Abstract
Horticulture undoubtedly has flourished as a vibrant sub-sector of agriculture and incorporates a brilliant potential to expand its footprints in Jammu and Kashmir. The present study is concerned with the horticulture development in Kashmir Valley and focuses on the determents which influence the horticulture sector in the study area. The secondary sources of data have been brought into use to carry out this assessment. Horticulture forms the major chunk of the economy for the horticulturists of the study area, hence the analysis of its spatial variations in the efficiency and concentration has a tremendous scope. To determine the district wise differences in horticulture efficiency, Bhatia’s method was applied where concentration was worked out through the Location Quotient Method. The output obtained showed a significant variation across the length and breadth of the study area. The results have revealed that efficiency of horticulture has varied from the maximum of 913.35 in Budgam to as low as 66.10 in Bandipora. Further, the concentration of horticulture was more or less uniformly distributed in the Kashmir Valley except for few districts of the central part of the study area.
