increased production and productivity as well as ensures supply of

vegetables to the consumers at reasonable rates throughout the year.

soil type, season & climatic conditions and cultivation in colonies

staggered sowing which will avoid market glut, the farmers can also

get better prices for their vegetable produce and at the same time

consumers can get vegetables at affordable prices.

vill.), Manchal (12 vill.) & Yacharam (14 vill.).

• An amount of Rs. 14.12 crores (including State plan, MIDH and MIP schemes)

were spent in Ibrahimpatnam crop colony.

• After implementation of crop colony in Ibrahimpatnam constituency, vegetable

production from 3562 acres (2780 farmers) is increased from 44,000 MT to

83,000 MT due the department interventions of Seedlings, Pandals, Mulching,

Micro Irrigation & Plastic Crates.

• Keeping the success of Ibrahimpatnam crop colony in view, it is proposed to

expand the crop colony approach to all districts in future.

• Accordingly, the Department of Horticulture has worked out the demand,

availability, gap / surplus in respect of fruits, vegetables and spices duly taking

the food consumption survey done by the PJTSAU in to consideration.

• Telangana State is deficit in production of Vegetables like Bhendi, Greenchilli,

Gourds, Beans, Capsicum, Potato, Colacasia, Yam, Leafy vegetables & Onion.
