Production of Jeera in India
It is estimated that India produced roughly 627 thousand metric tonnes of cumin in the financial year 2023. From the fiscal year 2015, this constituted a rise of roughly 486 thousand metric tonnes. The states of Gujarat and Rajasthan produced the majority of the nation's cumin. In 2022, India produced roughly 10.8 million metric tonnes of jeera.
The production of jeera is good in tropical and sub-tropical climates and the best-suited soil is drained sandy loam soils. Jeera grows best in temperatures ranging from 9°C to 26°C with 30 to 270 cm of rainfall annually. Based on the variety, the duration of the crop is 110 to 120 days. It needs comparatively less water than other tropical plants. Rainfall during the harvesting season is detrimental to the quality of the seeds.
Cumin cultivation requires a soil pH of 6.5 to 8.5. It must not be grown in soils that are saline, heavy clay, or alkaline. Since growing jeera on fields where other crops in the same family have recently been grown could increase the risk of pests and diseases, it is best to not grow jeera in those areas.
