Chandrasur

Dear Mr Gupta

We have grown Chandrasur In Tikamgarh district of Madhya Pradesh. though it gave a

relatively good yield but as per its medicinal value we are not getting good rates. Can you
suggest where we can get minimum rates so that we can make it an economically viable
crop.
Any suggestions regarding this is invited
regards
Adil
