State/region and its diverse agro-climatic features;

a) Promote holistic growth of horticulture sector, including bamboo and coconut through area based

b) Encourage aggregation of farmers into farmer groups like FIGs/FPOs and FPCs to bring economy of scale

c) Enhance horticulture production, augment farmers, income and strengthen nutritional security;
d)
Micro Irrigation.
e) Support skill development and create employment generation opportunities for rural youth in horticulture

Improve productivity by way of quality germplasm, planting material and water use efficiency through

and post harvest management, especially in the cold chain sector.
