Lack of knowledge, initiative and use of new
varieties of crops and new technologies of
agriculture
Lack of awareness about seed and planting
materials of vegetable crops
Contd…….

• Decline of old apple orchards which have become
unproductive and uneconomic
• Loss of biodiversity of aromatic and medicinal
plants and other high value herbs
• Lack of processing facilities for fruits and
vegetables and plantation crops like tea and
coffee
• Unplanned deforestation for wood, fuel and fodder
leading to heavy soil erosion and water resources.
• Low milk yield of animals due to poor health, lack
of nutritious diet and shortage of fodder during
winter months.
Contd…….

• Lack of initiative for maintaining improved breeds
of animals, non-existent A-I centres, non-
availability of drugs and vaccines for sick animals
• Lack of market and processing facilities for
animal products
• Lack of improved farm implements and tools
• Performance of agricultural operations by ladies
who are already overloaded with other house jobs
viz. cooking, cleaning, child care and collection of
fuel and fodder
• Non-existent mandies to sell the agricultural
produce and prevalence of middlemen in all types
of trade
• Lack of credit and banking facilities.

Supply of superior quality of litchi planting material (> 1 lac
plants) for area expansion in the State.
Quantum jump in productivity of litchi from 1.2mt/ha in 1995-96
to 7.00 mt/ha in 2002-2003 as a result of effective transfer of
production technology.
Quality improvement of the crop - 200%
Development of post-harvest technology for increasing shelf
life of litchi fruits from 2 days to 25 days (sulphitation and acid
treatment)
Master Trainers Training to the officers and other technical
personnels of the State Department of Horticulture.
Research project on litchi, sponsored by APEDA is
progressing well in the departments of Horticulture and Food
Science and Technology.
