The vegetable breeding experience confirms that identifying objectives of breeding is prelude and key to successful results of a breeding programme in developing improved verities. In order to identify the objectives, the views of the choice makers must be considered which will ensure the acceptance and popularity among the farmers and consumers. Practical examples have been illustrated.
