3. 2013-14 Season-wise Highlights Kharif Area coverage was 70.58 lakh hectares against the normal area of about 70.26 lakh hectares. Sowing of summer crops was taken up in 6.32 lakh hectares accounting for 95% progress against the set target of 6.67 lakh hectares. Rabi Area coverage was 29.88 lakh ha. accounting for 88% achievement against the set target of 33.78 lakh ha. Failure of rainfall during November/ December and excess area coverage under Cotton and Red gram in many Northern districts during Kharif were the main reasons for declined area coverage during Rabi. Pre-monsoon and Southwest monsoon rains were normal, except in August 2013. Agriculture Sector achieved a positive GSDP growth rate of 3.5% after negative growth rate during 2011-12 & 2012-13 (-9.7% & -4.9%) (at constant prices)

Nearly 70% of the geographical area of Karnataka falls under ‘ arid ’ and ‘ semi arid' climatic zones, where rainfall is scanty and average temperature is high. Though the normal annual rainfall in the State is 1151 mm, received over 55 days, about 2/3 rd of the State ’ s geographical area receives less than 750 mm of rainfall.

13. Inter-Departmental Coordination  Power: The State has established five electricity distribution companies four efficient power supply. Especially for Agriculture, the power is supplied free of cost up to 10 HP. This has been a boon for crop production.  There are about 16.82 lakh electrical irrigation pump sets irrigating a gross area of about 16 lakh hectares accounting for 40% of the total irrigated area and it is major source of irrigation.  Regular joint meeting of electric supply companies with agriculture and allied departments are held for assured supply of power for crop production.  Irrigation: For the release of water from the reservoirs in every season there is a joint meeting of officers of Irrigation, Agriculture & Command Area Development authority chaired by the District –in charge- Minister.  In these meetings, the quantum of irrigation water available, the ideal crop and varieties to be recommended, arrangement for inputs like seeds, fertilisers, P.P. Chemicals and crop loans are discussed and date of release of water in the canals is decided.

14. Inter-Departmental Coordination  Fertilizers: For every season the requirement of fertilizers is worked out on the basis of crop pattern and communicated to the GOI for timely allocation and release. Regular joint meetings of the manufacturers, distribution agencies and departmental officers are held. The district administration is geared up for efficient distribution of fertilisers. Karnataka State has evolved an unique method of BUFFER STOCKING of fertilisers through Karnataka State Co-operative Marketing Federation by providing interest free loan from the Government.  Credit: The State has come out with new credit policy with interest free loan up to Rs.1.00 Lakh. 3% interest for crop loan up to Rs.3.00 lakh from co-operative societies for prompt payers.
