Meghalaya has three factors conducive for the development of horticulture – a large extent of land suitable only for horticultural crops, diversity in agro-climatic factors making a variety of fruits, spices and plantation crops feasible and established tradition of growing horticultural crops making further expansion easy. Net area sown is only 2.83 lakh hectares forming 12.7 per cent of the geographical area and 7.69 lakh hectares is available in the form of fallows, cultivable waste and miscellaneous tree crops. Most of this land is in the hill slopes and is more suitable for plantation and fruit crops rather than traditional agricultural crops. The State has a great diversity of agro-climatic factors. The average annual rainfall is high at 12000 mm and elevation varies from 150 m to 2000 m mean sea level. As a result, temperature varies from 2 0 to 36 0 Celsius. With this diversity, a variety of horticultural crops can be grown. Given the tremendous potential for the development of horticulture to generate income and employment for the farming community, a much more intensive, focused and holistic strategy, coupled with major investments, is needed. The Mission will take up the task of conceptualizing, designing and executing projects in a systematic and focused manner. Mand for silk is showing an increasing trend; so also the price of silk.
