Horticulture in Dhemaji

Area, production and productivity of important horticultural crops


Although large numbers of horticultural crops are cultivated on riverbanks and on foothills of the district but more important crops from the point of view of acreage are Banana, Arecanut, Potato and Rabi vegetables. Diversity in cultivation of horticultural crops has become possible due to presence of various types of soils and abundant rainfall. Most of the fruit crops and vegetables are cultivated in upland areas and homestead gardens. The area under important horticultural crops of district has been increased significantly over the last 35 years while the productivity has remained more or less static with some exceptions.
