 Predominantly Rain fed Agriculture.  Climatic change: Shift in rainfall pattern and frequent drought.  Instability in food production.  Erratic rainfall, long dry spells, occasional heavy rains, cloudy weather and high humidity at the time of flowering and pod setting result in poor yield.  Non-availability of quality seed at appropriate rate and time.  Pulses are generally grown under deficit moisture and poor management practices.  The farmers either do not apply fertilizers or if they apply, application method is not proper.  The pulse crops are very vulnerable to a large number of pest and diseases, as compared to cereals and other crops.  Climatic and Socio-economic Constraints for Pulses & Oilseed in Jharkhand

Road Map for Oilseed & Pulses Sector  Expand oilseed and Pulses area Rice fallows and non-traditional areas Intercropping Crop diversification  Effective technology dissemination for enhancing productivity Quality seed of improved varieties Balanced crop nutrition Protective irrigation Effective crop management Integrated pest management  Provide favorable policy back up Decontrol of traditional oilseeds and Pulses from small scale sector to enhance efficiency of processing Effective market interventions Favourable trade policy 14

Under NHM programme cashew plantation has been started in the state since Only 3 districts namely E. Singhbhum, Saraikela & W. Singhbhum with an area of 3330 ha. had been covered till Upto total area of ha covered in 10 districts in the state. Three cashewnut processing units and two in pipeline with a total capacity of 560 kg/8 hrs are being established in the different locations. Selling price of raw Cashew - Rs / kg (the selling price of raw Cashew has escalated from Rs.10-15/kg in the initial years due to three Cashew processing unit in the area)

Poor farmer & fragmented land. Open grazing culture in the state Soil related problems/ Insects/disease attack Unavailability of good planting material/seeds/cormus etc in required quantity Lack of marketing infrastructure (organized wholesale & terminal market). Poor infrastructure for P.H.M. Less knowledge about high production, technologies & its dissemination.

 Establishing nursery in privates & public sector areas for availability of good quality planting material  To harness optimum productivity, high density orcharding and fruit based multitier cropping systems is emphasized.  Training, capacity building and skill upgradation of farmers and extension functionaries.  Water source development, Use of mulches for restricting weed & irrigation  Post harvest management & infrastructures  Adoption of new technologies develop at SAU/ICAR institutes.  Increase the productivity of existing old and senile orchards through rejuvenation.  Organic farming

New Initiatives to be taken by State Horticulture Mission and Directorate of Horticulture, Jharkhand Jointly Implement MIDH programme in Non–NHM Districts Establishment of Centre for Excellence for holistic development of horticulture. State has launched the organic mission, Spices mission. Establishment of IQF (Instant Quick Freezing) unit Establishment of Collection, Grading and Packaging Centre in each district marketing yard (Bazar Samiti) in State. Cultivation of Ginger as model project jointly with Spices Board

Areas of reforms in Agricultural Marketing  Direct marketing (direct purchase of agriculture produce from agriculturists)  Private Markets  Contract Farming  Special Mandis (Markets) exclusively for Potatoes, Onion, Fruits & vegetables and etc.  Restrictions on involvement of commission agencies in sale-purchase of any type of agriculture produce.

25  Farmer consumer market by a person other than Market Committees.  Single Unified License for trading in more than one Market.  Single point levy for Market Fee.  E-trading Areas of reforms in Agricultural Marketing

26 Growth of Storage Capacity Storage capacity in MT In LMT

27  WADRA accredition required for godowns.  Further enhancement of three lacs M.T.- of M.T. capacity at PACKS level on WDRA norms is required to enable the farmers for facilities like pledge loan.  It will further strengthen the availability of grains for FOOD SECURITY PROGRAMME. Constraints and Immediate Plans

28  602 nos of Gramin Haats are there in 28 APMC.  Out of these 19 have been identified for immediate up- gradation and 17 in the second phase.  These Gramin Mandis have some basic infrastructure in the shape of covered platforms, internal road, drainage, sanitation, drinking water facilities etc. However they require further facilities for PHM like pre-cooling units, cleaning, grading and cold chains of variable temperature capacity.  Assistance is sought under MIDH programmes.

29  16 numbers of Cold chains have been constructed at the cost of Lac costing Lac for each unit.  Provision of Sorting and Grading has been made.  7.5 KvA Generator Set for each location has been installed.  Provision of Electronic Weighing Machine and 100 numbers Plastic crates has also been made at each unit.  These are being transferred to Vegfed. Construction of Cold chain

30 Construction of Pack house, collecting centre, primary processing unit and Apni Mandi Construction of Pack House, Collecting centers and Primary Processing unit under Apni Mandi under the RKVY Scheme at different 9 points in rural hats under Ranchi APMC. Unit cost for each scheme is Lac. Assistance/Grants in aid by NCCD is required. Proposal is being sent.

31 Multi Purpose Cold Storage Facility  Proposal for construction of 5000 M.T. capacity multi chamber cold storage based on hybrid solar system with IQF. Ripening chambers of 15 MT at APMC Ranchi, Ramgarh, Dhanbad, Jamshedpur and Garhwa is under process.  Advertisement for EOI in this field was invited and has received positive responses for four places in PPP mode.  Assistance under NMFP/NHM schemes is sought.
