23 Fertilizers’ requirement: Kharif

24 ACHIEVEMENTS Consumption of Fertilizers ( in NPK) has increased to kg/ha from kg/ha during the last four years. Still it is far below the national average Constraints in timely supply –Large distances from ports / factories Bottlenecks at ports Avilability of railway rakes More transit time –Large geographical area of the State Thin railway nework Increase road transportation –Inadequate storage capacity –Weak credit structure –Weak economical condition of farmers Less purchasing power Less ability for advanced procurement and storage Fertilizers’ requirement: Issues

25 Fertilizers’ requirement: Issues (Cont..) Arrangements made for Kharif 2010 by State Government –Assessment for Kharif 2010 requirements made –Increased support to MARKFED for import of DAP and pre-positioning this year Funds Government Guarantee Compensation for interest / storage charges /maintenance / local transport –Compensating PACS for interest burden due to advanced storage

26 Fertilizers’ requirement: Issues (Cont..) Introduction of NBS policy –Impact on availability, particularly of DAP Companies not finalized import arrangement –Freeing of MRP likely to make fertilizers costly Adversely impact poorer States / Regions / Sections of farmer –Freedom of movement control likely to lead to Shortage of fertilizers in the hinterland states like M.P. with companies preferring to sell fertilizers mostly in costal states –Reimbursement of only rail freight likely to cause Shortage at places away from railway rake points as the Fertilizer Companies may not show interest in supplying fertilizers there

34 Some best practices adopted by the State 1.Lowering risks and cost of agriculture Coop credit interest brought down from 16% to 7% ( ), 5% ( ) and 3% from 1/4/2010 2/3 farmers covered under Kisan Credit Card Wheat bonus Rs. 100/qtl in , Rs. 50/qtl in and Rs. 100/qtl in farmer seed societies; doubling of F1 seed availability between

35 Best practices (contd) 2.Strengthening extension –1st State to introduce PPP model (ATMA) –1 st State Level call centre –1 st Hindi website for agriculture; KGK; CSC –Community radio station at Sironj (Vidisha) –1007 farm field schools mobilized in –13293 demonstrations held in –Dist./block level Krishi Vigyan Mela –Monthly newsletter; radio and TV content

36 Best practices (contd) 3. Moisture conservation efforts –SRI and ridge-and-furrow thrust techniques –Balram Tal scheme for on-farm ponds –Tubewell scheme for cultivators –Top-up subsidy for drip and sprinkler systems –Energisation of wells constructed under MNREGA

37 Best practices (contd) 4. Rural finance institutions –1 st among north Indian states to sign Vaidyanathan Mou in 2006; over Rs crores received as assistance –Comprehensive amendments to Coop Act passed –Wide ranging reform of PACS underway; focus on SMF memership; savings, portfolio financing

38 Best practices (contd) 5.Marketing –Modernization programme covering 240 market yards (computerization, electronic scales, farmer facilities) –Single license system for bulk buyers to facilitate direct farmer-processor linkage –National Spot Exchange begins functioning at Indore (April 2009) –3 storage and marketing hubs for cereals and perishables planned in –WHR, storage and collateral services being expanded

39 Major Issues for consideration of Government of India Shortage of seed –Paddy (Short / Medium duration) –Arhar (Medium duration) Fertilizers –Early finalization of import arrangements by companies –Increase number of rake points –Permit two points rakes –Regulate / Incentivise fertilizer companies to supply fertilizers in remote places

40 Major Issues for consideration of Government of India (Cont..) Fertilizers (Cont..) –Allocation of 1 LMT Urea, 2 LMT DAP and 0.50 LMT Complex Fertilizers for April & May 2010 required for pre-positioning Subsidy under various schemes be enhanced for SC/ST farmers RKVY –Approval for the norms for the project on Soil Health Card pending.

41 Major Issues for consideration of Government of India (Cont..) ISOPOM scheme –As funds received from GOI in the last four years were less than the approved programme payment liabilities to the tune of Rs. 27 Crore have accumulated –GOI has recently permitted clearing liabilities of approximately Rs. 7 Crore –Similar permission required for years prior to No additional funds required.

42 Major Issues for consideration of Government of India (Cont..) Mini Mission II – Cotton ( ) Rs. in Crore 1Central Share to be received (1)As per approved programme of (2) Balance Central Share of last year’s to be received Central share received so far Balance to be received292.78
