Whilst, in recent times, Gujarat has seen a high average annual growth of 9% in the agricultural sector, the rest of India has an annual growth rate of around 3%. This success was lauded by former President of India, APJ Abdul Kalam.<a href="#cite_note-170">[170]</a> The strengths of Gujarat's agricultural success have been attributed to diversified crops and cropping patters; climatic diversity (8 climatic zones for agriculture); the existence of 4 agricultural universities in the state, which promote research in agricultural efficiency and sustainability;<a href="#cite_note-171">[171]</a> co-operatives; adoption of hi-tech agriculture such as tissue culture, green houses and shed-net houses; agriculture export zones; strong marketing infrastructure, which includes cold storage, processing units, logistic hubs and consultancy facilities.<a href="#cite_note-172">[172]</a> Gujarat is the main producer of tobacco, cotton, and groundnuts in India. Other major food crops produced are rice, wheat, jowar, bajra, maize, tur, and gram. The state has an agricultural economy; the total crop area amounts to more than one-half of the total land area.<a href="#cite_note-173">[173]</a> Animal husbandry and dairying have played vital roles in the rural economy of Gujarat. Dairy farming, primarily concerned with milk production, functions on a co-operative basis and has more than a million members. Gujarat is the largest producer of milk in India. The <a href="/wiki/Amul" title="Amul">Amul</a> milk co-operative federation is well known all over India, and it is Asia's biggest dairy.<a href="#cite_note-174">[174]</a> Among the livestock raised are, buffaloes and other cattle, sheep, and goats. As per the results of livestock census 1997, there were 20.97 million head of livestock in Gujarat State. In the estimates of the survey of major livestock products, during the year 2002–03, Gujarat produced 6.09 million tonnes of milk, 385 million eggs and 2.71 million kg of wool. Gujarat also contributes inputs to the textiles, oil, and soap industries. The adoption of cooperatives in Gujarat is widely attributed to much of the success in the agricultural sector, particularly sugar and dairy <a href="/wiki/Cooperative" title="Cooperative">cooperatives</a>. Cooperative farming has been a component of India's strategy for agricultural development since 1951. Whilethe success of these was mixed throughout the country, their positive impact on the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat have been the most significant. In 1995 alone, the two states had more registered co-operatives than any other region in the country. Out of these, the agricultural cooperatives have received much attention. Many have focused on subsidies and credit to farmers and rather than collective gathering, they have focused on facilitating collective processing and marketing of produce. However, whilethey have led to increased productivity, their effect on equity in the region has been questioned, because membership in agricultural co-operatives has tended to favour landowners whilelimiting the entry of landless agricultural labourers.<a href="#cite_note-175">[175]</a> An example of co-operative success in Gujarat can be illustrated through dairy co-operatives, with the particular example of <a href="/wiki/Amul" title="Amul">Amul</a> (Anand Milk Union Limited). <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Amul_Plant_at_Anand.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c3/Amul_Plant_at_Anand.jpg/220px-Amul_Plant_at_Anand.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="98" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="5214" data-file-height="2329"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 98px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c3/Amul_Plant_at_Anand.jpg/220px-Amul_Plant_at_Anand.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="98" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c3/Amul_Plant_at_Anand.jpg/330px-Amul_Plant_at_Anand.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c3/Amul_Plant_at_Anand.jpg/440px-Amul_Plant_at_Anand.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Amul plant at Anand</figcaption></figure> Amul was formed as a dairy cooperative in 1946,<a href="#cite_note-176">[176]</a> in the city of Anand, Gujarat. The cooperative, Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF), is jointly owned by around 2.6 million milk producers in Gujarat. Amul has been seen as one of the best examples of cooperative achievement and success in a developing economy and the Amul pattern of growth has been taken as a model for rural development, particularly in the agricultural sector of developing economies. The company stirred the White Revolution of India (also known as <a href="/wiki/Operation_Flood" class="mw-redirect" title="Operation Flood">Operation Flood</a>), the world's biggest dairy development program, and made the milk-deficient nation of India the largest milk producer in the world, in 2010.<a href="#cite_note-177">[177]</a> The "Amul Model" aims to stop the exploitation by middlemen and encourage freedom of movement since the farmers are in control of procurement, processing and packaging of the milk and milk products.<a href="#cite_note-178">[178]</a> The company is worth 2.5 billion US dollars (as of 2012<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gujarat&action=edit">[update]</a>).<a href="#cite_note-179">[179]</a> 70% of Gujarat's area is classified as semi-arid to arid climatically, thus the demand on water from various economic activities puts a strain on the supply.<a href="#cite_note-180">[180]</a> Of the total gross irrigated area, 16–17% is irrigated by government-owned canals and 83–84% by privately owned tube wells and other wells extracting groundwater, which is the predominant source of irrigation and water supply to the agricultural areas. As a result, Gujarat has faced problems with <a href="/wiki/Overdrafting" title="Overdrafting">groundwater depletion</a>, especially after demand for water increased in the 1960s. As access to electricity in rural areas increased, submersible electric pumps became more popular in the 1980s and 1990s. However, the Gujarat Electricity Board switched to flat tariff rates linked to the horsepower of pumps, which increased tubewell irrigation again and decreased the use of electric pumps. By the 1990s, groundwater abstraction rates exceeded groundwater recharge rate in many districts, while only 37.5% of all districts has "safe" recharge rates. Groundwater maintenance and preventing unnecessary loss of the available water supplies is now an issue faced by the state.<a href="#cite_note-181">[181]</a> The Sardar Sarovar Project, a debated dam project in the Narmada valley consisting of a network of canals, has significantly increased irrigation in the region. However, its impact on communities who were displaced is still a contested issue. In 2012 Gujarat began an experiment to reduce water loss due to evaporation in canals and to increase sustainability in the area, by constructing solar panels over the canals. In a one megawatt (MW) solar power project set up at Chandrasan, Gujarat uses solar panels fixed over a 750-metre stretch of an irrigation canal. Unlike many solar power projects, this one does not take up large amounts of land since the panels are constructed over the canals, and not on additional land. This results in lower upfront costs since land does not need to be acquired, cleared or modified to set up the panels. The Chandrasan project is projected to save 9 million litres of water per year.<a href="#cite_note-182">[182]</a> The Government of Gujarat, to improve <a href="/wiki/Soil_management" title="Soil management">soil management</a> and introduce farmers to new technology, started on a project which involved giving every farmer a <a href="/w/index.php?title=Soil_Health_Card&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Soil Health Card (page does not exist)">Soil Health Card</a>.

The Bhadrapad fair is held at Ambaji which is in the Danta Taluka of Banaskantha district, near the Gujarat-Rajasthan border. The walk from the bus station to the temple is less than one kilometre, under a roofed walkway. Direct buses are available from many places, including Mount Abu (45 km away), Palanpur (65 km away), Ahmedabad and Idar. The Bhadrapad fair is held in the centre of the Ambaji village just outside the temple premises. The village is visited by the largest number of sanghas (pilgrim groups) during the fair. Many of them go there on foot, which is particularly enriching as it happens immediately after the monsoon, when the landscape is rich with greenery, streams are full of sparkling water and the air is fresh. About 1.5 million devotees are known to attend this fair each year from all over the world. Not only Hindus, but some devout Jains and Parsis also attend the functions, while some Muslims attend the fair for trade.
