Pearl farming is the cultivation of freshwater cultivated pearls on a farm. Farmers nucleate and take care of oysters for nearly 2-5 years in order to grow a pearl.
The best part about pearl harvesting is that such precious gemstones are in tremendous demand. Once produced, these light-weighted pearls can be preserved indefinitely. They are extremely non-perishable.
Marathwada pearl culture (MOTI) and Training centre in Aurangabad, Freshwater Pearl Farming Training Institute in Japiur, Wizard Pearl Farming Centre in Haryana, Swastik Pearls Farming and Training Centre in Uttar Pradesh and more offer comprehensive technical classes on pearl farming.
A single oyster costs between Rs 20 and Rs 30 at the low end. One single oyster pearl ranging in size from 1 to 20 mm may cost around Rs 300 and Rs 1500. The first investment for pearl cultivation would fall between 20,000 and 25,000 dollars.
The subsidy will cover 50% of the entire cost of establishing a pearl farming pond. The goal of this subsidy is to assist producers in increasing their income. Farmers would be able to generate income up to Rs. 3,000,000 by spending Rs. 25000.
Applicants should be an Indian citizen who works as a farmer. A number of documents are required for a subsidy application like Domicile Certificate, Category Certificate, Aadhaar Card, bank Account Details, Passport Size Photographs, and Pond Area & Farming Details.
