3. Present Scenario … Salient Features
66% population depends on agriculture and AH.
They contribute 28 % to SDP at current prices.
However, agriculture in the State is primarily rainfed ( 70%)
Rajasthan has 10.5% area of the country
Supports 5.5% of human population
10% of cattle
Only 1 % water resources of the country
Water share for irrigation : 83%

Available surplus in Spices, Onion, Pea and Cucurbits
Weaknesses
Lesser-availability of quality planting material
Acute shortage of water
Poor PHM Infrastructure
Opportunities
Ample scope in area expansion of fruits
Potential to increase production and export of seed spices
Vast potential of medicinal and aromatic plants
Threats
High cost of production, poor price stability and lack of remunerative prices
Frost during winter, high wind velocity with high temperature in summers
