Report on Entrepreneurial Activity



I am always passionate about organic agriculture. That’s why I have marketed 'N.P.BIOCOMPLEX' organic manure as a entrepreneur activity in Devinagar and Kalyanagar. It is manufactured by Madras fertilizers private LTD. It has prepared by 75% vermi compost and remaining 25% azospirillum and phospobacteria and 16 bio composts.

 I started to sell from 8am to 11:30 pm. I visited door to door who are having garden and I tried to convince about my brand organic manure. within a short time I came to know it is very difficult business. Because people are not ready to listen my words. They have looked at me like a cheater. I visited 56 houses. But I convinced to only 4 house owners to purchase the manure. One person booked 1 quintal manure. He has farm near Hubli.
