SWOT analysis of horticulture in Rajasthan
Rajasthan
Strengths Diverse climatic conditions suitable for various crops Favorable climate for production of Mandarin, Kinnow, Papaya, Pomegranate, Mango, Lime, Ber, Aonla and Seed spices Available surplus in Spices, Onion, Pea, Tomato Weakness Lesser - availability of quality seeds of vegetable and spices and quality planting material of fruits. Lack of water resources Weak post harvest management facilities Inadequate processing units
Opportunities Scope in area expansion of fruits and dry land horticulture Potential to increase production and export of seed spices. Vast domestic market which is yet untapped 48.66 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
7
Strategy for implementation of NHM
Rajasthan

• 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
Rajasthan

• 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

Focus crops are being promoted with cluster
approach near the existing infrastructure for pre
post harvest, market, processing and AEZ's
having a minimum area of 50 ha in each district

Major Thrust

• Planned to brought 34500 ha area under fruit
  crops during next 3 years for doubling the
  production by 2011-12
• 2009-10 10000 ha
• 2010-11 11500 ha
• 2011-12 13000 ha

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

• Over exploiting ground water in almost all blocks
  of the state
• Semi critical- 14
• Critical- 50
• Over exploited 140 dark zones
• Safe- 32 only

Rajasthan
Major Thrust
lt

• 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

• Capitalize on the naturally growing organic
  produce
• Organic 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- _at_ 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

Measures to ensure the quality of planting
material
Rajasthan

• Formation of RAJHANS, an autonomous society for
  raising of quality planting material of fruits
• Mother plants assessment by scientists at RAJHANS
  units
• District level committee to monitor, supervise
  register private nurseries
• Procurement of quality material from SAUS
  registered nurseries
• Establishment of new mother plant blocks from
  ICAR Institutes/ SAUs
• Focusing on production of plant material for the
  varieties which are in short supply
