Description During the last several years diversification of agriculture in India towards high value
commodities, i e, fruits, vegetables and livestock products, has been proceeding at a fast
pace and is reflected in the high share of HVCs in agricultural production in a number of
districts. This paper builds on the hypothesis that access to markets, defined in terms of
demand for HVCs and the factors facilitating their transport from production sites to
consumption centres, is critical to their growth. The analysis thus brings out regional
variations in HVCs across the country that have implications for regional agricultural
planning and consequently for public and private sector investment strategies.
