-The Indian Express

Kutch has also registered record sowing of cumin seeds in 62,100 hectares out of the total 1.46 lakh hectare sown this Rabi season.

Rajkot: In a record in recent years, farmers of Gujarat have sown Rabi crops in almost 40 lakh hectares, after receiving better-than-average monsoon rainfall in 2019. Moreover, farmers have sown cumin seeds in around five lakh hectare, the highest in the past six years, with Devbhumi Dwarka sowing the crop in a record one lakh hectare.

Kutch has also registered record sowing of cumin seeds in 62,100 hectares out of the total 1.46 lakh hectare sown this Rabi season. “Soil in Rapar and Bhachau talukas of Kutch district are suitable for cumin seed cultivation. It rained well this monsoon and irrigation water is also available in these two talukas, thanks to canals of Narmada dam project. There-fore, farmers have sown the crop in large areas,” said Nayna Patel, agriculture (extension) officer of Kutch district. Both Devbhumi Dwarka and Kutch were drought-hit in 2018-19.
