The climatic conditions of western Rajasthan are highly suitable for production
of quality pomegranates. Moreover, recent buyer-driven introduction of Bhagwa
variety under ferti-drip system and further research support has revolutionized
pomegranate cultivation in region. On an average, fruit yield of 12-15 tonnes/
ha is being harvested from a well-maintained orchard (fourth years onward)
with a net return of ` 3.50-4.0 lakh/ha per annum. Undoubtedly, the region has
shown substantial growth both in area and production but productivity with
export quality fruits is varying within region. The adoption of improved
technologies helps further in achieving higher productivity with competitive
quality. Pomegranate growers need to be secured against risk across various
aspects from production to marketing through technological and policy support.
