National Horticulture Mission

1. National Horticulture Mission Micro Irrigation Project National Mission on Bamboo

2. Horticulture contributes 28.5% of GDP in agriculture and 52% of export share in agriculture from cultivated area of 8.5% Varying agroclimatic conditions permit cultivation of all types of crops found world over Fairly good research infrastructure available through ICAR NRC’s, SAUs, CSIR Seasonal advantage for export to temperate countries Largest producer of banana, mango and cabbage Highest productivity in grapes, sapota and banana Largest producer and consumer of cashew and spices Increasing role of private sector in research, seed production, PHM & microirrigation equipments, processing and exports Indian Horticulture-Strengths

6. Export of Horticultural Commodities Annual growth rate in horticultural exports: 12% in quantity and 34% in value Source: APEDA

7. Trends in Fruit & Vegetables Processing • Only 46.04 % processing capacity is being utilized • 0.80% of horticultural produce is being processed Source: Annual Report 2003-04, MFPI

8. Large area under old/ senile plantations Poor quality of seeds/ planting material and low rate of replacement of seeds/ cultivars Lack of irrigation Economy of scales lacking Inadequate storage and cold chain Inadequate research, extension and credit support High wastages of the produce (8-37%) Only 0.8% of produce is processed Inadequate processing and marketing infrastructure Inadequate institutional support particularly in NE and other hilly region Problem Areas

9. Inadequate safety standards, infrastructure for quality check and enforcement mechanism Weak database Ill equipped implementing machinery in States Poor HRD infrastructure Little hedge against uncertainty/ risks Problem Areas- contd..

10. Need for Mission Approach • Coordinated end to end approach • Resolving inter sectoral issues for addressing problem areas and promoting multi- dimensional reforms- research, production, processing, marketing and institutional framework • Time bound accomplishment with a sense of urgency • Mission Statement: To double horticultural production to 300 million tonnes by the end of 2011-12 from the level of 152 million tonnes in 2000-01

11. Mission Strategy • Improve production • Post harvest management • Processing & value addition • Marketing • Export

12. Production Strategies- to Improve productivity and acreage • Research & extension: inputs/ farming systems/ technologies • Promotional as well as Commercial production for selected crops on cluster basis – project-based approach • Micro irrigation for improved water use efficiency • Strengthening delivery mechanism for seeds / planting material / nutrients/pesticides • Establishment of TC units/plant health clinics • Hi-tech farming/precision farming

13. Production Strategies- to Improve productivity and acreage Acreage Improvement Strategy: • New gardens through development of wasteland / utilization of bunds / diversification from other crops • Special thrust on Hill/ Island areas and peri-urban areas • Appropriate inter-cropping • Organic farming, contract farming • Farmers’ HRD through institutional training/farm visits • Appropriate media support/experts’ visit to farmers’ field • Subsidy and credit

14. Strategies- to ImprovePHM • Organize farmers’ groups, cooperatives models including NDDB model,self-help groups, producer companies and other associations • Provide for collection centres and transportation to local markets • Provide for a network of cold chain storages/reefer vans all over the country in cooperative/private/ public sector Strategies- to ImproveMarketing • Reduce gap between farmers’ share in consumers' price • 7307 markets regulated by APMCs • NDDB Bangalore model (transparency, cold chains, linkage with farmers) • Provide infrastructure for local markets,help set up NDDB type markets

15. Strategies- to ImproveProcessing • Processing capacity and distribution network to be strengthened • Primary Processing facilities to be set up in production clusters • Technology up gradation/ research to be promoted

16. Strategies- to Improve Export promotion • Ongoing export promotion programme to be strengthened • Marketing Intelligence to be streamlined • Marketing research to be strengthened • Standard development, testing facilities and enforcement mechanism required • Training of farmers/ entrepreneurs
