The groundnut outturn in Gujarat is projected lower by 52% in a recent
survey by the Indian Oilseeds & Produce Export Promotion Council
(IOPEPC). The survey was jointly conducted with the Junagadh
Agricultural University as Gujarat is the largest producer of groundnut
during summer.
IOPEPC production estimates are higher than the trader’s projection. Groundnut output this summer is estimated to be about 91,966 tonnes as against 193,258 tonnes in 2014 by IOPEC which was projected around 75,000-78,000 tonnes this season by trade participants.
The covered area under groundnut crop was lower by 45% cent during summer 2015 at 49,300 hectares compared to 89,500 hectares in 2014.
Further, yield output was hit due to lower than the needed irrigation by several farmers in the region.
IOPEC also found that the farmers were unable to get the quality seed for planting this season and had to go for GG2 and J11 varieties. The recommended ones are TG-37 and TPG41.
The demand for india’s groundnut is growing overseas. India exported around 646,114 tonnes of groundnut from April 2014 to February 2015 which was 509,515 tonnes in the same period 2013-14.
