ABSTRACT:

Bihar has emerged as unimportant centre for horticultural production in the country. Nevertheless, produce from Bihar is not a dominant part of India’s trade horticultural trade basket. The article examines the issues relating to export of major horticultural products of Bihar using information collected through sample survey conducted in Muzaffarpur district of Bihar. It is seen that farmers are inclined to take up horticulture given the high returns in a smaller time-frame. However a umber of infrastructural and logistical constraints prevent realisation of large returns. The article examines some of these issues using information collected from secondary sources like newspaper articles, journals and government reports as well as information collected during author’s research.
