  3. Assam Agriculture– General Profile

  4. Agricultural GrowthinAssam Government of Assam 5

  5. Production of Rice (lakh MT) 50.86 44.08 40.70 33.19 • Assam has become8th largest producerin India in respect of Rice(Ranked 12th in 2006-07). 29.16 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11

  6. Rice ProductivityAssam vis a vis National Average (Kg. per hectare) National Average 271 360 540 774 Gap 782 Assam

  7. Production of Foodgrains (lakh MT) 52.31 45.55 42.24 34.71 30.63 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11

  8. New Records set inProduction & Productivity(Rice & Foodgrains)

  9. Record Breaking PerformanceofAssam in Agriculture getsNational Recognition Assam is adjudged as the “Highest Ranked State” amongst Group 2 States for best performance in producing Foodgrains, thus became entitled to award of Rs. 2.0 crore. The category II States include Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Uttrakhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Himalchal Prsdesh besides Assam. Assam has also ranked 1st for performance in Rice amongst all the States. Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh presenting KRISHI KARMAN AWARD to Hon’ble Chief Minister.

  10. Production ofHorticultural Crops (lakh MT) 69.03 66.94 63.53 61.01 60.19 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11

  11. Productivity ofHorticultural Crops Assam vis a vis National Average(Kg. per hectare)(2009-10)

  12. Horticulture Surplus in 2010-11 (in MT)

  13. Comparative Study of Productivity

  14. Weather Scenario : Kharif, 2011 Monthwise Rainfall

  15. Kharif Crop Assessment : 2011

  16. Kharif Crop Assessment : 2011

  17. Kharif Assessment • In Kharif 2011, by and large the situation is promising because – • Though deficient, the rainfall distribution is favourable. • No major damage of crop due to flood. • No pest & disease outbreak. • Schematic support in time. • The Weather Watch Report reflecting more area coverage in Kharif Rice than 2010-11. • Other than Rice, the prospect of Jute, Kharif Pulse & Oilseeds seems to be equally good.

  25. Seed Testing Seed Treatment

  26. Requirement &availability of Fertilisers

  27. Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) (through departmental initiative)

  28. Agricultural Credit

  29. Credit related challenges

  30. NFSM - Rice: Impact of implementation (13 NFSM districts)

  31. NFSM - Rice:Action Plan for 2011-12

  32. NFSM - Pulse:Action Plan for 2011-12

  33. Implementation of A3P during Kharif, 2011 Proposed programmeof A3P during Rabi, 2011

  39. Issues Of Concern • Low Productivity : • Rice is the major foodgrain crop. Highest Rice productivity (2010-11) i.e. 1969 Kg. per hectare as compared to national average of 2240 Kg. per hectare. • Very small & fragmented land holding : • Average land holding : 1.11 hectare against national average of 1.33 hectare. • Seed Certification : Seed Certification Agency (ASSCA) virtually defunct. • Net crop area under assured irrigation : Only 22.5%. Absence of electrical connectivity compels farmers to use diesel run pump sets making cost of production high. • Consumption of fertiliser : 67 Kg. per hectare against 129 Kg. per hectare at national level. • Negligible usages of Micronutrients : Applied in only in 5% of Net Cropped Area.

  40. Issues of Concern • Availability of Farm Power : 0.70 HP per hectare against national average of 1.20 HP per hectare. • Weak marketing infrastructure (Villages connected with metalled Road): 35% • Low credit flow : 82% farm families are deprived of agricultural credit through KCCs. • Procurement : High moisture content of Paddy makes it unfit for procurement by FCI / State Agencies.
