the power goes out, there is no problem. Tripurari ji, many people who are listening to you might have thought of getting more information about this. You talked about training for this, you also provide that here. You might have thought of learning from you and doing it yourself, please give them your number also. 700 7115016 Please tell me how much does this setup cost approximately if we talk about the initial cost ? See, 12 to 13 lakhs have come into this for those who came to me and what suggestion would you give to anyone, if someone wants to start then they should start with at least this much or on a smaller scale than this, how to do it, we would like that if any farmer wants to do it in the beginning then he can do it by investing only Rs. 3 to 34 lakhs, do that much and first try it at his place, he should learn in the proper way, they do not understand, if they have taken training from somewhere, if they are not able to grow then they can take information from us. Thank you very much Tripura ji for giving this important information. So today you saw how Cossops farming is being done here, Cordyceps is being prepared here and after that its powder and capsules are being prepared from it and sent to different places and today all of you saw how wonderfully this work is being done in this room of just 280 square feet in the village.
