I need two lakhs (200,000 rupees). If I get those two lakhs, I have one acre of land where I can harvest 60 tons of sugarcane. From that, the income will be 30,000. If we cultivate organically, the income will be only 3,000. [The last part is unclear and seems like an incomplete sentence. It could mean something like "What's the use/benefit for me?"]
