However we are short in supplying the required quantity of fruits as per dietary recommendation for our increasing population. The major reason for non availability of required quantity of fruits is lack of sufficient production from the existing area under cultivation and post harvest management in different fruit crops. The possible solution to mitigate the shortfall could be either increase in productivity with improved management practices and varieties of existing crops and post harvest handling techniques or increase in area under fruit production. In the present book the information pertaining to importance and uses taxonomy plant genetic resources and varieties plant propagation and nursery management production technologies and processing and value addition techniques of 27 such lesser known tropical and subtropical fruits of the country has been compiled.
