from low value cereals and other crops. Gujarat is the leading
producer of groundnut in the country and third largest producer
of milk. Arable land 12661
Gujarat also has a strong fisheries sector, the state has Net sown area 10302
 is one of the top in marine fish production
 export of fisheries has increased from USD 175 million in Total area sown 12487
2007-08 to USD 560 million in 2014-15, a CAGR of 18% ; it (2013-14, ‘000 hectare)
contributes 23.35% in the Nation‘s overall value added
marine products exports.

Gujarat has eight agro-climatic zones 10 beneficial for cultivation of a multitude of crops,
vegetables and fruits round the year. Based on soil characterization, rainfall and
temperature, eight agro climatic zones in Gujarat have been identified as under:
