Our country has achieved self-sufficiency and a good degree of stability in food production. This has created an urgent need for providing health security to our population by supplying nutrition through balanced diet. Vegetables form the most important component of a balanced diet. We can grow a variety of vegetables around the year. Consumer’s preferences have also shifted away from cereals and moved towards high-value agricultural produce like vegetables. With increase in economic standards, urbanization of growing Indian villages, international market integration and trade liberalization, the demand for horticultural products is expected to increase even further. On the production side, if cereal pricing is left to market forces, land will be released from traditional cultivation to meet the growing demand for non-cereal crops such as oilseeds, fruits and vegetables in accordance with the diversification in consumption pattern (Mittal, 2006). Thus, in a holistic way, horticulture can be promoted as a means of agro-diversification for the second green revolution, providing the much needed impetus to the growth of agricultural sector, through increase in trade, income and employment. Presently, Indian agriculture is diversifying into the production of high value commodities, also providing an increasing role to small holding farmers. Indian rural economy had been facing the challenge of inability to manage the problems involved with transition of agriculture from a supply-driven value chain to a demand-led market-oriented supply chain (Viswanadham, 2006).
