Major Challenges in Vegetable Farming

Vegetable production is crucial for sustainable agriculture in India, the second-largest producer after China. Despite a surplus, nutritional deficiencies persist due to a gap between actual and potential yields. Key constraints include limited knowledge of advanced farming techniques, stray animals, fragmented farms, market accessibility issues, inadequate storage, low prices, high transportation costs, and insufficient irrigation. High chemical costs and climate sensitivity also affect yields. Empowering farmers with knowledge and market information can enhance productivity and income at the household level.
