Gujarat has emerged as the country’s leading producer of okra, with the Saurashtra–Kutch region increasingly positioning itself as a major growth engine for horticulture ahead of the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference (VGRC) 2026 to be held in Rajkot, officials said on Monday (December 29, 2025).

According to the Director of Horticulture, Gujarat, the State ranked first in India during 2023–24 both in terms of area under okra cultivation and overall production.
