Guar Gum will come under Commodity Transaction Tax....

Indian Govt has issued a circular that the transaction of Guar gum in commodity market will come under commodity translation tax. There will liability of seller to pay Commodity Transaction Tax at the rate of 0.01%. 

Govt has issued a notice that the non farming commodities ( processed) will come under commodity transaction tax from 1st July 2013. This circular will also includes the processed farming items like sugar and Guar gum, soya meal, mentha oil

Even the provision of this tax were made in the budget 2013 but no circular was issued. As per teh current circular the pure farming activities will be exempted from the Commodity transaction tax. 

Finance Minister spoke in the budget speech that Commodity Transaction Tax of commodity market is equal to Security Transaction Tax of capital market.

There are 22 Commodity market in India but only 6 market operate on National Level . The combined transaction of these market was Rs 170,46,840 Crore . There is 80 % share of the non -agricultural commodities  in this combined turn over.

Guar seed is the farming commodity so it will be exempted from this  Commodity Transaction Tax.

Guar seed ( guar gum ) Gum Cultivation in Summer crop

This is best time for the summer crop who want to cultivate guar crop. The climatic condition are suitable for guar cultivation . It is noticed that summer crop gives good production as comparison to the rainy crop/ monsoon crop. Guar is a 90-100 days crop so one can expect the harvest of this summer crop in may- june. The only constraint with this crop is water, if there is sufficient amount of water then one can go for guar cultivation. Guar doesn't require too much water but it will require two- three irrigation in peak summer period. There attack of disease and pest are less in summer period. Growers can get good rates in May-June  in comparison to October - November. During  period of May-June there is congested supply in market.

Guar Gum Export from India is increasing

The volume of guar gum export is increasing after prices were stabilized during this year. Guar gum and buffalo meat has emerged leading exportable agriculture produce from India. Rates are going up slowly during this months . There is improvement of INR 1000-1500 in guar gum rates in local market. There are two main reason.  First reason :-Demand and supply equation is stabilizing slowly and slowly. Second reason :- There is improvement in Rupees rate in comparison to USD. Though there are no any major chances of further improvement in guar gum rates but the equation of demand and supply and USD / INR rate will effect guar gum price. We can say that currently guar is out speculators . There is volatility but not too much. Hoping that summer crop will be sown in some parts of India in April and that production will come in market in June.  In June Mansoon/ Kharif crop of Guar will sown in major guar growing belt. Climatic condition of June- July will decide further change in rates of Guar. Currently there is enough stock of guar seed in market there is no need to be panic about supply.

Guar Seed ( Gaur Gum ) arrival increased in the market.

After the re listing of Gaur seed and Guar Gum in the forward market, there is regular downfall in the rate of both commodities.  Farmer and traders are not looking the rise in the price. The farmer were holding and arrival was  very poor in the market on the exception of rise in the price after re listing of guar seed and guar gum in the forward market. 

Now the arrival of Guar seed is increasing slowly and slowly in the market from farmers. Due to this arrival the rate is sharply going down. There is 16 % down fall in the price of guar seed and guar gum after re listing of guar seed and gum in forward market.   On May 14 the rate of Guar seed was around INR 9,700/-/ 100 Kg  It has come down up to INR 8000/- / 100 Kg up to yesterday.

Is this loos for industry or it is good for industry.  The rate are moving toward the stabilization. This is very good for teh whole industry. A stable market will attract more investment. In long term the industry will get benefit form the stable rates of   guar seeds.

The farmers and growers need nto worry about this downfall in the rate. The activity was suppose to be happen  from October to January. But due to tight supply of guar seed from the farmer to market did not let it happen. 

This is a regular circle activity of the guar business, after the production rates comes down for 3-4 months. Because farmers are having the stock now they require the money and they are converting commodity into cash, hop that this will continue up to 5-6 months.

Now the farmers need money for sowing of the Kharif Crop. 

This is also the marriage season North India which will continue up to July -August. In the next month, the school and college will start from farmers will need money for the admission of the young generation. There will be more pressure of arrival  of commodity in the market. After 4-5 month the New crop of Guar will come and that will saturate the market. Side by side some production will arrive from the  summer crop and some new area of Guar cultivation like Guajarat, Andhrapradesh, Tamilnadu and Maharashtra.

Right now the arrival of Guar ( Guar Gum) Seed  has increased up to 60,000- 65,000 bags / day in last 2-3 weeks. in the physical Mandi ( Grain Market ). It is expected that this year the area of Guar cultivation will increase 20-25 % than the last year and there will be 6-7 million bags more production than last year.

Now the Importers are ignoring the long term contract they are preferring the short term contract as per their demand.  Due to this activity there is no sudden increase in the demand but in the volumatric terms the demand in stable and regular. In financial term this year ( 12-13) India has earned more foreign currency from Guar Gum export in-comparison to last year ( 11-12). It is expected that this year demand will increase in comparison to last year. This demand is very less in comparison to the arrival of commodity into the market.

This activity of arrival of commodity to the market will continue for next 7-8 Month. The normal and good monsoon will continue to pressurize the rate of guar rate toward downside. This is process of adjustment of equation between supply and demand. The rate of Guar will stabilize in this process. This is good for Industry.

Guar Gum Cultivation In India and Its future

Rates of Gaur Seed and Guar gum are going down day by day. Even it was started to decrease from a peak of  INR 32,000/ 100 Kg in last year, but the current concern is that the rates were stable in between INR 9000-12000/ 100 Kg . After the listing no major increase in the rate was seen. It started to going down  and reached up to a level of 6000 / 100 Kg. Since last two day I am looking a very small improvement in the rate of Guar seed and Guar Gum.

If we analyse the current condition of Guar seed it is as follows.

• This time the monsoon is on time with a prediction of good rainfall. 
• The farmers are having huge stocks, 
• New crop is suppose to arrive after four- five month
• There is no any improvement in the forward ( future rates)  trading.
• Manufacturers are not getting long term contracts from the buyers 
• There is also arrival of the guar seed of summer crop from some other states.
• 
  

 Now the question is how long this downfall will continue.  Following factors will decide the rate of guar seed in future.

• Exploration of New Oil and Natural Gas Fields.
• Increase in the rate of the Crude oil.
• Stability in the middle east. 
• New area under Guar crop cultivation.
• Actual rainfall during the Kharif season
• Successful crop cycle of Guar crop with out any heavy damage.

As guar seed is grown in a particular type of Agro and Climatic belt of India and Pakistan, so there are more chances or risk of failure or success of the crop.

Even the Oil and natural Gas industry looking the stability in the rates of Guar Seed. The stability in the rates of guar seeds will help the entire Industry and all the stake holders.

This is year there is expectation of  increase of guar cultivation area in the normal rainfall condition and stable rates in last 7-8 month except the last one month. The state Govts are also promoting the cultivation of Guar. 

Crises in Ukraine can lead to the boom in fracking industry.

If there is no diplomatic solution of Ukraine crises, it can lead to the boom hydraulic fracturing. Might be there is the own reason of Ukraine and Russia for this crises but  USA will be gainer from this crises and EU will looser 

The US and EU can lead to the financial sanction against Russia to create pressure, but the reality is that in the current situation Europe need Russian natural gas. The pipelines passes through the Ukraine. If the tension continue then Russia can use  Natural Gas as Weapon. 

The economic sanction will not lead to early effect in Russian economy as Russia itself is a 4 trillion economy, but Europe can coll down immediately without the Russian Gas.

But one thing is clear if there no friendly relation Between EU and Russia, then  EU can go for then hydraulic fracturing. If the environmental rule of EU don't permit to do so then the USA can enjoy this situation and hydraulic fracturing activity will increase in USA. USA is already leader in hydraulic fracturing.

In the current condition USA is profitable in both condition, If USA get success then it will strengthen its step in UKRAINE. If  things are again US then it will be the leading supplier of Natural GAS to EU.

The same time if EU freeze the Russian asset then Russian will also put same impose on EU assets in Russia. There is chances that these sanction can back fire.

In strategic point of View Russia will gain from this conflict, but if the  strong long term conflicts arise between EU and Russia, then EU will be the looser. In short term EU will face the GAS crises, and US will enjoy this situation. 

Might be the Guar farmer of Rajasthan can enjoy this situation, but after looking all the condition i don't find any gain for Rajasthan Guar Farmers in coming future. Because the total use of Natural gas will same in all condition, SO the overall demand of  hydraulic fracturing process will be same. The hydraulic fracturing can shift from one region to another region in the over all scenario. Another fact is that in the next 7 month there will low requirement of energy.

Ultimately the key is in the hand of BRICS economy. Strategically Russian and friendly relation with Indian and China. There is old saying in India. The exact looser in  battle is "battle ground", where distraction take places. This time it is UKRAINE.

Guargum futures gain on low-level buying

After a long spell of bearish trend, guargum found fresh buying support and rose by Rs 310 to Rs 12,690 per quintal in future trading today.  Marketmen said pick up in demand at prevailing lower levels against restricted supply mainly led the rise in guargum prices here in future markets. Fresh commitments at existing lower levels by traders, tracking firm overseas markets too helped to kept prices under green zone, they said. At the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, guargum for December contract rose by Rs 310, or 2.50 per cent to Rs 12,690 per quintal, with an open interest of 38 lots. Most active October month hardened by Rs.190, or 1.54 per cent to Rs 12,560 per quintal, having an open interest of 2,623 lots.

ग्वार फसल के किसानों तथा इससे सम्बंधित व्यापारियों व उधमियों से विनम्र निवेदन

भगवान के आशीर्वाद से आप किसान लोग ग्वार लगाने वाले क्षेत्र से सम्बन्ध रखते है. पिछले २-३ सालों से ग्वार व ग्वार गम के भावों में काफी उत्तार चढ़ाव देखने को मिल रहा है. जिससे किसानो को कुछ समय के लिए फायदा भी हुआ..... लेकिन ज्यादा फायदा नहीं हुवा .....

इस उतार चढ़ाव की स्थिति में किसानो ने ग्वार को अपने घर में भंडारित कर रखा है. कुच्छ किसानो ने तो 2-3 साल का ग्वार भी भंडारित कर रखा है. वैसे तो ये किसानो का अपना निजी मामला है कि वो इसे बेचे या न बेचे.  

लेकिन जब बात ग्वार लगाने वाले  किसानों के समूह की करें तो ये स्थिति चिंता जनक है.

किसान भाइयों ग्वार का उपयोग बहुत सारी इंडस्ट्रियों में होता है. लेकिन जो ये उतार चढ़ाव है वो खनिज तेल व प्राकृत गैस की उत्पादन इकायों की तरफ से है. ग्वार गम के साथ में 60 तरह के ओर भी रसायन काम में आते है.  ग्वार का प्रयोग सस्ता पड़ता था तो इसे काम में लेने लग गए.....

इसी कारण से ग्वार के दामों में चढ़ाव हो गया.   लेकिन साथ में ग्वार दूसरी इंडस्ट्री के पहुँच से दूर हो गया. जो की आने वाले समय के लिए खतरनाक है. इससे किसानो की निर्भरता केवल एक तरह की इंडस्ट्री पर हो गयी.

इसी कारण से सारी की सारी मांग  खनिज तेल व प्राकृत गैस इंडस्ट्री  पर निर्भर कर रही है. 

अभी जो 10-15 दिन से भाव चढ़ रहे है उनकी स्थिति भी आपके सामने रख देता हूँ.  ये पूर्णतया सट्टे बजी वाले भाव है. जो इस इंडस्ट्री को लम्बे समय में डूबा के रख देंगे.  इस भाव पर ज्यादा बिज़नस नहीं हो रहा !  

• आज के दिन खनिज तेल व प्राकृत गैस इंडस्ट्री  से कोई भी नयी मांग नहीं है.
• अमेरिका में सभी खनिज तेल व प्राकृत गैस इंडस्ट्री के पास अगले 5-6 महीने का स्टॉक पूरा है 
• आज के दिन वंहा के आयातकों के पास इंडिया से आधी दरों पर ग्वार गम पड़ा है जो की अगले 1 साल के लिए प्रयाप्त है. 
• अगर नयी मांग आई भी तो वि अभी बाज़ार में उपलब्ध 5% -10 % ग्वार से पूर्ण हो जायेगी . 
• व्यापारी भाईयों के पास भी खूब ग्वार का  बीज पड़ा है
• किसान भाइयों  का तो कहना ही क्या, उन्होंने ने तो अभी पिछले साल का  75% माल स्टोक कर रखा है.
• उससे पिछले साल का भी 20-25% माल रख रखा है.
• 2 महीने बाद नयी फसल आने वाली है 
• भगवान की दया से अभी तक बारिश प्रयाप्त है  लगता है ये फसल अच्छी तरह से हो जाएगी.
• ग्वार की फसल को जड़ से ज्यादा वातावरण में नमीं चाहिए,वो इस बारिश के मौसम में प्रयाप्त रहती है
• ग्वार एक कम पानी की फसल है जो अपना काम 1-2 बारिश में निकाल लेती है...

किसान भाइयों अगर ये कृत्रिम कम सप्लाई वाली स्थिति ज्यादा लम्बे समाय तक बनी रही तो  हमे निम्न नुकसान होगें.

1.  ग्वार के भाव रोजाना उचें नीचे होने से कम्पनीज को रोजाना अपने लाभ हानि की गणना करनी पड़ती है , तथा निवेशकों को जबाब देना पड़ता है 
2. ग्वार इंडस्ट्री से निवेशकों का भरोसा उठ जायेगा . तथा जल्दी से कोई इस इंडस्ट्री में निवेश नहीं करेगा , जो की लम्बे समय के लिए जरुरी है ताकि इसपे आगे रिसर्च व डेवलपमेंट होती रहे...
3. तेल व प्राकृत गैस इंडस्ट्री ग्वार गम को पूर्ण तया नकार देगी. किसी दुसरे उत्पाद पर चले जाएंगे .  फिर वो ही 1600 -1700 के भाव बाज़ार में रह जायेंगे.
4. दूसरी इंडस्ट्री ग्वार पर ज्यादा रिसर्च नहीं करेगी व अपने उत्पादों में ग्वार काम में नहीं लेंगे.
5. ग्वार मेहंगा होनें के कारन दुसरे क्षेत्र के लोग ग्वार लगायेंगे, जीससे आपका एकाधिकार ख़तम होजायेगा, जो की फिर लम्बे समाय के लिए खतरनाक है .
6. दुसरे देश  अमरीका, ऑस्ट्रेलिया , अफ्रीका के देश , चीन इसकि खेती करने लग जायेंगे तथा इससे भारत की कुल हिस्सेदारी ख़तम हो जाएगी.  
7. भारत की इंडस्ट्री वाले भी उतार चढ़ाव की स्थिति में व्यापार नहीं कर पाते. उतार चढ़ाव की स्थिति में माल को स्टोक कर नहीं सकते जो की प्रोसेसिंग में आर्डर को जल्दी  पूरा  करने के लिए जरुरी है . 

लम्बे समाय के लाभ को ध्यान में रखते हुए अपने माल को  समय समय पर निकालते रहे. कृत्रिम स्प्लाइ बंद ना करे , कृत्रिम स्थिति हर व्यापार के लिए खतरनाक होती है. निवेसक अपना पैसा दूसरी जगह लगा देगा लेकिन आप को तो ग्वार की खेती करनी पड़ेगी. ज्याद नुकसान बरानी क्षेत्र के किसानों को होगा, क्योने की उनके पास दुसरे विकल्प नहीं है.

 अगर दाम व्यवहारिक रहेंगे तो ज्यादा रिसर्च  होगी, दूसरी नयी इंडस्ट्री भी इसको अपनाना चाहेगी व ग्वार का उपयोग बढेगा. जिससे आपको फायदा होता रहेगा .व्यापारी उधमियों से भी ये ही निवेदन है की इंडस्ट्री की जैविकता बनाये रखे , किसी भी तरह की गलत बात ना फैलाएं.  किसानो को इसके लम्बे समय के लाभ के बारे में बताएं... 

क्यों की ये ठीक उसी तरह की स्थिति है अगर सारी इंडस्ट्री मिल के ग्वार गम लेने से मना कर दे.  

भाषा व वर्तनी की अशुधियों के लिए खेद है..... सुधरवाने का कष्ट करें ...........

Baker Hughes announces new guar-alternative fracturing fluid delivers cleaner fractures for improved recovery

Baker Hughes announced today the commercialization of its ClearStar™ fracturing fluid system, which improves reservoir performance and delivers superior fracturing in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. The ClearStar fluid system provides better flowback for increased production and improved economic results compared to guar, guar-derivate, and borate systems.

The ClearStar system is a guar alternative that uses an efficient, refined cellulose derivative polymer to attain superior viscosity and achieve a low pH to reduce the potential for clay swelling that can restrict production flow. It delivers stable performance at temperatures up to 275°F (135°C).

With customizable delay times based on lateral length and pump rates, ClearStar fluids enhance sand transport through the wellbore during pumping operations to ensure proper placement within the fractures. The ClearStar system has a high molecular weight compared to other guar-alternative fracturing fluids, so it requires a smaller amount of polymer to achieve the desired viscosity. Lower polymer loading helps reduce a fracturing operation’s overall horsepower requirements and related fuel costs.

Used with the Baker Hughes EnZyme™ and HighPerm™ encapsulated breakers, ClearStar fluids minimize the risk of formation and proppant pack damage to ensure maximum flowback capacity and speed, and increase both initial and long-term hydrocarbon production.

"We are delighted to add the ClearStar system to our robust fracturing fluid portfolio," said David Gallagher, Baker Hughes Vice President of Production Enhancement. "This premium fluid can offer our customers superior flowback performance, and has been shown to significantly boost one year cumulative hydrocarbon production compared to conventional fracturing fluids."

In 32 separate treatments in Colorado’s Wattenberg field, the ClearStar fracturing fluid system produced an average 11% more cumulative oil over 350 days of production compared to wells stimulated using premium, guar-based fluids.

Current price rise of guar seed and gaur gum......Real or Again Speculation

The day before yesterday the guar seed was reached up to the level of 7000/ 100 Kg. I regularly receive the call about the future of guar seed.

To get the answer of your query. Please look at the following updates.

1. Guar seed sowing is 70 % higher than last year.
2. The current rainfall is regular and more than average.
3. There is no news of crop damage due to heavy rain.
4. The demand of guar powder is closed up to next march
5. Fresh harvested crop is to be come  after 2 months

None of the above condition is in the favor of  price rise of guar seed . but it has become habit of newspaper and give opinion on rise of  guar seed .

There is one factor which can lead to price rise, that is the going down of value the Rs. because the international trade  is done on USD.  Gum companies are earning more money due to high exchange rates. This is also possible that the rates are gone up just  because of rupees down fall. 

In international market there is no fresh order from fracking industry. It will take time up to next March and April.

So the current rates are speculative only, it is advised to keep away from the market in context to guar seed and guar gum...

Can poor monsoon lead to increase in Guar prices ?

The monsoon has already delayed in guar growing belt. Most of  guar is grown in rain-fed conditions. Guar cultivation area will shrink this year. Most of  first sowing has been destroyed due to drought in rain fed guar growing belt. As per weather report there are chances that there can be drought this year. It is clear that guar production will decline this year. There can be  gap between demand and supply.

This gap will work as vacuum in the market, which can further lead to increase in guar seed rates. There are chances that rate of guar can be increase up to 10,000 /100 kg.  in normal condition we can expect 7000-8000/ 100 kg.  

It is expected that within three days, monsoon wills started to cover western part of India, which is  major guar growing belt. Currently there are two crops  one crop which has been sown in the month of June, this crop has affected widely  just because of delayed monsoon.  Another crop, which will be sown in this monsoon. 

In  irrigated area, crop is standing in good condition and monsoon will lead to good harvest. Problem is rain fed area, sowing has been delayed due to late monsoon or first crop has been been destroyed. This condition can lead to the another sowing . 

As per price is concerned the rate will be remain in between the bracket of 4000 to 8000. Only an abnormal vacuum can lead to abnormal price rise. There are low chances in speculation and unfair stocking activity, Central govt is regularly monitoring the stocking activities. 

Trend of commodity market is also under direct lenses of  govt regulators. There is not any major chances of unexpected price rise. Price will settle down with in 10-15 days. There is possibilities that from next month rate will come on regular track.

Guar Seed and Guar Gum prices weakened due to stagnant demand at current price level.

Today, Guar seed and guar gum prices have weakened due to stagnant demand at the current price level. Demand is poor at the current price level. Guar seed and gum prices were quoted weak in the physical and forward markets due to stagnant demand at lower levels. The current prices are not supporting the buying of Guar seed and guar gum in the market. Currently, there are parliamentary elections in India, and business activities are slow, awaiting the formation of a new government.

Most processing industries are waiting for big orders. Generally, major demand arises from the US, but this year the major demand for guar products is coming from Norway and the Netherlands. The Norwegian government has awarded 62 new licenses for oil drilling to 24 energy companies, a significant development. As of today, Norway is experiencing the highest hydrocarbon extraction of the last 15 years. Equinor is investing USD 6 billion per year in oil and natural gas exploration and drilling activities in Norway. Currently, Equinor is working on 55 new projects. Russia and Norway are major natural gas suppliers to Europe. After 2022, Norway became the number one oil supplier to Europe after surpassing Russia.

 
Guar Seed and Guar Gum prices weakened due to stagnant demand at current price level.

After Norway, the Netherlands, USA, Germany, Russia, UK, and Australia are major importers of guar gum from India. Norway has imported 75,850 MT, the Netherlands has imported 39,040 MT, the USA has imported 35,835 MT, Germany has imported 28,393 MT, Russia has imported 27,954 MT, the UK has imported 13,605 MT, and Australia has imported 11,650 MT of guar gum from April 2023 to December 2023. Oil drilling activities are a major booster for Guar seed and guar gum demand and further price movement.

This is a critical time for the entire guar gum industry. The guar gum industry should take collective action for the standardization of the quality and grading of guar gum. Guar-based products are increasing day by day. Guar-based dietary fiber is already on the market. Now people are working on extracting guar protein for human consumption. Quality control is necessary with the increasing number of guar-based products. There are many non-tariff trade barriers in the guar business. The industry must work to remove these barriers.

Due to increased demand and lower production, crude oil prices are also increasing. The global market is bullish for crude prices in the current quarter. Currently, Brent crude oil is being traded at USD 85.95 per barrel, and WTI crude oil is being traded at USD 81.68 per barrel. OPEC anticipates a substantial surge in global demand for liquid fuel in 2024, reaching 2.25 Mb/d, followed by a continued increase to 1.85 Mb/d in 2025. The projection for future growth in US tight oil output remains steady compared to the previous month, with an expected uptick of approximately 4% in 2024 and a subsequent 5% rise in 2025.

Guar seed and guar gum prices are weak in the local physical markets. Prices of Guar seed and guar gum are quoted lower than the commodity exchange NCDEX. Future trading of Guar seed and guar gum is also expected to remain poor due to no business at current levels. Good quality Guar seed is traded at Rs 5200 per 100 kg, and average quality Guar seed is traded at Rs 4800 per 100 kg. Standard quality guar gum is traded at Rs 10100 per 100 kg. In interior locations, Guar seed is traded up to Rs 4700-4800 per 100 kg. Guar seed is being traded strongly in the future market. At NCDEX (National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Ltd), Guar seed-10MT is traded at Rs 5185 and Rs 5260, lower by 0.38 percent or Rs 20 per 100 kg and 0.17 percent or Rs 9 per 100 kg, with an open interest of 68965 and 16120 for April and May month contracts.

Guar gum is also traded weakly in the future market. At NCDEX (National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Ltd), Guar gum-5MT is traded at Rs 10130 and Rs 10090, lower by 0.26 percent or Rs 26 per 100 kg and 0.25 percent or Rs 26 per 100 kg, with an open interest of 41020 and 7885 for April and May month contracts.

Advance Estimate of Guar ( guar gum ) Seed Production in India in year 2014-2015

Most of advance estimate has been released in guar growing states of Rajasthan, Haryan and Gujarat for the year 2014-2015. 2-3% guar seed production comes from rest of states. The final tally of estimated  guar seed production is as follows.

S.N.                                   State                                               Production ( MT)
1.                                   Rajasthan                                               1339806
2                                    Haryana                                                   340000
3                                    Gujarat                                                     179100
4                                    Others                                                      100000
========================================================
 Total Estimated Guar ( Guar gum ) Seed  Production               1'958'906 MT
========================================================

The share of other state of has assumed around 5 % as productivity and production are is very low in Rajasthan.  We are estimating that in this year  there will be around 19'589'060 Bags around 20 Million Bags or ( 2 Crore Bags of 100 kg each). As per my estimate I am expecting a upward correction in guar seed production data of Rajasthan. 

The estimated yield is very lower than last year but overall condition  is not problematic or pathetic. It is satisfactory production. It  can easily complete the demand of  guar gum of world by adding teh cary forward stock of last year.  .

Advance estimate of Guar gum ( guar seed) production-year 2014-2015 in Gujarat shows down fall trends in comparison to last year

Gujarat govt has release the data of Guar gum ( guar seed) crop cultivation area. As per data there is estimate that guar crop is sown on 298'500 Hectare.  This year Guar gum ( guar seed) cultivation area in Gujarat state is  36.8 % lesser than last year, but it is more than before last year (Year-2012-2013).

     * 2014-15 data is as per estimated crop cultivation area  data released by Gujarat state govt.
     # Production data and yield data are not mentioned as I dint get any reliable information


Last year climatic condition were in favor of guar crop cultivation so guar crop cultivation area was increased but in this year the crop cultivation area is more than state govt targets. This year state govt targeted 283'500 Hectare.

Guar seed production area, Production quantity and yield of last few years 

As per an average yield of 600 kg / Hectare we are expecting 179'100 MT guar seed production from Gujarat state.  Which is less than last year but it is more than average. The production estimate is positive.
