“…Seed is the primary input for the crop production. Seed related constraints in cumin production are such as non-availability of quality seed, lack of suitable and high yielding variety, lack of information about seed treatment related to wilt and blight resistance, limited adoption of seed treatment by farmers and lack of organic input [41,61].…”

“…The major constraint in this operation is method of sowing, farmers sow cumin seeds by broad casting method that causes uneven plant population. As the cumin seeds are small in size the broadcasting method of sowing require more number of seeds [83]. After germination plant compete with weed for water, light and space.…”

“…The cumin industry is continuously facing marketing challenges. The economic returns are drastically affected by these marketing constraints [83]. According to agricultural statistical data from 2018, the majority of farmers have poor economic conditions.…”

“…Because of the debt taken by non-institutional financial sources (dealers) farmers are forced to sell their produce to a specific dealer at a lesser price. Farmers are bound to sell their product immediately after the harvest to local sellers for payment of wages, meeting daily requirements and loans of the cooperatives [83]. Instead of selling in local markets, more than half of the overall supply is sold in Gujarat's Krishi Upaj Mandis, such as Unjha, Mehsana and Deesa.…”

“…The brokers of Unjha and Deesa mandi purchase produce that has not been processed, such as sieving or grading, and fix the prices of crops standing in farm so farmer get less profit to his produce. While, brokers after processing sell the crop produce at higher prices [53,83].…”

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) is an important seed spice crop, having good medicinal properties and grown predominately in arid and semi-arid region of the world. India is the leading country with share of 70% in the world production of cumin. Two states of India (Rajasthan and Gujarat) cover nearly 80% of the total area under cumin cultivation. The current scenario and status of area, production and productivity in India has been reviewed to identify the various factors affecting cumin production and productivity. Apart from these major constraints related to climate, soil, agronomical, crop input, extension, marketing and farm mechanization in cumin production and their management are discussed thoroughly. Due to low productivity of cumin there is need to focus on integrated approaches such as utilizing modern technologies, advance agronomic practises, farm mechanization interventions and advanced breeding tools to enhance the cumin production. The study reveals alternative solutions to overcome these problems and evidenced that there is huge scope of farm mechanization to improve the production of cumin crop and reduce drudgery of farmers.

Int. J. Seed Spice.

Cumin is the largest grown seed spice (7.14 lakh ha) and second largest grown spice next only to chilli (8.44 lakh ha) in India during 2022-23. The yield of cumin in India is 647 kgha-1; varies from district to district in Rajasthan (424 kgha-1) and Gujarat (995 kgha-1). Yield difference in Gujarat and Rajasthan needs to measure to assess the existing yield gap (YG), factors responsible and appropriated remedial measures. The present study has tied to document this YG during 2006-07 to 2021-22 with possible reasons. In Rajasthan, study measures a YG of 23% (115kgha-1) at state level. In major cumin growing districts namely, Barmer (43%), Jaisalmer (31%), Pali (21%) and Jalore (21%) had YG of 214, 153,107 and 106 kgha-1 respectively, over Nagaur during TE 2020-21. In Gujarat, at state level a YG of 17% (162 kgha-1) is found. Over Kutch, highest YG of 43% (417kgha-1) is measured in Patan district, followed by Jamnagar (35%). Surendranagar, the largest cumin growing district of Gujarat, harvested 27% (264 kgha-1) lower yield than Kutch. Changes in climate, soil health, crop management, inputs use, extension services, farm mechanization, and post-harvest management etc. are main yield determining factors in a particular district. If the yield of the aforementioned major cumin-growing districts improves by 25% over the next five to six years, the country's current cumin acreage will yield an additional thirty-five thousand tons of cumin.
