  3. Structure of presentation • SWOT of MP agriculture • Overview of recent achievements • Strategic goals – 2009-12 • Strategic Action Plan and budgetary requirements • Policy suggestions for GOI

  4. A brief SWOT analysis • Strengths • 11 agro-climatic zones; 1100 mm rainfall • Excellent land-man ratio; good soil types • 1/3 area under forests; rich bio diversity • Good support infrastructure: 4500 PACS, 240 mandis, 2 SAU, 11 Ag Colleges • Strong extension network

  5. SWOT (contd) • Weakness • ¾ holdings small and marginal (26% area) • 2/3 area rainfed; monsoon vagaries • 22% rural population tribal; low literacy • High risk factor: lack of diversification • Low use of HYV seed, fertilizer, mechaniz. • Rural credit system weak • Infrastructure (esp. power) and transport bottlenecks

  6. SWOT (contd) • Opportunities • Strong political will to support agriculture • Increased budgetary support under CSS • Improving power and irrigation scenario

  7. SWOT (concluded) • Threats • Uneven fund disbursal • Inefficient HR management • Untargeted interventions • Change of focus at State level

  16. Some policy initiatives at a glance • Lowering risks and cost of agriculture • Coop credit interest brought down from 16% to 7% (2006-07), 5% (2007-08) and 3% (proposed for 2009-10); state subsidy 100cr • 2/3 farmers covered under Kisan Credit Card • Rs. 100/qtl wheat bonus in 2007-08 and Rs. 50/qtl wheat bonus paid in 2008-09 • State level debt waiver scheme for loans upto Rs. 50k announced (to be implemented) • 300+ farmer seed societies; doubling of F1 seed availability between 2006-2008.

  17. Policy initiatives (contd) • Strengthening extension • 1st State to introduce PPP model (ATMA) • 1st State Level call centre • 1st Hindi website for agriculture; KGK; CSC • Community radio station • Over 1500 farm schools mobilized • Each of 52,000 villages site for demo plot • Dist./block level Krishi Vigyan Mela • Monthly newsletter; radio and TV content

  18. Policy initiatives (contd) 3. Moisture conservation efforts • SRI and ridge-and-furrow thrust techniques • Balram Tal scheme for on-farm ponds • Tubewell scheme for cultivators • Top-up subsidy for drip and sprinkler systems

  19. Policy initiatives (contd) 4. Rural finance institutions • 1st among north Indian states to sign Vaidyanathan Mou in 2006; over Rs. 1200 crores received as assistance • Comprehensive amendments to Coop Act passed • Wide ranging reform of PACS underway; focus on SMF memership; savings, portfolio financing

  20. Policy initiatives (contd) • Marketing • Modernization programme covering 240 market yards (computeriz., electronic scales, farmer facilities) • Single license system for bulk buyers to facilitate direct farmer-processor linkage • National Spot Exchange begins functioning at Indore (April 2009) • 3 storage and marketing hubs for cereals and perishables planned in 2009-10 • WHR, storage and collateral services being expanded

  21. Strategic goals 2009-10 to 2011-12

  22. Strategic goals 2009-12 • Achieve 5% p.a. growth in agriculture • Attain national productivity goals in major crops • Promote groundwater recharge and in-situ moisture conservation efforts • Promote a sustainable, diversified agriculture model, based on optimum resource use • Promote intensive mechanization to improve productivity and reduce production losses and drudgery • Create effective and transparent marketing mechanisms to enable unlocking of farm produce value • Support research and HRD focused on State’s needs

  23. Strategic Action Plan • Achieving 5% per annum growth • Double SRR of all major crops in 3 years • Increase seed production throughout breeder-foundation-certified chain • Promote diversification through additional areas under horticulture and agro forestry • Promote targeted mechanization to improve yields • Strengthen animal husbandry interventions across value chain • Liberalise marketing arrangements further; PPP in infrastructure; WHR; strategic marketing hubs, etc. • Target SMF with institutional credit and financial services, including risk mitigation strategies

  24. SAP (contd) 2. Attain national productivity goals in major crops Soybean • Research will be focused on early maturing disease free varieties. • Ridge-and-furrow and similar useful practices • Weed control to be focus of farm level efforts • Farm schools to anchor demo and technology transfer efforts Paddy • Increase seed availability, esp. hybrids and early maturing varieties • Upland paddy to be phased out with oilseeds and pulses • SRI method to cover entire paddy acreage in 3-5 years

  25. Wheat • Varietal replacement • Addressing micro nutrient deficiencies • Timely sowing and irrigation management • Niche production and value chain enhancement for ‘sharbati’ and durum varieties Gram • Increasing SRR • Targeting productivity increase for SMF • Irrigation and pest management Efforts underpinned by revitalised extension system, which is being made totally farmer anchored.
