would not platt hybrids this year
In April 2005, ve started to look for a good variety of traditional rice. It was one of our
neighbours in the village, a businessman from Mumbai who amed land, who suggested that we
plant a local scented vaiety of rice. Most of the farmers in and around the village of Peth had

traditional variety also did not yield any results and we were almost giving up hope.
