The National Horticulture Mission (NHM) covers a wide range of horticultural crops to promote holistic growth of the sector through area-based, regionally differentiated strategies. The crops included under NHM primarily encompass fruits like mango, banana, citrus, apple, guava, and pineapple; vegetables such as tomato, onion, brinjal, and okra; and spices including turmeric, ginger, garlic, and pepper. Additionally, plantation crops like coconut and cashew, flowers like rose, marigold, and gerbera, and aromatic and medicinal plants are also supported. The mission provides assistance for activities like production and distribution of planting material, establishment of nurseries, creation of water resources, protected cultivation, post-harvest management, and marketing infrastructure to boost productivity and farmers’ income.
