SHARE OF ANDHRA PRADESH IN TOTAL PRODUCTION

STRENGTHS  Diverse Agro Climatic Zones & Abundant sub-soil water resources.  High production in Mango, Sweet Orange, Spices, Papaya, Tomato.  Large Network of Nurseries / Seed Agencies – both in Private & Public Sector  Enterprising & Progressing farming community.  Horticulture being treated as Focus Area by Govt.  Emphasis on Irrigation Projects.

WEAKNESSES Lack of regulation on quality of Plant Material. Inadequate Post Harvest Management & Marketing Facilities in Production clusters. Erratic monsoon & inadequate power supply. Small land holdings & not so strong co-operative ethos. Weak extension systems – Gap between the potential & actual productivity.

OPPORTUNITIES Availability of vast extents of dry / waste / rain fed lands suitable for Area Expansion Rejuvenation – A promising proposition to increase productivity in crops like Cashew, Mango, Guava, Pomegranate. Converting tribal belts into Organic clusters. Creation of State of Art Post Harvest facilities at Mango clusters by APEDA. Export potential for Mango, Banana, Vegetables & Flowers – International Airport – Potential to became export Hub. Blooming of Retail Fresh Chains in Hyderabad – Can provide impetus to production & ensuring better price realization to grower. Agro based industries can spur generation of employment

CHALLENGES  Increase in Soil & Water Salinity limiting productivity.  Virus affected Plant Material – especially for Sweet Orange  Real Estate Boom – Affecting Commercial Horticulture in the surrounding districts of Hyderabad.  Drought & Cyclone.  Tradition of using high Pesticides – Residual issues affecting Overseas Trade.  Long chain of middle men between producer & consumer.

Self Sufficiency Self sufficiency in vegetable 15% increase in area and production.  Increase in production & productivity through supply of hybrid vegetable seed.  Promoting cultivation of high value vegetables under shade houses & poly houses.  Encouraging cultivation of Cucurbits on pendals to reduce losses.  Raising of seedlings under shade houses to reduce seed cost  Tomato cultivation with trellis to improve quality of produce. Strategies

Post Harvest  Promotion of establishment of Post Harvest infrastructure  HRD of the growers & field staff  Tie-up between production clusters & Private players Reduce Post Harvest losses from the present 30-35% to 25% Export Revenues Enhance export revenues from Rs.816 crores during to Rs.1000 crores by  Focus Produce – Mango Pulp, Spices (Chillies & Turmeric) Pomegranate, Banana and Cashew.  Value addition of horticulture produce through integrated radiation processing facility and aseptic packing unit. Strategies

Self Sustaining Production To meet the challenges of sustainability & competitiveness  Organic cultivation of high value horticulture crops in an area of 36,000 Ha.  Awareness on cultural & Mechanical method of pest control and optimum utilization of inorganic inputs. Strategies Oilpalm Development To attain self sufficiency in palm oil production Strategies  To cover an area of 71,250 Ha. in the next 3 years.  Promote research to evolve high yielding dwarf varieties

Technology Transfer Effective transfer of technology through knowledge base farmer centric strategies  Imparting trainings to 1.50 lakh farmers on the latest developments in horticulture.  Exposure Visits and interaction with progressive farmers of other States.  Awareness through mass media.  Dissemination of Technology through CDs & films on GMP in focus crops.  Effective utilization of extension system for addressing the farmers concerns. Strategies

Market Linkages Initiatives for the linkages between production clusters & private sector  Encouraging formation of Growers Co-operatives / SHG for Focus Crops Mango, Sweet Orange, Banana.  Market exposure given to the Co-operatives.  Interaction between bulk Traders & Growers in Production clusters  Adoption of Organic Farming – tie-up with exporters  Opening of Organic Outlets in Rythu Bazar for marketing of Organic Vegetables.  Direct Marketing facility for the Tribal’s to sell their Horticulture produce to consumers. Strategies

Water Management Increased water use efficiency & enhanced crop productivity Area under Irrigation46.44 lakh Ha. Area under Fruits, Vegetables & Other crops44.62 lakh Ha. Area under Bore wells31.74 lakh Ha. Area under Micro Irrigation 5.08 lakh Ha. Potential available for Micro Irrigation lakh Ha.
