High Demand For Cow Dung Drives E-Commerce in India

[fallstuff]

Having a higher death rate means the population is aging, in our case, it means our population growth rate decreasing, which is good.

Germany is 11.5
Japan is 9.5
Bangladesh is 5.6

You all are more close to Bangladesh which has a rapidly growing population.

Interesting logic

There is no contradiction between India's overall mortality rate being higher than Pakiland's; and at the same time India's IMR being substantially lower than Pakiland's. Historically, Pakiland has had far better nutrition, sanitation and healthcare standards than India's (esp the BIMARU states), so Pakiland's past generations grew up much healthier than India's. Naturally, the adult population shows far lower premature mortality than India's.

Good thing, of course is that India has been changing course since 1990s, while Pakiland has been busy practising secularism, both at home as well as abroad (Kashmir, A'stan etc) and incrementally it is lagging behind India on nutrition and healthcare. That's why India's IMR are now much better than Pakiland's (almost 50% lower), moreover child malnutrition measured by wasting (or is it stunting?) is now lower in India (39%) vis-a-vis Pakiland (45%)- (Source: IFPRI 2015). Commendably, BD in spite of being poorer than India and Pakiland vastly outperforms both in IMR as well as wasting.

You are correct. Pakistan has lost its way. To add to your comment, take a look at this:

Cow dung drives e-commerce?? Try having two tablespoons of fresh cow dung every morning in empty stomach @RiazHaq , it might cure you and help you become a sensible member here.

Well i guess this shows how fast india is developing, where internet is acting as a bridge between rural india and urban india. Technically if a rural india can sell cow dung online, that means we are adding more and more people to mainstream business and ensuring that maximum profit reaches to endpoint.

Coming to point of dung, the best/costliest coffee in the world "Luwak Coffee" is produced from the coffee beans that have been consumed by a certain animal(mongoose/monkey). Before it can be produced, the coffee beans would have to first pass through the digestive system of the animals.

So it that can sell and world pays for it, whats harm in cow dung?

Haq's Musings: E-Commerce: Cow Dung Sales Hot on Amazon and eBay in India

Cow patties -- cow poop mixed with hay and dried in the sun, made mainly by Indian women in rural area -- are among the hottest selling items by online retailers includingAmazon and eBay in India, according to media reports. Some retailers are offering discounts for large orders and offering free gift wrapping.



Cow dung has a special spiritual significance in Hindu religion. The cows in India do not eat non-vegetarian items and only eats grass or grains which makes cow dung holy and acceptable. In a lot of pujas (worship rituals), both dried and fresh cow dung is used. From Govardhan Puja to havans, cow dung is used during pujas.

In many spiritual "yagnas", the fire is lit using dried cow dung and desi ghee (clarified butter). It is believed that burning cow dung with ghee is one of the best ways to purify the home, according to BoldSky.com.

In addition, cow dung is the most widely used fuel in India for heating and cooking in rural India. However, the online orders are coming mostly from cities where it would be difficult to buy dung cakes. The cakes are sold in packages that contain two to eight pieces weighing 200 grams (7 ounces) each. Prices range from 100 to 400 rupees ($1.50 to $6) per package.

Hindus do not eat beef but cow urine and cow dung are considered sacred. Urine is believed to be beneficial by Hindus as both a beverage and used for purification of buildings. American newspaper USA Today published a story earlier this year about a urine bottling plant in Haridwar, India. A recent Times of India report said cow urine was used by a group of Hindu activists for cleaning some government buildings.

Online sales of cow dung offer a uniquely Indian blend of ancient Hindu culture and modern information technology being embraced in the country. Rise of Hindu Nationalists to power under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given renewed impetus to total Hinduization of India.

There's no evidence to support this claim. Pakistanis have been and continue to be taller than their neighbors. They eat a lot more protein and dairy products than in the past and much more than their neighbors.

It's common to see Pakistani children taller than their parents.

Its not my claim. Its a long term study by Pakistani doctors/scientists. Are you also going to claim, there is no Polio in Pakistan? Or Pakistani literacy rate in not decreasing? Or that Pakistani HDI is not classified as 'low'?

Talking about food, take a look at this hunger rankings:

Your country is going down the drain buddy. Sad but true.

Thats how freaking enterprising Indians can get... we can make profit even form chicken shit.
Poultry droppings can generate enough gas to run a farm - timesofindia-economictimes

Here is something more on Power of Chicken Shit for you:

Read this:

The Ministry of Non - Conventional Energy Sources, Government of India, approved the technology and gave the nod for setting up a 2.5 MW power generation plant. The Rs.60 crore plant was set up on a 60-acre plot of land at Goundampalayam in Namakkal in 2004.

Production has gone up to 3.76 MW now. They sell about 20,000 units of power to the State grid daily at the rate of Rs.3 per unit. The company has sold so far 65 lakh units of power to the State, worth about Rs.2 crores.

eeling nostalgic? There's no better way to take yourself back than with your nose: Research shows that aromas can bring back powerful memories. And for some in India, nothing brings back childhood quite like the distinct smell of cow poop. As the Associated Press reports, patties made of dried cow dung and hay has become an internet sensation for nostalgic shoppers, who use the fragrant cakes for fuel and in ritual fires.

The Associated Press writes that cow dung cakes are selling out on websites like Amazon. The cakes appear to be selling mainly to urban areas that do not have a ready supply of cow dung, with demand spiking around traditional festivals such as Diwali in November or the upcoming Lohri in January.

India has a massive bovine population—nearly 300 million as of 2012. All those cows produce a lot of poop, which is then used as both fertilizer and fuel. Chris Copp writes for Full Stop India that dung is "a commodity so intertwined with daily survival that it is nearly impossible to think of life without it." India is thought to use as much as 400 million tons of cow dung for cooking fuel alone each year, with approximately 30 percent of rural fuel production dependent on animal waste.

But rapid urbanization in India means that more and more people are moving from rural areas to cities that don't rely on cow dung for fuel. That's leading to new demand for cow dung in urban areas—and thanks to sites like Amazon and eBay, cow patties are just a click away. The cakes are selling out around Hindu festivals, when people burn the cakes for ritual fires and to stay warm. And yes, smell is a factor: A spokesperson for Amazon India tells the Associated Press that "people who grew up in rural areas find the peaty smell of dung fires pleasant" and nostalgic.
