CHHINDWARA

Chhindwara, nestled in the heart of Madhya Pradesh, boasts a diverse economic landscape. Geographically, it lies in the Satpura range, adorned with lush forests and winding rivers. The railway connectivity is robust, with the Chhindwara Junction serving as a vital link on the Nagpur-Itarsi route. Road networks crisscross the district, including the NH 47 connecting Chhindwara to Nagpur and the SH 19 to Betul. The nearest airport, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport in Nagpur, facilitates trade and travel. Mining activities thrive, especially in coal and limestone. Industrial development flourishes, with textile mills, cement factories, and agro-based units. Agriculture forms the backbone, with crops like wheat, soybeans, and oranges dominating. District’s One District One Product is the Satpuda Orange—a succulent citrus variety. Its selection stems from the region’s fertile soil, favorable climate, and the famed Nagpur market that eagerly awaits this zesty delight.

One District One Product, Chhindwara

Production of this fruit crop in the central and western parts of India is increasing every year. the administration has taken a number of initiatives that not only boosted the farming of oranges in the districts but made local oranges a new brand and increased the export by almost fourfold, thereby benefiting thousands of orange farmers. Moreover, the branding of the oranges here under the name, ‘Satpuda Oranges’, has brought great results, resulting in export figures going up. A Centre of Excellence is also being built in Chhindwara, for orange farming and export, in collaboration with Israel. An MoU has been signed between the Israel and Madhya Pradesh governments to this effect Orange is an ODOP Product of Agar Malwa, Chhindwara, and Rajgarh.

SWOT Analysis

Strengths

1. Madhya Pradesh is one of the leading producers of Oranges having the second-largest area under cultivation.
2. Orange is consumed in all parts of the country and has a consistently high demand in the domestic market throughout the year.

Weakness:

1. The shelf life of Orange is too short.
2. Lack of Infrastructure for cold chains like Cold Store, Packhouse and Reefer Vans, test laboratories.
3. Farm Aggregation: The majority of the plantations including the Orange Plantation in Madhya Pradesh are small land holdings. Investment into the aggregator segment for the crop can be a huge business opportunity for the private sector.
4. Poor Market Linkage and packaging Techniques for fresh produce.
5. Farmers are Not Aware of the Standard Quality Norms Acceptable in International Markets.

Opportunities:

1. Processing of Oranges: Juices, Jams, Squash, Syrups, Cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, etc.
2. Growing export markets in Bangladesh, South Africa, the USA, and Spain, etc.
3. Offering huge investment opportunities, Madhya Pradesh can lead the country in terms of orange exports as the fruit is available around the year.
4. Supportive Government backing the investors which can help in taking large-scale commercial farming to major orange clusters.

Threats:

1. India is a major producer of Oranges in the world but it does not come under the top 10 orange exporting countries of the world.
2. Major Competitors are Spain, South Africa, China, the USA, the Netherlands, Australia.

Importing regulation of Agri & Food products are different in different countries.
