摘要

India leads the world in horticulture production occupying second place in both fruit and vegetable production. Horticultural crops require less irrigation water with higher productivity compared to cereals leading to higher returns from marginal inputs. Besides, they are also suitable for intensive cropping. Further, the employment generated from horticultural enterprises is very high (upto 2510 man days/ha/annum). Horticultural crops are also known as protective foods providing vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants, providing nutritional security for the nation, besides economic security. Considering the high productivity of these crops the amount of calories produced per unit area is very high with the added advantage of holistic nutrition.In this context, an analysis has been made to evaluate the economic feasibility of horticulture crops to analyze whether it is profitable to the small and marginal landholders to shift towards horticultural crops. Benefit cost analysis of horticultural crops revealed that, for all horticultural crops, BC ratio is more than 1, indicating that for each rupee invested, the fanner can definitely get more than 1 rupee in return (and even more for certain horticultural crops) which indicates that it is economically feasible to shift to horticultural crops. If small and marginal fanners could bring their land under horticultural crops more particularly vegetaole crops the income levels can be improved leading to better standard of living. Cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants, starting nurseries and establishment of small scale processing units is more beneficial to small and marginal farmers. Encouraging cultivation of horticultural crops can change the economic, social and natural scenario of India.
