The area under horticulture in Maharashtra is likely to double soon if the
government gives the go-ahead. With an increasing demand for horticulture
crops coming from the market and farmers getting better returns, the
states department of horticulture has submitted a proposal to the
government seeking to raise the area under cultivation from 22,310
hectares to 50 000 hectares this year under the Employment Guarantee
Scheme, top officials of the directorate said.
.
The directorate has sought a grant of Rs 226.32 crore in the next three
years for this purpose under this scheme.
According to Dr Sudam Adsul, director, horticulture, the area under
horticulture has decreased in the last four years due to untimely rains
and hailstorms which caused severe damage to the crops.
.
According to experts, much higher investment is needed for even half acre
of horticulture business as compared with the requirement for a cash crop.
But the returns are equally high. Sugarcane is a major cash crop in the
state.
.
However farmers have had to struggle to get better rates for the produce.
Compared with it, horticultural crops such as fruits and flowers have
constant demand from consumers. Crops such as grapes have found their way
to export markets in Europe, Russia and other emerging markets including
Asia.
.
Therefore, there has been a shift to horticulture crops by farmers in
Maharashtra.
