The hilly areas constitute undulated terrains with a variety of agro-climatic conditions, low population density, very low per capita availability of land and practical difficulties in intensive cropping. For economic upliftment of the rural hilly community and environmental restoration, proper land use planning has to be done with different horticultural and plantation crops. Cultivation in these regions is carried out in fragmented and terrace fields. The farming system i.e. agriculture as well as horticulture is mainly dependent on composition of the soil, position of the field, slope aspects, presence/ absence of irrigation, density of the population and their literacy rates etc. In order to boost up the horticulture sector central and state governments are working through introduction of Horticulture Mission for North East and Himalayan (HMNEH) States is a part of Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) scheme, being implemented for overall development of Horticulture in NE and Himalayan states. A complete package of supply coupled with marketing and processing facilities should be made available at subsidized prices to the farmers in the hilly areas. Crop diversification should be targeted with special emphasis on high value crops such as vegetables, vegetable seeds, orchids, spices and mushrooms with adequate marketing facilities.
