History

Historical Context

India’s National Horticulture Mission, launched in 2005-06 under the 10th Five-Year Plan, allocated 85 % central funding to boost fruit, vegetable and spice production. The 2006 Indo-Israeli Agriculture Project built on this scheme, creating 26 Centres of Excellence by 2017 to transfer Israeli irrigation and post-harvest technologies. Today the proposed Global Horticulture Hub expands that model with AI and drones for Rayalaseema farmers.
