Future Fruit Crops

What are Future Fruit Crops?

Future Fruit Crops are climate-resilient, high-value horticultural crops expected to gain importance due to changing consumer preferences, nutritional awareness, and adaptability to marginal lands. These include crops like dragon fruit, avocado, fig, jackfruit, jamun, and others.

Why Promote These Crops?

These crops require less water, adapt well to degraded or marginal soils, and have growing demand in both domestic and export markets. They support sustainable livelihoods, especially in dryland regions.

Climate Resilience

These crops withstand heat, drought, and low fertility soils, making them ideal for climate-smart agriculture.

Market Demand & Profitability

With rising health awareness and export potential, these crops offer high returns for farmers with low maintenance.

Sustainable Land Use

They can be cultivated in degraded, hilly, or marginal lands, turning unproductive areas into income-generating orchards.
