| What sector does horticulture significantly contribute to in the State? | the primary sector of the State | 1. Preface Horticulture contributes much for the growth of Agriculture, the primary sector of the State. The growth of horticulture has expanded rural employment opportunities, increased income and enabled better livelihoods to farmers. The agro-climatic diversity of the State supports a wide variety of tropical, sub-tropical and temperate horticultural crops. Horticulture crops are cultivated in an area of about 10.26 lakh Ha (2009-2010) with a total production of 174.01 lakh MT. Much focus will be on expanding the area under horticulture crops and increasing their productivity by using hybrids, pedigree planting materials and advanced crop cultivation technologies. Intensive and focused extension will be taken up to enable farmers to adopt these advanced technologies. Area under horticulture crops will be increased by converting current and permanent fallows. | 72 | relationship | 0.970 | Preface Horticulture contributes much for the growth of Agriculture, the primary sector of the State. | 1 | page=1,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |
