Company Profile:

 Onion and garlic are the world famous spice commodities, used for flavouring the dishes.  Besides culinary purposes, these are considered as valuable medicinal items.  The fungicidal and insecticidal properties of garlic are well identified.  Dehydrated powder and flakes prepared out of onion and garlic provide rich agro-industrial base for these commodities.

India ranks second in area (5.28 and 1.71 lakh hectares) and production (74.51 and 9.23 lakh tons) of onion and garlic, respectively, next to China.  Besides meeting domestic requirements, India exports 10.0 to 11.0 lakh tons of onion worth Rs.1000 crores.  Over last 25 years the production of onion has increased from 25.04 to 74.51 lakh tons, while that of garlic from 2.16 to 9.23 lakh tons.  The horizontal growth in area has contributed to total production rather than vertical growth per unit area.  The productivity of both, onion (14 t/ha) and garlic (5.39 t/ha) is far low as compared to Netherlands, USA and China.  Poor yielding short day genotypes, susceptibility of all available genotypes to major pests and diseases, improper or inadequate use of production technologies, lower down the productivity.
