1. Horticultural Statics in India Prepared by:- Abhishek(SU13139)

2. Horticulture – India India is endowed with a remarkably heterogeneous area characterized by a great diversity of agro climatic zones, allowing for production of a variety of horticultural crops such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, spices, plantation crops, root and tuber crops, and medicinal and aromatic crops. India is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world. Horticulture exports has helped the country to earn Rs 14,000 crore in 2013-14.

3. Snapshot of Horticulture Horticulture accounts for 30% of India’s agricultural GDP from 8.5% of the cropped area. India’s major exports include onion, mango pulp, fresh mangoes, dried walnuts, fresh grapes. India’s biggest export markets are South Asian & Middle east Countries. India’s share in the global market is insignificant – it accounts for 1.7% of the global trade in vegetables and 0.5% in fruits

4. Fruits & Vegetables: Botanical and Popular Botanically, a fruit is the ripened ovary wall. The ovary is part of the carpel, the innermost whorl of a flower, the female reproductive structure. The ovary contains the ovules, the haploid equivalent to mammalian eggs. Some fruits also contain parts of the flower base. Botanical fruits can be classified as fleshy, dry dehiscent, and dry indehiscent. Most of what are popularly called fruits are fleshy fruits. The generally understood common definition of a fruit is sweet and aromatic fleshy plant products that are mainly eaten as dessert or a first course in a meal, and not as the main meal. Thus, many fleshy fruits (in a botanical sense), such as tomato and cucumber, are considered vegetables in popular culture. In botany, a vegetable is simply any plant or plant part. In the common definition, vegetables are plant products eaten with the main course. In taste, they are salty or sour or savory, but not sweet. Some vegetables are botanical fruits: tomatoes and cucumbers for example. Others are plant stems, leaves, and roots.

33. Suggestions Better seeds can increase the yield by 40%. Balanced fertilizer usage is equally critically. Irrigation can increase incomes. Credit and land holding are critical from economic point of view. Improve profitability of farmers. Fix wage rates. Contract farming can raise profitability. Promote the use of bio-fuels. Prepare a perspective plan for treating degraded lands.
