KRISHI KARMAN AWARDS MEETING OF THE SCREENING COMMITTEE Date: 14th December’2013 KrishiBhawan, New Delhi.
TRIPURA AT A GLANCE • Geographical area 10.49 Lakh hectares. • Forest Area 62% TGA • Gross Cropped Area 4.72 Lakh hectares • Net cropped Area 2.55 Lakh hectares • Cropping Intensity – 185 % • Average Size of holding – 0.56 ha • 96% farmers are small & marginal • Agriculture is the state's dominant sector with a contribution of about 23 per cent to the Net State Domestic Product (NSDP). Contd…
Demographic Profile • Population – 36.71 Lakhs • ST- 31 %, SC-17 % • Decadal Growth Rate – 16.03 % ( 1991-2001) 14.75% ( 2001-2011) • Population Density – 350/ Sq Km • Literacy Rate - 87.75% (94 % Present)
Climate • Climate of Tripura is Humid Sub-tropical • Long Term Average (LTA) Annual Rainfall – 220 cm • No. of Rainy days - 99 days • Annual Rainfall Variability – 20% • Percent rainfall received during Pre monsoon period – 31% Monsoon Period- 60% Post Monsoon Period- 9%
FOOD GRAIN PRODUCTION SCENARIO IN TRIPURA • Food grain Crops grown in Tripura - Rice, Maize, Wheat & pulses. • 2012-13 7.31 Lakh MT • 12.6 % 2007-08(Initial yr of 11th FYP) • 2011-12 -7.30 Lakh MT. • During 2012-13 food grain production was marginally increased but the productivity / ha increased to 2732 Kg with less area.
FOOD GRAIN PRODUCTION SCENARIO IN TRIPURA (contd) • Rice is the main food grain crop in the state, its Occupies 95% of the Food grain area and contributes 98% of the total Food grain production in the state. • Rice Production in 2012-13 was 7.19 Lakh MT which has increased 12.3% over 2007-08 ( initial year of 11th FYP ) • Rice productivity increased from 2532 kg/ha (2007-08) to 2822 kg/ha (2012-13)
Strategies adopted Productivity enhancement: • Production of Quality Certified Paddy Seed (3200 mt) • Promotion of SRI method of paddy cultivation • SRR (Seed Replacement Rate)33% in paddy and Varietal replacement • Promotion of Integrated Plant Nutrient Management ( Optimum use of Chemical & Bio-fertilizer, Micronutrient etc)
Performance of SRI • At present 37.2% of paddy area cultivated by SRI method which is contributing 42.1% production in total Rice Production in the State. • On an average 18-25% more yield realized through SRI compare to Conventional method
New Interventions (1) • Crop Diversification in Seasonal Rice Fallow – Area Increase in Pulses, Oilseeds, vegetables & other Crops (73,000 ha) • Sowing /Transplanting of Boro Paddy to be completed of Mid January. • Application of Lime for amelioration of Acid Soils • Productivity enhancement through adoption of Pulse Based Crop Rotation • Mini Modern Rice Mill (2 ton/ hour) supported with 16 ton/ day capacity Par(tially) Boil(ing) unit in each Agri Subdivision to minimize milling loss
New Interventions (2) • Popularization of rapid composting (45-60 Days) method at farm household level by using green biomass only. • Tapping of Ground Water Potential – installation of (1081 no)mini deep tube well – to provide Irrigation facilities in 5,000 ha at farm household level • Promotion of organic farming especially in Local aromatic Rice and Local aromatic Moong • Convergence with IWMP and Forest for Efficient use of water area created- for promotion of Pulses and Oilseed cultivation • Farm Mechanization
New Interventions (3) • Agri –Horti- Bamboo Activities in Land Vested to Tribal Shifting Cultivator • Management of Fringe Forest • Administrative Integration of Agriculture, Horticulture, Forest and Animal resource Sector(Primary Sector) • Introduction of Stress Tolerant varieties for Flood prone/ Flash flood areas. • Release of IRRI Developed Paddy HYV – Short and Medium early duration varieties.
Deliverables in 2016-17 • Total Food grain Requirement projected 9.05 lakh MT • Total Food grain Production is Targeted 9.50 Lakh MT
