1. Solve the following case study. 14
A bumper pomegranate crop, to the tune of around 12-13 lakh tonne, is expected
this January season on the back of increased acreage that has come under
pomegranate cultivation in Maharashtra and other states. Despite this, export
market for the fruit has not picked up because of lack of demand and issues with
regard to fruit size and quality, says Dipak Patil Chairman, Maharashtra
Pomegranate Growers Research Association (MPGRA). Normally, pomegranate
production in the country comes up to 8 lakh tonne.
Around 50,000 additional hectares has come under cultivation in Maharashtra
that usually has 85,000 hectares for the same. Due to the good prices in the last
few years, farmers in the state have been shifting to this fruit from grape, he
said. In Gujarat, an additional 15,000 hectares has come under cultivation while
Madhya Pradesh has increased acreage by 10,000 hectares. Maharashtra
contributes 90% of the country's pomegranate production.
'Farmers, however, are now concerned about the 50% drop in prices owing to a
sudden influx of the commodity into markets', Patil said. Pomegranates are retailing
at Rs. 30-50 per kg in several markets in Maharashtra against prices of
Rs. 100-150 per kg last year. The production has increased but not quality and
this has led to price fall, he added.

Indian pomegranates are being exported only to Dubai with four-five containers
being processed on a daily basis. Although Russia emerged as a new market
last year, traders are not keen to send products there owing to payment issues
in the previous Patil said. UAE, Saudi Arabia, Netherlands, Egypt,
Turkey, Bahrain and Kuwait are other important markets for the fruit. The delay
in monsoon in this year affected the crop to some extent in Solapur region.
