Horticulture is defined as the art and science of cultivating fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. In Himachal Pradesh which is a hill state of India, the prevailing agro-climatic conditions, terrain and socioeconomic variables are suitable for growing temperate to sub-tropical kind of fruits and vegetables. This has led to an increase in the area under horticulture from 36,795 hectares in 1974 to2,29202.hectares in 2017.There has been an upspring in the production of different kinds of horticulture crops in the state from 1,86,186 metric tonnes to more than 6,11,877 metric tonnes during the same period. This commercialization of horticultural crops has not only augmented the state’s economy, but also led to the socio-political and ecological transformation. Horticulture extension has sprung up the multitudinous problems associated with various horticulture operations such as cultivation, transportation, labour, packing, storage, marketing, fertilizers, pesticides, lack of technical know- how and storage etc. Although, such constraints hamper the scientific development of horticulture, but the pragmatic policies of the state government combined with their adoption by the progressive farmers have resulted in transformation of horticulture sector in the state. The present paper is an attempt to focus on the problems as well as the future prospects of horticulture in the state. The paper has been divided into four parts. Part I deals with general introduction, data and methodology. Part II will focus on the varied problems related to horticulture. The prospects of horticulture form the subject matter of part IIII. Part IV is devoted to conclusions and policy recommendations.
