The correct answer is: All of the above<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Arunachal Pradesh is a landlocked state in the north-eastern region of India. It is the largest state in the country by area, but it has a very low population density. The state is characterized by its mountainous terrain, which makes it difficult to cultivate land. In addition, the state has a short growing season, which limits the types of crops that can be grown.<\/p>\n

The lack of land availability and the short growing season are two of the main challenges faced by horticulture in Arunachal Pradesh. These challenges are compounded by the lack of post-harvest infrastructure and inadequate market access. The state does not have a well-developed infrastructure for storing, processing, and transporting fruits and vegetables. This makes it difficult for farmers to get a good price for their produce. In addition, the state is located far from major markets, which makes it difficult to transport fruits and vegetables to consumers.<\/p>\n

As a result of these challenges, horticulture is not a major contributor to the state’s economy. The state government has taken some steps to address these challenges, but more needs to be done to support the development of the horticulture sector.<\/p>\n
