The production of vegetables increased by 3% to 150.59 million tonnes and that of fruits is marginally up by 1% at 75.27 million tonnes in 2011-12 fiscal. Minister of State for Agriculture Harish Rawat reported in the Parliament that the country had produced 146.55 million tonnes of vegetables and 74.88 million tonnes of fruits in the 2010-11 fiscal.
The prices of fruits and vegetables are governed by the market forces of demand and supply. The prices mainly depend upon the prevailing weather conditions, transportation cost, storage and rising demand due to increasing income and urbanization.
The minister said that the government has been implementing the Horticulture Mission for North East and Himalayan states (HMNEH) and National Horticulture Mission (NHM) in the remaining states to improve production of horticulture crops including fruits and vegetables. These missions assistance will provide for establishing nurseries, seed production for vegetables and enhancing quality production.
