  1. Organic Farming + Doubling Of Farmers’ Income By Sharad Marathe

  2. Agricultural Problem • Farmer distress • Low income – not enough to support the family • No market access • Small farm size (83% less than 2 acres)- getting smaller through divisions • No Economies of scale • Low productivity • Lot of land is wasted in demarcation, odd shapes and sizes • Irrigation system - non-scientific • Dis-organized farming with no scientific approach

  3. Agricultural Problem (Continued) • Employment opportunities • Not growing • Not keeping up with the rising aspirations of the youth • Depleting soil health – due to use of fertilizers and pesticides • Government resources not enough to address the problem • Incentives from government focus on increasing production and not on increasing net income • Interventions typically focus on aggregating farmers, giving inputs to them and in some cases giving support to reach market

  4. Organic Vs Conventional – Price Comparison

  5. Organic Farming Problems • Certification time (3 years) and cost • What happens until you are certified? • Typically lower productivity compared to chemical based farming • Thus higher cost of production • Higher prices mean lower volume • Hence the conventional thinking is this is a niche market with limited growth potential and only for the rich • But reality is the opposite!

  6. Top Ten Organic Producers (2015) • 2.4 million organic producers globally • 35% of World’s Organic Producers are in Asia • INDIA is country with the Most Organic Producers

  7. Organic Production in India • India produced around 1.35 million MT of certified organic products in the year 2015-16 which includes: • All varieties of food products namely Sugarcane, Oil Seeds, Cereals & Millets, Cotton, Pulses, Medicinal Plants, Tea, Fruits, Spices, Dry Fruits, Vegetables, Coffee etc. • Production is not limited to the edible sector but also includes organic cotton fiber, functional food products etc.

  8. Area Under Organic Farming • Currently, 1% of the world’s agricultural land is organic • 64% increase in organic agricultural land in India in 2015 from 2014 ie an addition of 0.5 million hectares • Total area under organic certification is 5.71million Hectare (2015-16) which includes: • 26% cultivable area with 1.49 million Hectare • Rest 74% (4.22 million Hectare) forest and wild area for collection of minor forest produces • Madhya Pradesh has covered largest area under organic certification followed by Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan

  9. Exports of Organic Food Products • Exports in 2015-16 – 2.6 Lakh MT • Organic food export revenue $300 US Million • Organic products are exported to European Union, US, Canada, Switzerland, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, South East Asian countries, Middle East, South Africa etc.

  10. Organic Food Products Exported from India

  11. Growth in Global Organic Market (2000 - 2015)

  12. Growth in Domestic Organic Market (2010 - 2016)

  13. Expected Growth in Domestic Organic Market

  14. Organic Farming New Approach • Increasing productivity through use of new business models • Reducing input cost for fertilizers and pest control supplies • Build global brand for produce and products • Major opportunities • Organic wine for exports and domestic consumption • Ayurvedic formulations for treating major illnesses like Diabetis, Arthritis, Cancer, etc. • Nutritional supplements • Coordinate with Ayush ministry
