GUAR INDUSTRY VISION 2020

The current level of guar seed production in the country is 11.67 lakh tones from an area of 29.75 lakh ha under guar seed cultivation (five year average ending 2007-08) and the average productivity level is 392 kg/ha. The current average productivity of guar seed achieved in Haryana state is 1200 kg/ha, if the same level of productivity is achieved at the national level, the total production can be increased at 35.70 lakh tones, three times of the present level. Taking a conservative and achievable estimate of doubling the productivity, the total production can be achieved at 23.34 lakh tones. Highest production in the country was 15.13 lakh tones in the year 2003-04. With this level of expected production of guar seed, about 7 lakh tones of guar gum can be produced.

The yield in Haryana is higher by 206%. If 10% growth in productivity is achieved every

year, the total productivity can be doubled by the year 2020. The present revenue (foreign exchange earned) is 1125.77 Crores from export of guar products which would also be doubled at the same level of prices, if India is able double its guar seed productivity. The guar processing industry is fragmented and food safety concerns are growing in export front. Processing technology in the country is still not well developed and product specific guar gum derivatives are not processed in the country. To achieve all these, measures required are brought-out in this report. This forms the Guar Industry Vision 2020.

Guar Gum exports in 2013-14 stood at Rs 11,734 crore with 48 % increase by volume

India Govt's organization has released the data of export of agricultural commodities from India. growth rate has been slow down from 24 .10% of last year t to 15.70 %  of this year. Guar gum powder export has emerged as major reason for slow down of  the agriculture export rate.

In 2013-14, India exported agriculture farm goods worth Rs 2,68,477 crore as against Rs 2,32,041 crore in 2012-13. In 2011-12, India had exported farm products worth Rs 1,86,970 crore.

The major reason behind decrease in guar gum export was the rate of guar gum . The rate of guar gum was remained steady throughout the year 2013-14. The average rate of guar gum seeds was INR 5000/ 100 Kg.

It is noticed that the  there is sharp increase in volume in comparison to last year.  There volume wise it has increased 48 %  last year  there was decrease of 42.5 % . overall we can say by volume wise the export of guar gum has increase.

This year it is expected that teh volume will increase as the carry forward of stock in international destination has come down. If the monsoon will normal or at a deviation up to 20 % then there will no any significant change in rate. The existing carry forward of farmers stock will  come out for sell in this year.
