Abstract

The comparative performance of vegetables and fruits during pre (1991-92 to 2005-06) and post (2006-07 to 2018-19) National Horticultural Mission (NHM) based on secondary data was assessed. The study revealed that the growth rates of area and production of vegetables increased during the post-NHM period, but the productivity marginally declined during the post-NHM. The growth rate of area under fruits during pre-NHM was comparatively more than the post-NHM period. However, the growth rate of production and productivity of fruits was recorded comparatively more during the post-NHM period. It was further revealed that the area, production and productivity of both the crop groups were more stable during the post-NHM period. Further, analysis of all the macro indicators showed significantly rising trends revealing a positive impact of NHM.
