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.

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

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.
