OVERVIEW - HORTICULTURE
•
•
•
•
•
A Prominent Segment under Agriculture Sector and the
fastest growing sector
Considerable attention in the 11th Five Year Plan
All States / UT covered under Two special Horticulture
programmes of NHM and HMNEH
Mission programme (NHM) in operation in 344 districts
out of 476 districts of 18 States and UTs, Andaman &
Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep (initially in 227 districts)
Horticulture projects are capital intensive, have higher
gestation period, need costly inputs including higher
technology and efficient value change management.

HORTICULTURE – ADVANTAGE 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 2011-12.

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

WHAT ARE THE CONSTRAINTS?
• LIMITATIONS IN THE EXISTING DATA
– MULTIPLE AGENCIES COLLECTING AND COMPILING DATADIFFERENT METHODOLOGY AND COVERAGE
– FREQUENT DATA REVISION
– TIME LAG IN DATA AVAILABILITY. STATES ARE NOT
ADHERING TO TIME SCHEDULE FOR SENDING THE DATA
– DATA INCONSISTENCIES
– EVEN THE METHODOLOGY ADOPTED BY VARIOUS STATE
HORTICULTURE DEPARTMENTS VARY FROM STATE TO
STATE.
– DATA FOR CROPS EXCLUSIVELY GROWN IN A STATE, NOT
BEING REPORTED BY THE STATE.
D/o Agriculture & Cooperation, GOI
20
WHAT ARE THE CONSTRAINTS?
• LACK OF EFFECTIVE INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISM
– ABSENCE OF PROPER SYSTEMATIC UNITS FOR
COLLECTION / COMPILATION OF HORTICULTURE DATA
– INEFFECTIVE DATA VALIDATION MECHANISM
– NODAL AGENCY NOT OVERSEEING THE ENTIRE SET OF
HORTICULTURE CROPS AND ABSENCE OF COORDINATION
WITH OTHER AGENCIES
– INADEQUATE
USE
OF
MODERN
INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY TO PROCESS AND ORGANIZE DATA
D/o Agriculture & Cooperation, GOI
21
WHAT ARE THE CONSTRAINTS?
• DATA GAPS
– LACK OF AUTHENTIC BASE LINE DATA FOR ALL STATES
(DISTRICT LEVEL).
– DATA ON EMPLOYMENT POTENTIAL (DIRECT/INDIRECT).
– PRODUCTIVITY PROFILE (CROP/REGION/DISTRICT WISE).
– DATA ON COST OF CULTIVATION/ECONOMY OF FARMING OF
DIFFERENT HORTICULTURAL CROPS.
– PRODUCTION – HOW MUCH FLOW TO THE MARKET AND
FARMER’S OWN CONSUMPTION SHARE .
– POST HARVEST LOSSES AND WASTAGES IN THE TRANSIT
– NO OPERATIONAL MANUAL FOR FIELD STAFF

WAY FORWARD AND PLAN OF ACTION
1. COORDINATION BETWEEN STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
HORTICULTURE AND DIRECTORATE OF ECONOMICS & STATISTICS
NEED TO BE STRENGTHENED TO GENERATE RELIABLE
HORTICULTURE STATISTICS.
2. STRENGTHEN
THE
LOWEST
FUNCTIONARY
REPORTING
HORTICULTURE DATA FROM THE SELECTED VILLAGES/ TEHSILS.
3. DESIGNATE NODAL OFFICER IN EACH STATE TO VALIDATE,
COORDINATE AND SUPPLY DATA. ENVISAGE DATA CONSORTIUM
TO CHECK INTERNAL DATA VARIATION AND INCONSISTENCY.
4. FOR FACILITATING SMOOTH COLLECTION, COORDINATION AND
DISSEMINATION OF HORTICULTURE DATA FROM DISTRICT LEVEL
TO CENTRE, STATE DEPARTMENTS NEED TO DEVELOP A STATE
HORTICULTURE INFORMATION SYSTEM (HIS).
D/o Agriculture & Cooperation, GOI
23
WAY FORWARD AND PLAN OF ACTION
5. BESIDES THE BASIC DATA FOR AREA AND PRODUCTION, THRUST
SHOULD ALSO BE ON TIMELY AVAILABILITY OF THE RELATED
DATA LIKE STORAGE, MARKET ARRIVALS, PRICES, EXPORTS ETC.
6. CONDUCT/ORGANIZE
HORTICULTURE
CREATE/UPDATE BASE-LINE (DISTRICT) DATA.
CENSUS
TO
7. EXTEND CROP CUTTING EXPERIMENTS TO COVER ALL IMPORTANT
HORTICULTURE CROPS.
8. PREPARATION OF GUIDELINES / MANUALS FOR COLLECTION OF
DATA FOR VARIOUS CROPS.
9. FOR

10. IN THIS CONNECTION, AN ALTERNATIVE METHODOLOGY HAVE
BEEN DEVELOPED BY IASRI.
D/o Agriculture & Cooperation, GOI 24
Alternative Methodology
AN ALTERNATIVE METHODOLOGY HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED BY
IASRI TAKING INTO ACCOUNT INFORMATION FLOWING FROM ALL
SOURCES INCLUDING MARKET ARRIVALS, EXPORTS AND
GROWERS ASSOCIATIONS.
THE METHODOLOGY NEEDS TO BE PILOTED IN FIVE STATES
NAMELY,
ANDHRA
PRADESH,
MAHARASHTRA,
HIMACHAL
PRADESH, UTTAR PRADESH AND KARNATAKA BEFORE EXTENDING
TO THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
THE BROAD OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY INCLUDED:
•
•
•
TO TEST THE DEVELOPED ALTERNATIVE METHODOLOGY FOR
ESTIMATION OF ACREAGE UNDER EACH MAJOR FRUIT AND VEGETABLE
CROPS
TO TEST THE DEVELOPED ALTERNATIVE METHODOLOGY FOR
ESTIMATION OF YIELD RATES AND TOTAL PRODUCTION OF MAJOR FRUIT
AND VEGETABLE CROPS GROWN IN THE STATE
TO ESTIMATE AREA AND PRODUCTION OF MAJOR FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES USING REMOTE SENSING –GIS AND FIELD SURVEY.
25
Alternative Methodology
THE IASRI PROPOSAL FOR THE ALTERNATIVE
METHODOLOGY HAS FINANCIAL IMPLICATION OF RS.
6.50 CRORE.
FOR THE BETTERMENT OF HORTICULTURE
STATISTICS, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY.
CAN THE STATES COME UP WITH SOME WAY OUT
FOR FUNDING THIS ENDEAVOUR?
