Rajasthan is endowed with diverse soil and weather conditions The state has well identified 10 Agro-climatic zones

The diversity in climatic conditions of the State creates potentiality to develop certain belts of horticultural crops in the State.

SWOT analysis of horticulture in Rajasthan

StrengthsDiverse climatic conditions suitable for various cropsFavorable climate for production of Mandarin, Kinnow, Papaya, Pomegranate, Mango, Lime, Ber, Aonla and Seed spicesAvailable surplus in Spices, Onion, Pea, Tomato

WeaknessLesser - availability of quality seeds of vegetable and spices and quality planting material of fruits. Lack of water resourcesWeak post harvest management facilitiesInadequate processing units

OpportunitiesScope in area expansion of fruits and dry land horticulturePotential to increase production and export of seed spices. Vast domestic market which is yet untapped48.66 lac ha of cultivable waste land

Threats High cost of production and lack of

remunerative prices to farmers Price fluctuations and market gluts Poor participation by private sector to invest in

PH infrastructure Over exploiting ground water & frequent

droughts

Strategy for implementation of NHM

The strategy is:

To cultivate horticultural crops under a cluster approach, wherein all focus and operation will be emphasized on a cluster of horticulture crops and all common resources are pooled and put in to cultivation excellence.

End-to-end approach covering all production, post harvest and market related aspects for holistic development of horticulture to assure appropriate returns to the growers / producers and nutritional security of common people.

Integration of fruit orchard plantation with farm ponds and water saving technologies of drip system of irrigation

Enhancement of scope of employment with the intervention of pre and post harvest infrastructure and hi-tech green house cultivation.

Skill development and capacity building of all stakeholders. Forward linkage with processing industries by providing financial assistance to the

horticulture based processing units from state plan schemes.

Focus crops for the State

Focus crops: Based on Market linkages (existing and potential) Return to farmers Production advantage- potential in the domestic market Export potential

Fruits: Mandarin, Kinnow, Pomegranate, Mango, Papaya, Bael, Ber, Aonla, Guava, Lime, Sweet orange

Spices: Coriander, Cumin, Fenugreek, Fennel, Mehandi Flowers: Rose (Dutch rose & Desi rose), Gerbera

State has established an excellent model by integrating fruit orchard plantation with farm ponds and water saving technologies of micro irrigation- Drip System

Promotion of green house cultivation through provision of additional subsidy. Now subsidy available for green house in the State is:

75 % for SF/MF farmers instead of 50% under NHM 50 % for other farmers instead of 33% under NHM

{<}

Major Thrust

Capitalize on the naturally growing organic produceOrganic Farming linked with Internal Control System & Certification

Private sector participation in pre and post harvest infrastructure: Allowing direct purchase from farmers Allowing setting up of private mandies Contract farming in horticultural crops Subsidy on Aonla, Mandarin & Isabgol produce based processing units- @

50 % of the cost of plant & machinery or Rs. 100 lacs whichever is less Subsidy on planting material for green house/ shade net house cultivation 20% additional subsidy on drip irrigation system installation under MIS

Planting Material Arrangement

Measures to ensure the quality of planting material

Formation of RAJHANS, an autonomous society for raising of quality planting material of fruitsMother plants assessment by scientists at RAJHANS units District level committee to monitor, supervise & register private nurseries Procurement of quality material from SAU’S & registered nurseriesEstablishment of new mother plant blocks from ICAR Institutes/ SAU’s Focusing on production of plant material for the varieties which are in short supply
