Farming in Surat
Paddy is grown around Surat, and the straw left after harvest is often burnt because there is no easy way to move it. Vurimi collects paddy straw and pays the farmer per kg. Other residue from the area, such as cane trash and banana pseudostems, can be requested and we confirm case by case.
Areas we can take requests from: Surat, Bardoli and Navsari.
When to book: Kharif crops are usually harvested from October. Rabi wheat and gram are usually harvested from March to April. These are usual windows, not fixed dates, and they change with the variety and the weather. Check your own sowing date and book early.
