Production and exports during pre and post-National Horticulture Mission in India

India stands second after China in the production of fruits comprising a 9.57% share of the production of fruits to the world followed by Brazil, the USA, and Mexico. Change in production trends and export scenarios in pre and post-NHM was analyzed. Results highlighted that there was an increase in production trends of total fruits in the pre and post NHM period. This initiative acted as a table-turner in terms of an increase in the yield of the fruits. This led to an increase in the yield of mangoes, mangosteens, and guavas. It had played an important role in increasing the export in terms of quantity and value of fresh as well as processed fruits.
