| Abstract: |
Horticulture is an important componellt of Nepalese agriculture contributing signijicamly to
nutrition, food security, economy and Livelihoods of the people. In addition, this sector has
provided employment and business opportrm"ities to various cliellfs and raw materials to
agro-based industries. Horticulture sector currelltly contributes nearly 31% to AGDP.
Despite initiatives on horticulture development started as early as 1940s in Nepal, research
on fruits and vegetables on a systematic manner began only after 1970s. Focused research
on priority issues in a coordinated manner took off only after creation of autonomous NARC
in 1991. Diverse agro-ecology provides highly conducive environmellts for range of fruits,
vegetables and other horticultural crops in Nepal. Tflis has endowed with a rich wealth of
genetic resources of horticultural crops in Nepal. The APP and Tenth Five Year Plan have
explicitly indicated to strengthen fruits and vegetables research and development including ·
supply . of inputs, credits, marketing and processing componellfs to enhairce their
commercialization. Recent research have contributed to develop improved varieties and
production technologies, that have shown impacts on production and income at the farm
level in crops like tomato, cucumber, cauliflower, cabbage, potato, citnTs, banana, and
others. Necessary strategic reforms and supports to strengthen research capability to
address priority demand driven issues and options, developing necessary polices and
marketing supports, and enhancing collaboration and linkage with stakeholders for efficient
and effective outputs delivery have been suggested to address new challenges and
opportunities in h011iculture. |
