This document discusses how high density planting (HDP) can help double farmer's income in India. It notes that traditionally, banana farms plant 2000-4000 plants per hectare, but with HDP up to 4444-5555 plants can be accommodated per hectare. This increases yields from 40-60 tons per hectare traditionally to 80-120 tons with HDP. HDP also reduces labor costs and allows for mechanization, making it more economically viable for farmers. While there are some limitations like a lack of dwarf varieties and increased disease risk, case studies show that HDP can increase net returns over traditional methods from Rs. 135,000 per hectare to over Rs. 413,333 per hectare for banana
