Horticulture, comprising fruits and vegetables production in India, generated Rs 3,569 billion (US$48.47 billion) in 2019-20, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.55% between 2011-20 and 2019-20. Floriculture generated 273.5 billion rupees (US$3.71 billion) in 2019-20 and grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.84 percent during the same period.
