Blueberries are globally recognized as a superfood, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and dietary fiber, making them highly sought after for their health benefits. In the post-COVID era, there has been a significant surge in demand for nutritious and immunity-boosting fruits in India. Despite this growing interest, India still depends heavily on imported blueberries, creating a substantial gap in the domestic market. With high market prices and strong profit margins, blueberry cultivation presents a promising and untapped opportunity for Indian farmers and agripreneurs.
Blueberry farming in India is gaining momentum, even though the fruit is originally grown in North America and the cooler parts of Europe. Blueberries thrive in well-drained, slightly acidic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5, and require a specific number of chill hours depending on the variety. With the help of advanced cultivation techniques and adaptable varieties, blueberry cultivation in India has become successful in states like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, parts of the North-East, and the higher altitudes of South India. Today, blueberry growing in India is most prominent in the top 5 states – Maharashtra, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Uttarakhand – which have emerged as leading producers due to their favorable climates and growing farmer interest.
This is where Sheel Biotech Ltd. plays a big role in India’s blueberry journey. As a leader in modern farming, plant science, and eco-friendly farming solutions, Sheel Biotech has helped bring blueberry farming to many parts of India.
