JINGKUN and NGO organizations and Indian suppliers have implemented a plan called Leveraging climate-smart value chain interventions to empower farmers in the Bikaner district of Rajasthan, aiming to achieve sustainable development of the entire supply chain of guar gum raw materials and finished products and to enhance the quality of guar gum. So as to bring substantial help to Indian farmers who grow guar beans, and continue to pay attention to poor families and women's lives and children's growth education.

Experts and studies envisage that the future of the guar industry is for specialized applications and  derivatives. This demands leveraging investment, knowledge management, technology, and partnerships to strengthen the value chain both downstream and upstream. Nonetheless, there is an urgent need to address the barriers and bottlenecks to increase the efficiency and profitability at the producer’s level leading to better sustainability of the supply chain for quality Guar and its value-added products. In this context, it is imperative to design, test, execute, and track interventions that enable the farming community to adopt climate-smart agricultural practices and get benefitted for long term.
