Horticulture includes the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, potato and tuber crops, ornamental, medicinal and aromatic crops, spices and plantation crops. Today horticulture in the country is more vibrant and dynamic sector than ever before. It contributes nearly 30 percent of the agricultural GDP. And the state of Bihar is one of the largest producers of fruits and vegetables in the country. Horticulture, mainly fruits and vegetables play an important role in the economy of Bihar. Despite their utility, the cultivation, consumption and marketing aspects of fruits and vegetables are generally neglected. This is mainly due to severe handicaps associated with the production and marketing of fruits and vegetables. The cultivation of fruits and vegetables in the district is distorted by many factors like low yield and poor quality. This paper is an attempt to highlight the challenges and problems for horticulture in Bihar.
