Deficit in the sowing of Sweet Anise

There is a deficit of 2300 hectares or 25.84 percent in the sowing of the major grocery commodity- Sweet Anise. The main reason for the downfall in the sowing of fennel is that its sowing is backward in all other major growing areas of the state except Kutch.

Central Gujarat is witnessing a maximum decline of 50% in the sowing of fennel. The situation in North Gujarat is no different. The latest data from the state agriculture department shows that 2700 hectares of fennel have been sown in North Gujarat during the current season so far. In the review period of the last season, it was sown on 4500 hectares in the area. This shows that 1800 hectares have been sown under fennel in North Gujarat.
