The
northeastern region of India comprises eight states
namely Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya,
Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim. The region
lies between 21o57’ and 29o28’ north
latitude and 89o40’ to 97o50’ east
longitude. The total geographical area of the region
is 2.55 lakh km2, which is about 8% of the country’s
total area. The physiography of the region is divided
into three divisions namely Meghalaya plateau,
the northeastern hills and the Brahmaputra valley.
The NE hills alone accounts for 65% of the total
land area while the Brahmaputra valley and the
Meghalaya Plateau cover 22% and 13% of the area
respectively. The region offers scope for cultivation
of a wide variety of horticultural crops such as
fruits, vegetables, flowers, tuber and rhizomatous
crops and spices because of its diversities in
topography, altitude and climatic conditions.
