Plantation Trees

Widely grown in BAIF Wadi plots in Rajasthan, in a semiarid zone, amla has proved to be a good source of income for poor tribal families. Amla is one of the richest natural sources of Vitamin C (it contains 650mg of Vitamin C per 100 gm of pulp). The fruit also contains a high amount of salt, carbohydrates, phosphorous, calcium, iron, other vitamins and amino acids. Due to high market demand, the fruit is being cultivated on a commercial scale and growers are fetching high returns.
