‘I’d like to buy my plants a Coke’

charukesi November 9th, 2004

Indian farmers have come up with what they think is the real thing to keep crops free of bugs. Instead of paying hefty fees to international chemical companies for patented pesticides, they are reportedly spraying their cotton and chilli fields with Coca-Cola . According to this article in The Guardian, farmers in Andhra Pradesh and Chattisgarh have decided that Things grow better with Coke.

Who says sales of Pepsi and Coke are decreasing?
And who says Indians are not innovative?
