Chapter 1
Introduction

1.1 Background

Rabo India was appointed by Ministry of Agriculture to review action plan submitted by
the state. Ministry of Agriculture circulated operational guidelines to the States detailing
Mission objectives, structure, procedures for approval and implementation, ongoing
schemes, mission intervention and management and Overall targets under NHM. Based
on the guidelines, states have submitted their reports.

The objective of the review is to develop a demand –driven approach for horticultural
products. The review included the following:

• Identification of Market linkages of production areas in each of the states with

o Agri Export Zones
o Food Parks
o Existing processing facilities
o Terminal Markets
o Existing mandis
o Ports
• Mapping of production clusters of various horticultural crops with markets
• Prioritization of crops and clusters
• Identification of quality and varietal issues as per the market needs
• Identify missing links between farmers and processors, traders and retailers

1.2 Methodology

Rabo discussed the initial plan with state horticulture department. It was followed by
collection of data for mapping market linkages (Food Parks, AEZs, Processing facilities,
pack houses, cold storages, mandis). Rabo held discussions with other stakeholders
including processors with facilities in the state and traders in mandis. Rabo also used its
existing databases and international network.

1.3
1.3 Guiding Principals under NHM

The horticulture sector has contributed significantly to GDP in agriculture (28.5 per cent
from 8.5 per cent area). The objectives of the National Horticulture Mission are to

Rabo India 3
NHM - Revised Action Plan for Gujarat

double the horticulture production, i.e. to achieve a production of 300 million tonnes by
2011-12.

The Mission would adopt an end-to-end approach covering production, post harvest
management, processing and marketing to assure appropriate returns to
growers/producers; promote Research and Development (R&D) of technologies for
production, post-harvest management and processing in potential belts/clusters;
Enhance acreage, coverage, and productivity in potential belts/clusters; Adopt a
coordinated approach and promote partnership, convergence and synergy among R&D,
processing and marketing agencies in public as well as private sectors, at all levels;
promote, where appropriate, National Dairy Development Board model of cooperatives
to ensure support and adequate returns to farmers; Facilitate capacity-building and
Human Resource Development. State and sub-state level structures will be evolved,
keeping in view the need for getting adequate returns for the produce of the farmers
and eliminating middlemen to the extent possible.

Chapter 2
Potential of Horticulture in Gujarat

Gujarat has about 49% of the total area of the state are under cultivation. The area under
irrigation is about 33% of the net area sown, while rest of area is cultivated under
rainfed conditions. Thus, there is large area dependence on rain in the state.
Horticulture is a priority sector in Agriculture by virtue of it's vast potential in improving
the Socio – economic conditions of the farmers.

2. 1 Potential of Horticulture in the state

• The horticulture sector is supplier for large number of agro based industries which
has high avenues for generation of skill full employment and self employment
opportunities both in rural and urban areas.
• Gujarat has a wide variety of soil, rainfall pattern, temperature regimes and
irrigation availability.
• The area and production under various crops is as follows:

(tentativ

• Horticultural crops covered nearly 9 % of total cropped area i.e 9.65 lakh
hectares in the state.

NHM - Revised Action Plan for Gujarat

• The major fruits grown in Gujarat are Mango (31%), Banana (17%), chikoo (9%),
Citrus(10%), Aonla (2%), Papaya(2.25%). . The state occupies number one position in
the country in respect to per unit area production of potato and onion . The major
vegetables grown in Gujarat are Onion (16%) , potato (12.%) ,Brinjal (17%) , Tomato (8
%). The production of key crops is as follows:

• Varied Agro-climatic conditions • Poor irrigation facilities

• Available surplus in Spices, Kharif Onion, • Erratic monsoon
Pea and Cucurbits.
• Strong cooperative credit and marketing
structure
•
OPPORTUNTIE THREAT

• Scope in area expansion of fruits

• Potential to increase production and export of
Banana, Mango, potato, Onion, Cumin, • Prone to cyclone and locust
Fennel and Isabgol
• Sardar Sarovar project will provide irrigation
facilities for additional 17.9 lakh ha
• Vast potential for cultivation of medicinal

2.3 Consumption of Horticultural Products in the State

Fruits, Vegetables and Spices consumption is growing at a faster rate than most other
food products at 11, 12 and 9 percent respectively. This implies diversification in
consumer demand in favour of fruits, vegetables, spices.

Existing and Potential Market Linkages

A) Food Parks
There are no food parks in the state. Two food parks are planned at Hazira and Dahej.
The key crops grown in these area include mango, banana, papaya and sapota.

B) Agri-
Agri-Export Zones:
There are two AEZs in the state. One is for mango & vegetables and another for onions.
1. AEZ for mangos and vegetables is in central and southern Gujarat. About 50% of
mango production is from this region. There are about 25 processing units and 100 cold
storages in the region. Exports are primarily to Middle East and UK.

Rabo India 8
NHM - Revised Action Plan for Gujarat

2. AEZ for onions has about 18 units out of which about 6 are HACCP certified. Exports
of onions are primarily in the dehydrated form. The key destinations are Europe and
USA.

C) Mandis
State has 202 mandis located in 224 talukas and 25 districts. Large mandis include
Ahmedabad, Unjha and Rajkot. These mandis are price leaders and determine price even
in small mandis. Gujarat Industrial policy (2003) proposes following changes in the
mandi system:
• Establishing linkages with multi-commodity exchanges.
• Strengthening futures market for Agriculture Commodities
• Transaction through E-commerce will be encouraged. E-commerce facilitation
centers will be put in place for primary producers.
• The Government would strive to create model APMCs, that would serve as a source
of inspiration for other APMCs in the state.

d) Processing units and cold storages

Processing units exist primarily for mango pulp, pickles, tomato ketchup, dehydration of
onion and tutti –frutti. Total number of registered processing units is 56 with a

Rabo India 9
NHM - Revised Action Plan for Gujarat

capacity is 11.78 lakh quintals. The locations of registered processing units are as
follows:

There are 185 cold storages in Gujarat having total capacity of 8.1 lakh MT used
primarily for potatoes and vegetables (6.92 lakh MT)

Key issues with low level of processing in the state are poor post harvest infrastructure.
It is estimated that Rs. 800 crores per annum are lost due to lack of post harvest
infrastructure and processing. Post harvest loss for various fruits and vegetables is
between 25-30%.
