Horticulture sector plays a prominent role in economic growth for most of the developing countries. India is the largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world next only to China. Among the horticultural crops, fruit crops are cultivated in majority of the area. Fruit crops play a significant role in the economic development, nutritional security, employment generation, and overall growth of a country. Among fruit crops, mango and banana are largest producing fruits of India. Generally, Karnataka is called as the horticultural state of India. In Karnataka, mango and banana are highest producing fruit crops. With these prospective, yield of mango and banana of Karnataka have been chosen as study variables. Forecasting is a primary aspect of developing economy so that proper planning can be undertaken for sustainable growth of the country. In this study, classes of linear and nonlinear, parametric and non-parametric statistical models have been employed to forecast yield of mango and banana of Karnataka. The major drawback of linear models is the presumed linear form of the model. In most of the cases, the time series are not purely linear or nonlinear as they contain both linear and nonlinear components. To overcome this problem a hybrid model has been proposed which consists of linear and nonlinear models. The hybrid model with the combination of Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Support Vector Regression model performed better in both model building as well as in model validation as compared to other models.
