SWOT Analysis STRENGTHS • Varied Agro-climatic conditions • Available surplus in Spices, Kharif Onion, Pea and Cucurbits. • Strong cooperative credit and marketing structure • High productivity (Mango, Banana, Potato, Onion) OPPORTUNTIES § Scope for Area expansion in fruit crop § Potential to increase production and export of Banana , Mango, Potato, Cumin , Fennel and Isubgul § Sradar Sarovar project will provide irrigation facilities for additional 17. 90 lakh ha. § Good potential for cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants § Investment in green house , floriculture projects , tissue culture units , fruits & vegetable processing units WEAKNESSES • Poor irrigation facilities • Erratic monsoon • Shallow and undulating land with low fertility THREAT • Drought prone • Prone to cyclone and locust • Depletion of water table • Deterioration of soil and water • Salinity ingress 13

Infrastructure availability v 213 cold storage having 9. 50 lakh mt. storage capacity v 42 fruit & vegetable co-operative marketing societies and 197 APMC dealing with selling & buying of horticulture produce in the State. v 16 Tissue culture Lab producing quality planting material v Two AEZs v 1. AEZ for mangos and vegetables is in central and southern Gujarat. About 50% of mango production is from this region. There about 25 processing units and 100 cold storages in the region. Exports are primarily to Middle East and UK. v 2. AEZ for onions has about 22 units of dehydration out of which about 20 are HACCP certified. Exports of onions are primarily in the dehydrated form. The key destinations are Europe and USA. v 202 mandis located in 225 talukas and 25 districts. Large mandis include Ahmedabad, Surat, and Rajkot for fruits & vegetables and Unjha for spices v Processing units exist primarily for mango pulp, pickles, tomato ketchup, dehydration of onion, potato/banana chips, spices & Isubgol processing having capacity of 11. 78 lakh quintals/ Annum 14
