The government of Rajasthan has revised the production forecast for guar seed marginally upwards in the second advanced estimates, announced late Tuesday evening.
The state contributes nearly 50 per cent of the national output. With this revision, the guar seed output is estimated to rise to 1.21 million tonnes (mt), as compared to 1.14 mt in the first advanced estimate made by the government in September 2011.
