Kutch’s Pomegranate Boom: How Farmers Are Thriving in an Arid Land
Pomegranate farming in Kutch has seen unprecedented growth, driven by advancements in irrigation and modern farming techniques. The region, once considered unsuitable for such crops, now plays a pivotal role in Gujarat’s agricultural output.
To support this progress, UPL Limited recently hosted a ‘Kisan Mela’ in Anjar, where experts and farmers discussed best practices and challenges in cultivation. The event facilitated knowledge exchange and highlighted the role of innovative farming solutions.

Kutch’s transformation into a thriving pomegranate hub highlights the power of irrigation, innovation, and community-driven knowledge-sharing. Continued support and initiatives will further strengthen the region’s agricultural potential.
