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. Not Available |
