1. Strategy for Availability of Vegetables during Rainy Season

2. General Scenario  Huge land resource- 342 lakh ha  Diverse climate- Arid 61%, Semi Arid 16%, Humid 15%, Sub humid 8%  Limited Availability of water- 1.1 % surface water & 1.7% ground water of country  1/3 rd of the cultivated area under irrigation  70 % area is irrigated by wells & tube wells (ground water) and 27 % by canals % Irrigated to cultivated area <20 21-40 41-60 61-80 >80 Net Cultivated Area : 175.00 lakh ha Rain fed Area : 107.00 lakh ha Net Irrigated Area : 66.60 lakh ha

5. Issues ….  Negligible area under controlled condition (Rajasthan) Protected CultivationUnitArea Covered Green House Lakh Sqm11.18 Shade net house Lakh Sqm15.68 Low tunnel Lakh Sqm60.43 Plastic MulchHa1103

6. Issues ….  Less area under F1 Hybrid Seeds (Country) VegetablesArea under hybrid cultivation Brinjal18% Chilli1% Tomato36% Cauliflower2% Cabbage30% Okra7% Melons3% Gourds3%

7. Issues ….  Poor adoption of advanced production & protection technologies  Poor adoption of high yield supporting technologies like IPM/INM, Raised beds, Plug technology Mulch, Solarization, Trellising, Drip Irrigation, Ferigation etc.  Poor Post Harvest and cold chain linkage  Lack of grading/ sorting, packaging, controlled temperature transport & storage practices

8. Issues ….  Price fluctuation/ seasonal gluts/ poor market price at peak arrival time  Fluctuating weather conditions  Untimed rains, hail-storms

9. Strategy  Promote vegetable cultivation under green house, shade net house & low tunnel  Enhance productivity to bridge the gap in potential & actual yields  Collection of rainwater & use in crop cultivation  Popularize IPM/INM  Support Post Harvest Infrastructure  Up-gradation of skill & knowledge of the growers & other stake holders

10. Integration of Green House, Water Harvesting Structure and Solar Pumps

11. Strategy 2015-16  Green House- 3.00 lakh Sqm  Shade net house- 1.00 lakh Sqm  Low tunnel- 15.00 lakh Sqm  Mulch- 1000 ha  Hybrid seeds- 3000 ha  Kharif Onion- 15000 ha  Onion storage- 500 Nos  Pack House- 60 Nos  IPM- 2000 Ha  Refer van- 5 Nos
