Fruits and vegetables: production trends and role of linkages.

Trends in the production and consumption of fruits and vegetables in India are examined for the period 1960/61-1992/93. The importance of different credit and non-credit linkages for promotion of the fruit and vegetable sector and the various linkages that facilitate/constrain the performance of the sector are also examined. The study highlights a rising demand for fruits and vegetables, both for domestic consumption and exports. However, the sector is constrained by inadequate infrastructural facilities (processing facilities, market facilities, credit). Efficient postharvest handling of the produce through better infrastructural facilities and exploiting the available production potential are some of the measures suggested to promote this sector.
