  6. Average Productivity (All Fruits) Area Expansion –Chatrihama,Sgr. Area Expansion 2005-06

  7. Average Productivity (APPLE)

  8. State-wise Area,Production and Productivity of Apple Indian Horticulture Database-2004 (NHB) Ministry of Agriculture,GOI

  9. Country Area (Hectares) Production (M.T) Productivity (MT/HA) China 24,00,800 2,40,07,000 10.00 U.S.A 1,86,000 48,50,000 26.08 India 2,31,000 13,80,000 5.97 Apple Production trends in leading countries (2002)

  10. Marketing of Major Horticulture Products Production

  11. Export of Fresh Fruits out of J&K

  12. Export of Walnut outside the Country

  13. Market Infrastructure Development Programme • Establishing a network of 21 Satellite markets in major fruit producing areas of the State. 3 Terminal Markets 22 Apni Mandis (rural primary markets)

  14. Technology Mission Private Sector Grading & Packing Sheds • Target: 100 • Cases received: 92 • Forwarded to NHB: 92 • Cases referred to Banks by NHB: 76 Shortfalls • Banks showed poor response in releasing Term Loan. • Only 8 cases sanctioned till date. Measures • Persuading Banks for quick credit facility.

  15. FRUIT PRODUCTION: ECONOMIC ASPECT • Over 5 Lakh families involved • Over 27 Lakh growers involved. • Rs.1600.00 Crore income from fresh fruits • Rs.300.00 Crore income from dry fruits • Generates employment: 1 Ha=1.3 person-days/year. • Over 7 Crore boxes of fruit exported/year.

  16. Increase in Farm Income for Apple

  17. Increase in Farm Income for Walnut

  18. Employment Opportunities generated under TMNE (Horticulture)

  19. A Farmer’s Perspective • Small holdings (average orchard size 0.40 ha) • Access to market opportunities severely constrained by • Long transport lead • Uncertainty of transport • Lack of organised sector provision of credit: dependence on commission agents • Absence of grading and quality control systems • Lack of information on consumer preferences • Non-transparent price setting in markets • Absence of on-farm storage

  20. The Outcome • Bunching of supply of ungraded apples in the market • Depresses overall prices • Inhibits investment to increase productivity at the farm level

  21. Priorities for Policy • Facilitate functional markets for credit and inputs • Promote investments in irrigation at farm level • Realign institutional roles for • Responsive extension machinery • Regulating quality standards of inputs • Public-private partnership: quality certification • Crowding in investments: infrastructure, processing • SAUs to service extension with knowledge and innovation

  22. Immediate Measures • Demand forecast and consumer preference • Market intervention • Freight subsidy for terminal markets • Alternate packing • Building farmers’ stake in rejuvenation and diversification
