Guar Seed / Guar Gum (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) Cultivation Consultancy. Guar has emerged as a profitable crop for rainfed areas, particularly in regions like Rajasthan and desert areas. It is an industrial crop primarily cultivated for producing guar gum powder from guar seeds. Guar gum powder finds widespread industrial applications, with major demand stemming from the oil and natural gas industry, particularly for oil and gas drilling activities where it serves as a gelling agent in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) processes. Additionally, guar gum is utilized in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and the printing industry.

Industry Overview

Currently, around 90% of the world's guar gum production comes from Rajasthan alone, making India a dominant player in the global market. However, there is a growing need for alternative sources of guar seed production to sustain the supply chain of guar gum. With value addition and modifications, guar gum can yield profits ranging from 200-300%, with some modified variants commanding profits of up to 1000%.

Guar Cultivation

Guar is an annual legume crop mainly grown in hot and arid climates, with a cultivation period of 90-120 days. It is characterized as a low-investment, rainfed crop, making it suitable for regions with limited water resources.
