The most serious problem faced by high potential agriculture areas is that of seasonal price fluctuations. To ease out the situation it is pertinent to understand the markets for the agro-based products.
Dear joginder Singh Jee Sat Shree Akal,
Some agricultural production activities can be carried out in order to provide income such as: vegetables, aromatic and medicinal plants. Flowers. Indoor plants and fruit tree nurseries. The market for aromatic and medicinal plants seems to be important, especially in India. Vegetables and medicinal plants should be linked with processing and packaging activities. Different groups of women could implement these activities according to their own interests and skills, one specialized in production, the other in processing and packaging.
Flowers and indoor plants production could interest villages located close to towns where there is a market for this kind of production. Fruit-tree nurseries could be established by women in Jordan (in Syria this activity cannot be profitable as far as the prices of seedlings are highly subsidized), but the constraint is the necessity to obtain a licence. There is a market for high quality fruit-tree seedlings and a few women have competencies in this area.
Biological produce (fruit and market garden produce) could be an interesting' alternative in India.
