The horticulture sector pondered as the most dynamic and sustainable segment of agriculture, which covers wide spectrum of crops (fruits, vegetables, flowers, spices, condiments, plantations etc.). Inclusion of some important and fast upcoming groups like medicinal and aromatic plants, mushroom, bamboo, and bee keeping has further reinforced sustainability to this sector. Shifting food pattern in wake of increasing income and health awareness of the populace has transformed Indian Horticulture as a vibrant commercial venture with 5-6 percent annual growth rate during last decade.
