Himachal Pradesh Sub-Tropical Horticulture, Irrigation and Value Addition

Welcome to HPSHIVA

Himachal Pradesh is one of the smaller states in India being 17th in terms of size and 21st in terms of population. Around 50% of its area is mountains and less than 10% area is under cultivation. More than 90% of the population resides in rural area and about 62% of population is engaged in agriculture activities. The total contribution of agriculture-horticulture sector to state’s gross value is less than 15%.

Himachal Pradesh Subtropical Horticulture, Irrigation & Value Addition (HPSHIVA) project, financed by the Government of Himachal Pradesh and Asian Development Bank, has been conceived to harness the potential of horticulture in the subtropical climate area of the state. The migration of youth population, abandoning of agricultural activities, inefficient utilization of irrigation potential and need for crop diversification (Apple alone comprises 79% of state’s fruit production) has necessitated a project like HPSHIVA.
