Presentation ON Primary Sector Tripura

PERSPECTIVE PLAN ACHIEVEMENTS AGRICULTURE COMPONENTS Before Perspective Plan Foodgrains Requirement (Lakh MT) 8.11*7.76**7.87** Total Foodgrains Production (Lakh MT) anticipated 7.20 target Gap (Lakh MT) Calculated based on Population growth 2.98% ( before 2001 census) ** *Calculated based on Population growth 1.47%

HYV Seed Production (Contd..) HYV Certified paddy seed Production anticipated to be 4000 MT in from 28 MT in Own Requirement of Certified HYV seeds is 4000 MT & Production target is 5000 MT per annum w.e.f Surplus HYV certified Paddy seed (1000 MT ).

4 HYV Paddy Seed production Multiplication of Breeders’ seed from Nucleolus seed and Foundation seeds from Breeders’ seed in the departmental farms.

5 Hybrid Rice Seed Production Production of Hybrid Rice Seed in Govt. Farms & also in farmers’ field since (KRH -2 & DRRH-1). In NE states, only Tripura has taken up Production of Hybrid seed in Farmers’ field.

ANNUAL ACTION PLAN : Projected Population : Lakhs (taking growth rate of 1.47% as per 2001 census) Foodgrains Requirement : 7.87 Lakh MT Foodgrains Prodn. Target :7.20 Lakh MT

CROP DIVERSIFICATION : Pulses Area expansion from 8500 ha to ha in Increase in productivity from 600 Kg/ha to 1362 Kg /ha in Processing: Dal mill shall be provided in the pulse growing areas.

13 Strategy for oil seed Production Area expansion. Seed replacement of high yielding improved varieties of oil seeds. More area to be brought under irrigation Training of farmers as well as field personnel.

14 HORTICULTURE Target for additional area revised upwards from ha to ha in Production of fruits increased from 4.46 Lakh tons ( before Perspective plan) to 5.25 lakh tons ( estimated). Target of fruit production in 2012 :6.05 lakh MT Vegetable production increased from 3.37 Lakh tons ( before Perspective plan) to 3.65 lakh tons ( estimated). Target of Vegetable production in 2012 : 4.38 lakh MT

15 HORTICULTURE New Initiatives: Cluster approach for identified Horticulture crops ( Orange, banana, litchi, mango, cashew nut, papaya). Promotion of nurseries in private & public sector. Creation of water bodies as source of irrigation. Procurement of quality planting materials from out side states.

16 HORTICULTURE Training of farmers. Protected cultivation of Off-season vegetables & flowers. Cultivation of high value flowers through contract farming with marketing tie up. Training to SHGs & Women for home scale processing.
