Detailed mapping of agro-processing clusters to augment export, investment potential
Work is underway in the State for developing 10 agro-processing clusters based on moong, mustard, soybean, kinnow, pomegranate, guava, orange, isabgol, cumin and garlic
The Hindu reports that the Rajasthan government is aiming to map agro-processing clusters with crop-wise and region-wise details to augment their economic, investment, and export potential. Chief Secretary V. Srinivas announced that a concrete action plan will be formulated based on these findings, which include 10 agro-processing clusters focused on crops such as moong, mustard, soybean, kinnow, pomegranate, guava, orange, isabgol, cumin, and garlic.
The mapping of major production areas will help link these clusters with processing units and markets, ultimately leading to better returns for farmers. The initiative emphasizes strengthening the entire value chain from farm to market, including facilities for sorting and grading, packaging, cold storage, processing, transportation, and supply systems, as well as brand development and market linkages.
