India is one of the major fruit producing countries of the world, there is a great opportunity to increase and improve the production of tropical, subtropical, and temperate fruits. Rural women play significant role in fruit production activities. Unfortunately their access to knowledge, technology, finance, information, and training is minimal which hampers productivity of fruit crops. Adequate awareness programmes should be organized on benefits of fruit crops at the local level to encourage women’s participation. The participation of women in fruit production activities can be enhanced through development of low cost technologies. Various government agencies including research organizations and state departments are addressing these issues through technological and policy interventions. Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India has started National Agricultural Technological Project and Technology Mission of Horticulture, National Agricultural Innovation Project (NAIP) at national level for women empowerment through various activities like development of nursery, value addition, processing and marketing of fruit crops.
