Quality of fruit is important in export marketing. Quality of fruit depends upon pre and post-harvest technologies used by the farmers. Poor agronomic practices deteriorate fruit quality. Quality can never be improved after harvest. Quality of fruit starts from farmer's planning of pre-harvest practices to that of post-harvest treatments which ends at the consumer level. In pre-harvest practices, selection of seed of exporting variety (propagation) and soil selection is important, and then planting, spacing, irrigation, fertilizer, nutrition, crop protection, pruning, flowering and supervision activities are essentially deal with it. In almost every aspects of pre-harvest technology, lot of science, beginning from land preparation to crop harvesting is involved. All of this must be balanced by a good return from the marketing processes and this can only be achieved by careful production, planning and crop management.

Among the Horticultural Crops, Fruits and Vegetables (FV) are of primary - portance as the key source of essential components in an adequate and balanced human diet. FV have supported largely the daily food requirement of mankind since ages and even before man learned to grow cereal crops systematically. Over the years, growing FV has been the mainstay of rural economy and has emerged as an indispensable part of agriculture world over, offering farmers a wide range of crops in varied topography and climate. In certain parts of the world, FV are the major dietary staple. Apart from being a rich source of vitamins and minerals, this sector also contributes significantly in economy of the region or the nation. The increased income from per unit area of FV is far ahead and can not be compared with that of cereal crops. A recent survey by the Economist revealed that the world population has - creased by 90 % in the past 40 years while food production has increased only by 25 % per head. With an additional 1. 5 billion mouth to feed by 2020, farmers worldwide have to produce 39 % more. Looking at the load of the future food requirement, the global increased production of FV during last few years has absorbed the additional food requirement and accordingly the eating habits are also changing and shifting - wards more consumption of these commodities worldwide.
