Abstract
There Is Immense Potential For Vertical And Horizontal Growth In Horticulture Sector In The Region. At Present Horticultural Crops Account for Only 18.60% of Cultivated Area. This Share Is Highest In Sikkim Followed By Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram, Assam And Nagaland. There Is Need To Expand Area Under Horticultural Crops Particularly In Assam, Mizoram And Nagaland Where At Present It Is Less Than 20% of The Cultivated Area. In Terms Of Its Contribution To The National Production, The Region Accounts For About 5.1% Fruits And 4.5% For Vegetables.
