Detailed mapping of agro-processing clusters to augment export, investment potential
The Rajasthan government is mapping agro-processing clusters to boost export and investment potential across the state. The initiative aims to link production areas with processing units to reduce post-harvest losses and improve farmer returns.
Why it matters
This policy represents a strategic effort to modernize agricultural supply chains and increase the economic value of regional produce.
The proposed agro-processing clusters in Rajasthan will be mapped with the crop-wise and region-wise details to identify and augment their economic, investment and export potential. A concrete action plan would be formulated based on these findings, Chief Secretary V. Srinivas said in Jaipur on Thursday (September 10, 2026).
Work is underway in the State for developing 10 agro-processing clusters based on moong, mustard, soybean, kinnow, pomegranate, guava, orange, isabgol, cumin and garlic. The mapping of major production areas will facilitate their linkage with the processing units and markets.
Addressing a stakeholders’ meeting, Mr. Srinivas said the farmers would receive better returns for their produce if the entire value chain from farm to market was strengthened. He laid emphasis on creating more facilities for sorting and grading, packaging, cold storage, processing, transportation and supply systems, brand development and market linkages.
