4. Impact of National Horticulture Mission Significant increase in area and production

5. (Year wise outlay and expenditure) 5 Rs. Lac Physical and financial progress achieved during previous years {<}

6. SWOT analysis of horticulture in 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 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.

8. 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 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

9. Market Linkages  Four Food parks  Two AEZ’s  81 Cold Storages  57 Processing units (fruits)  125 Mandis (19 Commodity Specific Markets)

10. Proposed Action Plan for 2009-10 Revised Annual Action Plan Central Share 5978.80 State Share 1055.08 Total7033.88 Rs. in Lac Provision of Rs. 1117.00 Lac as state matching share

11. Reason: Rapidly depleting ground Water Safe Critical {<} Over exploiting ground water in almost all blocks of the state  Semi critical- 14  Critical- 50  Over exploited –140 dark zones  Safe- 32 only State has established an excellent model by integrating fruit orchard plantation with farm ponds and water saving technologies of micro irrigation- Drip System 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 Major Thrust

12. 12 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 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- @ 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

13. Planting Material Arrangement

14. Measures to ensure the quality of planting material  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 SAU’S & registered nurseries  Establishment of new mother plant blocks from ICAR Institutes/ SAU’s  Focusing on production of plant material for the varieties which are in short supply  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 SAU’S & registered nurseries  Establishment of new mother plant blocks from ICAR Institutes/ SAU’s  Focusing on production of plant material for the varieties which are in short supply
