Crop wise, season wise vegetable areas District wise, season wise vegetable areas ➢ About 20+ vegetables are being consumed in Telangana state. Out of which, top 10 vegetables being consumed are Tomato, Onion, Greenchilli, Bhendi, Potato, Leafy vegetables, Ridge Gourd, Brinjal, Bitter Gourd & Beans. ➢ Telangana State is Surplus in production of vegetables like Tomato, Brinjal, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Cucumber, Carrot & Radish. Surplus production is to be converted in to value added products like pickles, sauce, ketchup etc. ➢ Similarly, Telangana State is Deficit in production of Vegetables like Bhendi, Greenchilli, Gourds, Beans, Capsicum, Potato, Colacasia, Yam, Leafy vegetables & Onion. 6 Challenges in Vegetable Sector – Telangana State • Un-favourable conditions particularly during summer season i.e., high temperature and depletion of ground water. • Low productivity due to non adoption of advanced technologies viz., Micro irrigation, Fertigation, Mulching, Shadenet, INM, IPM etc. • High cost Intensive due more labour demand for various operations i.e., weeding, harvesting, sorting & grading etc. • High post harvest losses due to more perishable nature. • Lack of regulated markets & inadequate market linkages • Frequent price fluctuations. • Lack vegetable farmers federations. 9 Consumption Pattern of vegetables in Telangana State ➢ More than 20 vegetables are being consumed in Telangana state. ➢ As per PJTSAU survey, the per capita consumption of vegetables (including onion) is 250 gms per day, as against ICMR recommendation of 325 gms per day. ➢ Thus Telangana state population is consuming 75 gms less vegetables when compared to recommended diet.

As per the present consumption pattern of PJTSAU, overall the telangana state is surplus in production of vegetables by 1.14 Lakh MTs. If we examine closely, the Telangana State is surplus in production of certain vegetables like 1.Tomato, 2.Brinjal, 3.Cabbage, 4.Cauliflower, 5.Cucumber, 6.Carrot & 7.Raddish and deficit in production of Vegetables like 1.Bhendi, 2.Greenchilli, 3.Gourds, 4.Beans, 5.Capsicum, 6.Potato, 7.Colacasia, 8.Yam, 9.Leafy vegetables & 10.Onion. 11 • Telangana State is Surplus in production of following Vegetables Average Required Monthly per quantity for Present Area Present Surplus Name of the Capita the net under annual S.
