Marwar's Red Jujubes: A New Path to Prosperity for 50 Villages

• Native red jujubes in Marwar, especially Jodhpur's Jhanwar region, are becoming a significant income source for farmers.
• Farmer Rajuram Patel buys jujubes from 50 villages, dries them, and supplies them to major markets nationwide.
• Jujubes are bought at 30-40 rupees/kg, dried for 10 days, and sold to markets in Delhi, Siliguri, and Bikaner.
• Cultivation requires no special care, keeping costs low, and demand for Marwar's native jujubes is rising.
• This venture boosts rural economy, creates employment in picking, sorting, drying, and packing, inspiring small farmers.
