South Goa leads state's vegetable boom
Margao: South Goa has emerged as the key driver of the state's vegetable output. Govt data reveals a striking disparity in agricultural output between the two districts, with South Goa producing 1,427 metric tonnes (MT) of vegetables in 2024-25, nearly seven times North Goa's 192MT. With South Goa dominating in the agriculture sector, cucumber production reached 459MT in South Goa, while North Goa managed just 12MT. Similarly, bhendi (okra) production stood at 411MT in South Goa as against 117MT in North Goa. Of the total 208MT of vegetables exported through the Goa State Horticulture Corporation Limited (GSHCL), South Goa contributed 206MT, with cluster beans (87.5MT), bhendi (73.1MT), and cucumber (31.1MT) leading the export charts. The state directorate of agriculture reported that 80–85% of agricultural land is now mechanised, aided by subsidised tractors, tillers, transplanters, harvesters, and other modern tools. Govt's roadmap for the next decade is to expand the farm power to cultivable area ratio up to 2KW per hectare through advanced machinery suited for Goa's terrain and small landholdings. The focus areas will include setting up custom hiring centres in all talukas, boosting farmer training, and integrating precision farming technologies. In 2024-25, 1,192 farmers received assistance of Rs 81 lakh under the 'Promotion of Organic Farming 2018' scheme for purchasing organic inputs, and four farmers received Rs 22,000 for vermicompost units.

ET's email queries to Dow Chemicals and Mindspace Business Parks remained unanswered.

The momentum is widely expected to carry forward into 2026, supported by sustained demand from key sectors such as global capability centres (GCCs), banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) institutions, flexible workspace operators, and leading Indian technology companies. These segments continue to account for the largest share of fresh leasing as well as renewals, underpinned by India's cost competitiveness, skilled workforce, and strong digital infrastructure.
