HORTICULTURE CROPS ASSESSMENTHorticulture includes fruits, vegetables, spices, flowers and medicinal &
aromatic plants. Horticulture sector is a major driver for the growth of
Indian agriculture. India is the second largest producer of fruits and
vegetables in the world. The total area occupied by horticultural crops in
India was 23.69 Mha and total production was 268.8 MT in 2012-13.
Indian Satellite sensors such as
AWiFS, LISS-III/IV are being
used for inventory of fruits,
vegetables, plantation crops,
crop health, disease mapping,
yield modeling and year to
year changes, site suitability
and post-harvest studies.
· Operational production forecasts at national level for winter potato & onion (late kharif, rabi)
· Inventory of grapes, mango, banana, apple, chilli and arecanut
· Techniques development under Technology mission on horticulture in northern region including Sikkim
· Site suitability studies for horticulture crop intensification
· Post-harvest infrastructure, pests & diseases, precision farming
· Impact of climate change scenario for apple crop
MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS
· Horticultural policy decision: crop monitoring, domestic needs, pricing, processing, import/export, planning cold storage & agro-processing units
· Planning for expansion and development
· Support for crop insurance schemes
· Crop intensification and diversification
MAJOR BENEFITS
Major Projects:
· Coordinated programme on Horticulture Assessment & Management
using geoinformatics (CHAMAN)
· Onion crop inventory
· Plantation crop inventory - Tea, Coffee, Rubber

Under the Technology Mission on Integrated Development of Horticulture in NE States (including Sikkim), mapping of current “Jhum” and characterisation, identification of areas suitable for a particular fruit and prioritisation for phase-wise implementation was carried out.
