We all know that Makhana is cultivated in ponds. Farmers also have to face some problems during its cultivation. Through this post we will discuss the problems faced in Makhana production.

• Farmers find it very difficult to get the Makhana out of the water. If the pond is deep, then there is a danger of drowning in the pond while removing the makhana.

• We cannot hold our breath under water for a long time. Due to this, the farmers have to come up again and again to breathe and it takes more time and labor for the farmers to extract the makhana.

• There is also a danger of many types of poisonous creatures inside the water.

• Farmers who extract makhana from under water are also prone to fungus or skin diseases.

• While removing the makhana from inside the water, about 25 percent of the makhana remains inside. Apart from this, 25 percent of the makhana gets spoiled while peeling it.

• There are also many farmers who do not have their own ponds or do not know the art of extracting makhana from water. Due to this farmers get less profit.
