Mukesh Panubhai Patel, 60, of Luswara-Saribujrang village near Ganadevi, Navsari, has given up organic farming. Despite achieving good production, he has given up organic farming due to pig persecution. Cultivation of earthworms and other organisms in his farm became organic. So pigs started coming to their fields and crops were heavily damaged. So they have now resumed farming with chemical fertilizers.

Because pigs are doing a lot of damage by coming to the farm. Also, they used manure, so pigs started coming in more and more. She tied it.
