About NRCP
The ICAR – National Research Centre on Pomegranate, Solapur (Maharashtra), was established on June 16, 2005 by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi, as a step to strengthen research and development in pomegranate. This is the only institute working solely on pomegranate. The center was established to fulfill the growing demand for pomegranate both in domestic and export market by tapping the immense production potential prevailing in the country.
Pomegranate is a high value crop. Apart from its demand for fresh fruits, the processed and value added products like pomegranate juice, ready-to-serve beverage, wine, minimally processed arils and seed oil are also gaining importance in world trade………
