Portugal’s Growing Global Presence: A Reader's PerspectivePanchabati Baske, 50, does not mind snakes in paddy fields. “These are non-poisonous and there are many of them around,” she dismisses them, as she walks through her fields, as a snake slithers through. “See this crop of Kerala Sundari? Some of it has fallen in the recent cyclone Dana but look at the yield,” Baske says. “Will someone believe that no [lab-made] fertilisers have been used while cultivating this?” She is standing amid a dense lush yellow crop of paddy, in Damodarpur village, Nayagram block of West Bengal’s Jhargram district located almost 200 kilometres from Kolkata. Baske is convinced that organic varieties yield more grains of paddy per stalk. “I have counted. Kerala Sundari has about 350 to 400 grains in every stalk, whereas Swana, (a regular variety of rice cultivated using fertilisers) has about 250 grains,” she says. For the past several years, Baske has been cultivating indigenous varieties of rice without using any store-bought pesticides. She is a cultivator associated with Aamon, a farmer producer company, which was registered in October 2020. Aamon in Bengali, is a reference to the June-July period of rice sowing. Aamon is an all-woman initiative that has about 8,000 farmers across 106 villages in Nayagram block. The company, formed in October 2020, started with 350 women. In the financial year 2023-24, they produced about 800 tonnes of six indigenous varieties of paddy that got them a turnover of about ₹2.2 crore. Each woman is a shareholder in the company that retails under the brand name Ecomust locally and under Aamon online. Baske and other women associated with Aamon feel their aspirations have taken wing. The farmer producer company has not only given economic freedom to the women farmers associated with it, but has also added to their confidence and social standing. Coming out of home A few hundred metres away from the field, Baske has cultivated black rice. “This crop is taller than you. Those who have not seen black rice ask how this crop looks. It is not black; it is just like any other variety of paddy,” she says. Not far from the paddy fields is Baske’s thatched home. Here, she has set up an elaborate vermicompost arrangement which she uses in the organic farming processes, to improve soil health and crop yields. “I had bought 500 earthworms for ₹1 a piece to start,” she says. Under the Central government’s Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY), farmers get assistance to construct pits to produce organic manure through vermicomposting. “ This traditional method of cultivation is what we followed for generations. It is only in the past few decades that we have been using chemicals which are entering the food chain,” she says. The idea of Aamon came through self-help groups (SHG) of women who were promoting organic farming in the region. Once a hotbed of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) that led to the area being violence-ridden, coming out of home for community work was a challenge. In the financial year of 2023-24, the women farmers of Aamon produced about 800 tonnes of six indigenous varieties of paddy that got them a turnover of about ₹3 crore. | Photo Credit: Aamon “ I was the first to come out of my village and be associated with Jaiba Dal (an SHG promoting organic crops) and later Aamon,” Baske says. She speaks about how difficult it was for women to go out. “Often people would ask my family members, including my husband, why I was out for such long hours, what kind of work I did, and why I was out so late. This would result in fights at home,” she says. Building connections About 50 km from Baske’s house is Kharikamathani, a town in the heart of Nayagram block. On a Sunday afternoon, she and about 10 other women arrive at the office of PRADAN (Professional Assistance for Development Action), a non-government organisation that helps organise collectives. The office of the NGO is located above a motor garage and has meeting rooms. On one of the walls there are photographs of women farmers, honoured for best practices by the NGO. One such photograph is of Swarnaphabha Mahato, a farmer in her 20s, planting paddy seedlings in a muddy field. “This is me a few years ago,” Mahato says, smiling at the photograph. She says cultivating indigenous varieties of rice is not enough. Along with other women in cultivation, she has been attending several village fairs and festivals familiarising people with indigenous varieties of rice. “We used to cook rice and make payesh (rice pudding) and urge people to taste it just to promote these varieties,” says Mahato. Though most of the organic rice they cultivate is exported and sold in cities, the women feel it is important to find a local market for their produce. Aamon has women farmers from about 100 villages of Nayagram block located in remote south-western West Bengal. | Photo Credit: Aamon All the farmers at the PRADAN office dress in similar-looking sarees: green with red borders. The women usually wear these at governing body and executive body meetings. They sit in a circle on the floor of one of the rooms where they hold the meeting to take stock of the yearly and seasonal production of paddy. Some farmers have a dual role of purchase officers, and keep a record of how much paddy is produced. Prabhati Das, 47, one of the women at the meeting, says that the challenge has not been so much about farming, but about convincing the men that women could cultivate on their own using the seeds and the method they wanted. “They (the men) used to crack jokes and discourage us. ‘What do the women know; they will not be able to do anything.’ We were repeatedly told this,” Das says. Das talks about how her husband gave her only three cottahs of land (about 720 square feet). “It was in 2016 when I first cultivated on this land. My husband told me that if it did not work, I would have to go back to my parents’ house,” she says. It worked. In the last financial year 2023-2024, her village, Nagripada, cultivated organic paddy on 77 acres of land. “There are 118 women farmers here who are growing organic paddy,” she says. Freedom from control Rekha Sinh, 42, a farmer who has been instrumental in getting 102 women farmers at her village Biriberia to join Aamon , says organic farming has been about breaking barriers. “Our husbands did not believe that we could achieve something. When we rode bicycles to hold meetings in and around villages, neighbours would pass comments,” she says. Now, many women hold driving licenses for cars. Sinh tells a story which the farmers often repeat to convince other women to join them and take up organic farming. In a village, a person has three sons: one sells seeds, another lab-made fertilisers and pesticides, the third is a doctor. The people go to the same family for everything, because after eating the harmful chemicals they visit a doctor. The women explain that by cultivating organic varieties they have been able to come out of the clutches of traders who sell both seeds and fertilisers. “Once you start buying from these local traders, often the same shops give you seeds on credit and then fertilisers on credit, but when the crops are harvested the farmers have to sell it to the trader,” Sinh says. For farmers of Aamon, 80% of their produce is bought by the company. There are various varieties of paddy which the women cultivate, such as Kerala Sundari, Shatia, Mallifullo, black and brown rice. They preserve seeds of these indigenous varieties from their annual harvest and use them every year, controlling seed quality. “ If a farmer has to spend ₹7,000 to cultivate one bigha of commercial paddy, we can do it for only ₹700, because we do not have to buy anything,” Das says. This, despite the fact that the soil is not free of the fertilizers and pesticides used for many years before, and the neighbouring fields may be using these that then seep into their produce, besides contaminating the ground water. Breaking boundaries The movement around organic farming has given the women more than economic freedom. “ We have been able to break the barriers of patriarchy and are recognised and respected for our work. It is not that we are doing something new, but our labour was never appreciated until we started our own enterprise,” Sinh says. Studies have shown that the female participation of women in agriculture in West Bengal is higher than men. In West Bengal, 57.12% of women are involved in agriculture, compared to 50.02% of men, says an essay in the INSEE Journal of the Indian Society for Ecological Economics. One of the reasons is men’s migration to other States. Women farmers in Nayagram cultivate several varieties of paddy and preserve their seeds from their annual harvest, thereby controlling seed quality. | Photo Credit: Aamon However, despite a high female workforce in agriculture, women do not own much land in West Bengal. Among the dozen women at the PRADAN office, none of them have ownership of the land they cultivate. That is usually in the name of fathers, husbands, and sons. Despite that, the women of Aamon speak eagerly about the joy of riding a bicycle, participating in rural fairs, and travelling to Kolkata and Delhi to speak about their successes. Some like Krishna Bhunia, from Chandrasekharpur village, are happy they could get their daughters married after they turned adult, and not as children, for want of resources. They also operate a rice mill at Murakati village in Nayagram block, with a large nameplate and the words, Aamon Mahila Samiti in bold Bengali letters. Sacks of rice husk are stacked outside the mill. Inside, there is some husked black rice, which Baske eagerly picks up to show. The farmers sing a song while opening the rice mill or attending the general body meetings of Aamon. The lyrics go: “ Keetnasake desh bhasalo; Ebar jaiba saare kore chaasi dhan go; Akaler bachao poran (The country is laced with pesticides; O farmer, now cultivate paddy using organic fertiliser; Let us save lives).” A home of her own Sourangshu Banerjee, the team coordinator of PRADAN, says there are many farmer producer companies, but Aamon is unique because it is run by women and it promotes organic farming. PRADAN, which is aimed at eliminating rural poverty, was working with the conventional practices of agriculture until experts like Banerjee realised that fertilisers were not giving the desired results. They convinced the women farmers to shift to organic farming. “Aamon is now diversifying into cash crops like mustard and turmeric,” he says. Nayagram is located in the south-western part of West Bengal that is arid. The West Bengal government had initiated Usharmukti, a water management programme to rejuvenate severn major rivers, across 54 blocks in the State’s deprived Jangalmahal region. Though the initiative has suffered because the 100-day Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme has come to a halt in West Bengal since December 2021, efforts are on to implement Usharmukti through other government programmes. Another challenge for farmers in Nayagram is the herds of wild elephants that often destroy their crops. The fragmented forests of Jangalmahal have, over the past few years, become home to 180 to 200 elephants. It has emerged as one of the hotspots of human-elephant conflict. Das says her village Nagripada is located close to the West Bengal-Odisha border. “If you want to witness more varieties of organic paddy and wild elephants you can come to our village,” she says, adding that the way to find her house is not to ask for her husband’s or son’s name. “Ask for Prabhati Das’s house.” Published - December 22, 2024 06:49 pm IST Copy link Email Facebook Twitter Telegram LinkedIn WhatsApp Reddit agriculture / Agriculture / agricultural research and technology / organic foods / SpotlightNone

China’s Luxeed R7 EREV, an extended-range electric SUV comparable in size to the BMW X6, debuted in China on December 19 with two variants, marking a significant milestone in the partnership between Huawei and Chery. While Chery handles the platform development and vehicle manufacturing, Huawei is responsible for software and sales, combining their respective strengths in this innovative collaboration. The two EREV variants of the R7, Pro and Max, come with a price tag of $34,250 and $39,700 respectively, catering to the China market. While the Max is equipped with Lidar, the cheaper Pro variant lacks the feature. One of the standout features of the car is Huawei’s third-generation Qiankun Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). This technology offers high-tech functionalities like map-less intelligent driving and advanced collision avoidance. The vehicle also boasts Huawei’s General Obstacle Detection (GOD) network and the Perception-Decision-Planning (PDP) neural network to provide a state-of-the-art intelligent driving experience. Packed with features According to reports , the new vehicle is fitted with a 1.5-liter turbo petrol engine as a generator to charge its 36 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, supplied by CATL. This setup delivers an electric-only range of approximately 124 miles and a combined range of up to 975 miles. This, it is hoped, will address range anxiety and enable hurdle-less long-distance travel with fewer charging stops. Its modern design, featuring slender headlights, retractable door handles, and a slanted roofline, aligns with contemporary aesthetics. The Luxeed R7 EREV also exceeds the dimensions of the BMW X6 , offering greater interior space and comfort. The Qiankun ADAS enhances convenience with features like autonomous high-speed navigation and intelligent parking, allowing the car to park itself without driver intervention. The Luxeed R7 EREV builds on the success of its electric predecessor, the R7 coupe SUV, which achieved over 11,000 sales in November 2024, suggesting strong market demand for the new model. In addition to ADAS, the Luxeed R7 EREV integrates advanced systems like the Qiankun iDVP intelligent vehicle digital platform, Qiankun Vehicle Control Module, and XMotion 2.0 Body Motion Collaborative Control system. These technologies enhance performance, stability, and safety through adaptive slip control and high-speed obstacle avoidance. Shared vision Huawei’s collaboration with Chery exemplifies the synergy between automotive manufacturing expertise and cutting-edge technology. Huawei plans to extend its Qiankun ADAS 3.0 system to vehicles from other major automotive brands, including Dongfeng, Changan, and GAC, further solidifying its position as a leader in intelligent driving technologies. The Luxeed R7 EREV reflects Huawei and Chery’s shared vision of combining practicality, innovation, and luxury. With its exceptional range, advanced safety features, and intelligent driving capabilities, this SUV is poised to make a significant impact in the Chinese automotive market, setting a benchmark for future electric and extended-range vehicles.
