8. Focus crops for the State Rajasthan 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

13. Planting Material Arrangement Rajasthan

14. Measures to ensure the quality of planting material Rajasthan • 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
