Abstract

Horticulture has emerged as an indispensable part of agriculture providing a wide range of choices to the farmers for crop production and nutrition to the people. Horticulture include fruits, vegetables, flowers and spices which have grown steadily. Our Indian climate favors production of a range of horticultural crops. Despite a significant growth, the productivity of fruits and vegetables in India is very high. Application of advanced technologies, farm mechanization and stakeholders are the reasons to improve productivity. Horticultural production is relatively easy and it can play an important role in food security initiatives by providing work and income opportunities.
