Challenges in Horticulture

Growth achieved so far needs to be

sustained/increased

– Increase in demand of horticulture products due to growing

population, increase in household income and growing

sensitivity towards nutritional security.

– Enhance returns per unit of area.

– Harness existing potential for horticulture sector.

Scope for production of some horticulture Crops in wasteland

• India has 12.86 m.ha of cultivable wasteland .

• Many horticultural crops have lesser demands for

inputs.

• 3 to 4 times more remunerative than Field crops

42

• Less than 2 % is being processed.

• Value addition in the food sector is as low as 7%.

• Horticultural processing needs a significant boost from its

present 2% to 10%.

• Direct employment for 7.7 million people and indirect

employment for 30.0 million.

Upgradation of Fruit & Vegetables Processing Units

43

• Enhance the efficiency of supply chain from farm gate to

retail outlets.

• Each park will Benefits • 6000 farmers ( directly)

• 25000 farmers( In directly)

• Each mega food park will generate about 40,000 direct and

indirect jobs

Improved market opportunities - Terminal Market / Mega Food park / Agi Export zone
