Groundnut production in Gujarat estimated to decline by 60%

Deficient rainfall in the key groundnut growing areas of Gujarat during the Kharif sowing period seems to have taken its toll on the production of the oilseed for the year 2012-13. The Solvent Extractors Association of India (SEA) has estimated only 695,000 tonne of groundnut production in Gujarat this fiscal as compared to 17,35,000 tonne in 2011-12, which shows a major dip of nearly 60%.
