How Vikas Prajapati Became the First Hi-Tech Farmer Growing Capsicum in Sikar, Rajasthan

Breaking Barriers in Agriculture with Agriplast Protected Cultivation.

Agriculture is the backbone of India, but with climate change, decreasing arable land, and rising population, the traditional ways of farming are becoming increasingly unsustainable. Vikas Prajapati, a visionary farmer from Sikar, Rajasthan, realized this early and decided to embrace Hi-Tech Farming. Today, he is successfully growing Coloured Capsicum (Bell Peppers) in a region where such crops were once thought impossible, all thanks to Agriplast Protected Cultivation.

From Traditional Business to Hi-Tech Farming

Coming from a family business background, Vikas had always been fascinated by Greenhouses and Polyhouses. He believed that controlled environment farming was the future of Indian agriculture, especially in regions facing extreme climatic challenges. As he researched more, he discovered a startling fact—while the population was growing, agricultural output was shrinking due to unpredictable weather, depleting soil fertility, and lack of modern techniques. This realization fueled his ambition to become a Hi-Tech Farmer and contribute to the future of sustainable agriculture.

The First Setback: Learning the Hard Way

Determined to make a difference, Vikas started his first Hi-Tech farming project on his own, but due to lack of experience, he lost his first crop. This was a difficult phase, but instead of giving up, he decided to seek expert help. That’s when he found Agriplast Protected Cultivation through their YouTube channel. Impressed by their vision, mission, and dedication to advancing Hi-Tech Agriculture in India, he reached out to their team.

A Turning Point: Support from Agriplast’s Experts

Understanding his challenges, Agriplast’s Agronomist Team stepped in to support him in every way possible. Mr. Suraj, Agronomist at Agriplast, and Nitin Mittal from the Agriplast Team played a key role in helping him:

• Crop Selection & Agronomy Support – Guided him on the best farming practices for Coloured Capsicum

• Greenhouse Management – Assisted in temperature control, irrigation scheduling, and climate management

• Labor Hiring & Training – Helped him hire skilled labor and trained them for efficient farm operations

With the right technical support, best-in-class Agriplast polyhouse structures, and proper guidance, Vikas turned his failure into a success story.

Why Agriplast? The Most Reliable Greenhouse Structures

Vikas visited several polyhouse farms across India, but he found that Agriplast Greenhouses were the most reliable. According to him:

• Long-Lasting Structures – Agriplast greenhouses stand the test of time, even in extreme weather.

• Superior Ventilation – Ensures better air circulation, creating the ideal climate for crops.

• Robust Build Quality – Designed for maximum durability and yield optimization.

Making History: The First Farmer to Grow Coloured Capsicum in Sikar, Rajasthan

Sikar’s climate is not considered ideal for crops like Coloured Capsicum, yet Vikas is defying the odds and proving the potential of Hi-Tech Agriculture. This is the first time such a crop is being grown successfully in the region, and it is opening new doors for farmers who want to transition to climate-resilient, high-yield farming methods.

His journey from failure to success in just one year is an inspiration for every farmer looking to adopt Hi-Tech Agriculture.

A Message to Aspiring Farmers

Vikas believes that technology is the future of agriculture, and with the right knowledge and support, any farmer can succeed. He credits Agriplast Protected Cultivation for helping him realize his dream of becoming a Hi-Tech Farmer. His story is a testament to how India can lead the world in sustainable, climate-smart farming with the right technology, innovation, and expert support.
