  1. AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE EASTERN REGION WORKSHOP TO REVIEW STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS WEST BENGAL

  2. WEST BENGAL- LEADERSHIP POSITION • 1st position in - Rice, Jute, Brinjal,Cauliflower, Cabbage & Pineapple • 2nd position in - Potato & Litchi • 7th position in - Fruits

  3. STRENGTHS • Comprehensive land reforms. • Vibrant 3-tier Panchayati Raj System. • High acreage (more than 93% of available land is under cultivation). • 4 cropping seasons for growing wide varieties of crop round the year: • Pre-Kharif • Kharif • Rabi • Rabi-Summer-Boro • Balance use of NPK : 2.3:1.3:1 (Best in the Country). • Well knit input distribution net work - • 38000 retail outlets in 41000 villages.

  4. CONSTRAINTS • Cloudy sky and few sunshine hours during Kharif season. • Short and relatively non-persistent Winter spell. • Vast areas of North Bengal (approx. 27% ) under severe micro-nutrient stress. • Natural calamites (Flood, Drought & Cyclone) are regular phenomenon. • Several districts are drought prone – Bankura, Purulia, West Medinipur & Part of Burdwan &Birbhum. (Erratic rain fall and very low productivity).

  5. ANNUAL GROWTH RATE OF YIELD (%) • N.B.: • Area, Production and yield rate figures of different crops corresponding to base year 2006-07 are actually the triennium average of three years, namely, 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006-07. • Area, production and yield rate figures for the years 2010-11 and 2011-12 are year wise targets

  6. CURRENT STATUS OF PRODUCTIVITY IN THE STATE VIS-À-VIS NATIONAL LEVEL ( Yield rate in Kg/ha. Jute – bales/ ha) * Based on two years average ; ** Based on three years average (2006-09); # Including Mesta

  7. AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT IN EASTERN REGION - OVERALL STRATEGY • Bringing 172 below average productivity blocks to state average productivity level. • Enhancing productivity @ 2.5% per annum of remaining 153 blocks.

  8. COMPONENTS OF STRATEGY • Enhancing Seed Replacement Rate (SRR) • Enhancing irrigation potential • Repair, renovation and restoration of existing derelict water bodies • Extension, modernization, repair & renovation of minor-irrigation sources • Land & Water Management • Waste Land Management • Rain Water Harvesting • Emphasis on farm mechanization in small and marginal holdings • Soil management • Integrated Nutrient Management • Special emphasis on organic manure • Addressing micro-nutrient deficiency • Leguminous crops in cropping sequence • Crop diversification • Encouraging intercropping/mixed cropping

  9. TARGET FOR QUALITY SEEDS

  10. TARGET FOR NPK CONSUMPTION (KG/HA.), IRRIGATION POTENTIAL (%), CROPPING INTENSITY (%) AND FARM MECHANIZATION

  11. TARGET FOR CHANGE IN ACREAGE (Gross cropped area as a % of net cultivable area)

  12. PROJECTED INCREASE IN PRODUCTIVITY

  13. PROJECTED INCREASE IN PRODUCTION

  14. INVESTMENT PROPOSAL (2010-2011)

  15. Thank you
