Goraul has immense potential as a centre for horticulture and agro-processing (fruit pulp) industries. The entire region is dotted with plantations of

1) [[Mango]] - delicious local varieties which are increasingly getting lost in targeted marketing campaigns of alphonso and dussehri

2) [[Lychee]] - amazing varieties which lose much of their temper in transportation and need to be tasted straight from the plantations
