Horticulture is the fastest growing sector within Indian agriculture. There has been a
perceptible change in the consumption pattern characterized by declining share of food grains
and increasing share of non-food grain items in the consumption baskets particularly fruits and
vegetables. Consequently, horticulture is set to assume a greater role and importance within the
agriculture sector and eventually in the national economy. However, there is a serious problem
concerning reliability of horticulture data which is one of the most critical requirements to facilitate
systematic policy analysis and planning exercise. Multiple agencies are involved in producing
horticultural data that often varies. This may perhaps be due to the complexities and
methodologies of data collection in horticultural crops. It is not just the basic data like area,
production or productivity but the whole gamut of related data like storage infrastructure, market
arrivals, prices, exports etc is required to be collected and compiled to develop integrated data
base which is extremely important in the present era of globalization and integration of markets.
An attempt has been made in this bulletin to compile available statistics on vegetables grown
in India and other countries in order to provide all information at one place. In addition to the
latest available statistics on major vegetable crops from different sources, general information on
Indian economy, agriculture and key indicators has also been included. The bulletin has been
divided into 5 sections namely an overview, general information on Indian economy & agriculture,
horticultural scenario, vegetable statistics at a glance and crop-wise vegetable statistics. We believe
that the information compiled and presented in this bulletin could be of immense interest and
use to various stakeholders.
Information obtained/compiled from various organizations and sources is duly acknowledged.
We express our sincere thanks to Dr. V. K. Bhatia, Director, IASRI, New Delhi for sharing the
available data and his valuable guidance.
