The terms of references of the Committee are as follows;
1. To identify the circumstances that led to declaration of crop
holiday by the farmers.
2. To propose measures to prevent recurrence of such incidents.
1
3. To suggest suitable modifications to the cropping schedule in
Konaseema region, so that risks of weather and market are
minimized.
4. To suggest methods of increasing water use efficiency in
Godavari Delta. This is to be achieved both Irrigation and
drainage canal system.
5. To suggest methods of improving the profitability of Paddy crop.
The Committee visited the Konaseema area and interacted with
the farmers to understand the circumstances leading to situation. The
Committee also interacted with various farmers organizations,
Officials from various departments, Federations, Corporations and
Bankers.
It was reported to the Committee that high cost of cultivation not
being covered by MSP, an ineffictive procurement system, storage
capacity, crop failures on account of frequent cyclones, improper
maintenance of the drainage system, late release of canal waters, nonavailability and high cost of labour and lack of suitable farm
machinery or among the major reasons for declaring Crop Holiday.
Remedial measures suggested by the farmers and other bodies
included sustained and pro-active procurement, desilting of canals,
2
ensuring availability of farm machinery on custom hiring basis,
diversification of farming system, encouraging village based
industries, removing encroachments in drains, reducing the cost of
cultivation, medium term measures such as early opening of canals,
repairs to the drainage system, enhancing storage facilities,
announcement of the MSP and the export policy in advance, greater
coordination among various departments
and long term measures
such as the creation of agro-service centres, improving infrastructural
facilities like roads etc.
Addressing the concerns expressed to the Committee had after
consultations with various departments/agencies of the GoAP and GoI
and many eminent economists and experts in the Agriculture and
Allied Sectors, has arrived at recommendations which, it is hoped that
it will help in the consolidation and strengthening the measures under
way to address robust concerns relating to food and nutrition security
presuming the inability of agricultural operations.
East Godavari district comprises 58 mandals out of
which 51
mandals are classified as the Godavari Zone and 7 mandals as the High
Altitude Tribal Area Zone according to the Agro-climatic Zones defined
by the Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU). In the
Godavari Zone, the Central Delta, comprise the following 16 mandals, is
also known as Konaseema.

It was reported that out of these, a “Crop Holiday” was observed in
13 mandals, in 4, out of which, namely, I.Polavaram, Katrenikona,
Upalaguptam and Allavaram, it was almost total. As a result, 85,050 acres
was not cultivated by the farmers during the present Kharif season.

It was brought to the notice of the Committee by the District
Collector, East Godavari that Special Officers were deputed to each of the
mandals to motivate the farmers to take up cultivation, despite which the
situation did not change.
5
The reasons and remedial measures cited by farmers for declaring a
Crop Holiday include
Reasons:
- Late release of canal water.
- MSP not covering the actual cost of production.
- Non-enforcement of existing MSP.
- High cost of cultivation on account of high cost of labour and
inputs.
- Non-availability of labour in peak season of agricultural operation
on account of NREGS.
-
Non availability of the Credit and quality inputs in time.
- Ineffective procurement.
- Insufficient storage space.
- Poor drainage maintenance.
- Apprehensions about AP Land licensed cultivators ordinance.
- Delayed settlements of crop insurance.
Remedial Measures suggested:
- Closure of canals by 15th April and release of water by 15th May of
every year.
- Undertaking of repairs to irrigation canals, drainage channels and
outfall sluices.
6
- Provision of a remunerative price in accordance with the National
Commission on farmers to paddy as the present MSP does not cover
the cost of production.
- As, NREGS is affecting the agricultural operations as the labour are
engaged by this programme. NREGS programme should be linked up
with agricultural operations like transplantation, weeding, harvesting
etc., will solve the problems of farmers.
- FCI/State procurement agencies to procure Paddy produce on the
lines of States of Chattisgarh and Punjab and export policy to be
announced early i.e., before March.
- Supply of subsidized (at 70%) subsidy suitable machines for
cultivation to all categories of farmers.
- A bonus of Rs.200/- per quintal Paddy is to be announced by the
State Government.
- Ensuring availability of quality inputs like fertilizer/pesticides/seed
in time.
- The period of the crop loan should be the crop year and not the
financial year.
Steps taken by the Committee:
After a briefing by the Officials concerned, the Committee proceeded
to the Konaseema area on the 19th and 20th of August, 2011, and made field
visits during which it met farmers at the following places.
1. Bendamurlanka Village of Allavaram mandal.
7
2. Allavaram Village of Allavaram mandal.
3. Farmers from all mandals of Amalapuram division at Amalapuram.
It was observed that a section of the farmers desisted from
cultivation of crops in some areas as reported by the Agriculture
Department. Several representations were received from various bodies
representing the farmers such as
Bharatiya
Kisan
Sangh,
Konaseema Parirakshana Samithi,
Bheemunipalli
Rythu
Sangham,
Water
Management Committee Associations, Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage
Committee etc.,
A number of public representatives and farmers also interacted with
the Committee and explained in detail the problems being faced by them.
A gist of the various representations is at Annexure-I
After holding wide ranging discussions with the groups and
individuals, public representatives, organizations, the Committee held a
series of meetings with the officials belonging to the Departments of
Irrigation, Marketing, Civil Supplies, Animal Husbandry,
Rural
Development and Horticulture as well as , A.P.Agro Industries
Development Corporation, AP state Dairy Development Federation, the
National Agricultural Insurance Corporation and representatives of the
Lead Bank of the State-Level Banker’s Committee, to ascertain their
views.

I) Circumstances that led the declaration of a “Crop Holiday”
Andhra Pradesh has for long been considered the rice bowl of India
contributing about 14% of the rice production of the Country. Paddy
occupies 35% of the total cropped area of the State and was grown in
29.22 lakh ha in the Kharif season and 18.30 lakh ha in the Rabi season
during 2010-11. (Annexure 2a, 2b).
Estimated Paddy production in the Kharif season was 112.64 Lakh
MT and in the Rabi season was 103.64 Lakh MT, totaling to 216.28 Lakh
MT, during the year 2010-11. East Godavari district alone contributed
31.05 Lakh MT, of which the share of Amalapuram division was 5.03
Lakh MT (Annexure 2c, 2d, 2e ).
After a critical examination of the various issues related to paddy
crop cultivation, production and procurement, the Committee felt that the
following circumstances led the farmers of East Godavari desisting from
taking up cultivation of paddy in the Kharif season, 2011.
1. Cost of cultivation:
The production cost of paddy per quintal as estimated by the
Department of Agriculture (based on the methodology of CACP) and the
MSP declared during the last three years are as follows. (Annexure 3a, 3b,
3c, 3d).

(*) Based on the recommendations of the National Farmers' Commission.
The cost of cultivation in Amalapuram region is even higher (Rs
1583/- per quintal) because of the higher labour cost and higher use of
inputs etc.(Annexure 3e, 3f, 3g, 3h)
2. Vulnerability to natural calamities:
Amalapuram division is exposed to various natural calamities such as
floods and cyclones apart spells of heavy rainfall. A list of natural
calamities during the past three years and assistance extended to the
Amalapuram revenue division is at Annexure (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f).
10
In case of calamities, the payment of compensation is usually being
delayed, as reported by the farmers, resulting in approaching the money
lenders for investment for the next crop.
3. Drainage system:
The drainage system comprises major and minor drains maintained
by the Irrigation Department, and revenue drains maintained by the farmers
themselves. All the drains constitute an integrated system and malfunction
in one of the drains, hamper the efficiency of the whole system resulting in
the submergence of crops.
4. Water release in Canals:
The Committee was informed that in the earlier days (i.e. prior to
1995) canal waters used to be released every year by the 25th of May thus
enabling the farmers to complete transplantation by the third week of June.
As a result, the crop used to attain enough height to withstand submergence
caused by heavy rains in July and August. The crop was also normally
harvested much before the onset of the cyclone season namely
November/December.
Of late, water is being released only in the second or third week of
June resulting in delayed transplantation (extending to July) and delayed
harvest (extending to November/December). This has led to submergence
11
of the crop (following .rains in August/September and cyclones in
November/December) and a consequent fall in the productivity as well as
the quality of the paddy. Details of heavy rains and cyclones are at
Annexure (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f).
Delayed transplantation of the Kharif crop also delays
the
operations of Rabi and summer pulse crops, leading once again to delay
in the closure of the canal beyond March.
5. Availability of Labour:
Shortage of labour is also a major issue in this area. In all the 16
mandals put together, Kharif paddy is taken up in about 51211 ha. During
the transplantation period, within a short span of fifteen days, large
numbers of labour are required (Annexure 5). During the earlier years,
there was migration of labour from other districts like Srikakulam,
Vizianagaram etc. In the recent years, however, this has reduced
substantially on account of an increase in other opportunities.
Normally, when faced with a labour shortage, farmers switch to less
labour intensive horticulture crops. This alternative, unfortunately, is not
available in the Konaseema region, paddy being at present, the only option.
Lands which are at elevated places are already being utilized for raising
coconut plantations.
12
Shortage of labour has not yet been tackled by the modernization of
mechanisation in a sufficient scale in transplanting and harvesting.
Transplanters and combined harvesters which are very popular in other
parts of Andhra Pradesh are also not suitable for use in the heavy loamy
and clay soils of this region.
6. The tenancy system:
It was reported to the Committee that an informal tenancy system is
common in this area and covers nearly 50 – 60% of the sown area. In view
of the prevailing high cost of cultivation, the number of bags of paddy
given as rent to the owners has reduced in recent years.
The prevailing
rate is reported as 10 bags in Kharif and 15 bags in Rabi. The lessee faces
additional problems such as the non-availability of credit and inputs
including seed, fertilizer etc., as well as access to the prevailing MSP
making paddy cultivation very un-remunerative. Thus, in the prevailing
situation, neither the owner nor the lessee is happy with farming.
GoAP recently piloted the passage of a legislation to address the
needs of tenant farmers through an Ordinance “A.P. Land Licensed
Cultivation Ordinance 2011” (No. 17 dated: 08-06-2011) which entitles the
lessee to an “input and loan eligibility card”. The owner farmers appear
to entertain certain apprehensions about the implications of this initiative,
resulting in strained relations between owner and tenant.
13
7. Procurement:
Farmers in this area lost most of the kharif 2010 crop on account of
the Jal Cyclone. They harvested a good crop in Rabi 2011 as in other
parts of the State. The response of the public procurement system could
not adequately meet the demand for (a) purchasing dis-coloured paddy of
Kharif, 2010 and (b) purchasing excess production from Rabi, 2011. Many
farmers
complained that even the Minimum Support Price
was not
forthcoming and that they had to resort to distress sales.
Most of the paddy is purchased through rice millers, who buy it from
farmers and deliver the levy to the FCI in the ratio of 75:25. That is, 75%
of rice milled is handed over to FCI and balance 25% is sold in the open
market. There are, however, many restrictions in selling the 25% also,
only 50% of this
rice can be sold outside the State, and that, after
obtaining requisite permits from the Department of Civil Supplies.
Though the Civil Supplies Corporation buys paddy through the
centres opened by Self Help Groups, the Groups are not very effective in
this area, not being properly equipped or trained.
Milling capacity
processing the
in the District is
more
what is required for
local production. The Committee was told that it is
common practice for the millers to buy paddy from the nearby States of
Chattisgarh, Orissa etc., mill and deliver the rice to FCI towards the levy
14
obligation. In years of good production, estimates of which are,
unfortunately, not sufficiently accurate, this practice has the potential to
lead to a crash in prices in local markets and to force the farmers to resort
distress sales.
There is also, clearly, a shortage of storage facilities in this area, the
available space being only 17500 MT. According to the information
collected from Food Corporation of India, against the target of 100 lakh
MT. the procurement was only 86 lakh MT. as on 08.09.2011. (Annexures
6a, 6b, 6c).
II) Measures to Prevent Recurrence of Such Incidents:
(1) Opening of canals:
The Committee recommends that subject to availability of water
flows, Canals ought to be opened mandatorily between the 15th of May and
the 25th May and closed by the 1st of April, thus leaving 45 days for the
maintenance. There should be only 45 days of closing period for the
canals. The Irrigation Department should draw up an advance Action Plan
for the completion of maintenance works in those 45 days. If this is done,
the paddy crop, whether taken up by direct sowing or through
transplantation, can escape the impact of Cyclones which occur frequently
in the month of November.
15
Modernization of the canal system, for which a programme has
already been sanctioned at the cost of Rs.3,361 crores, is yet to be
grounded. The reason stated by the Irrigation Department is that there is
no proper response from the Contractors, mainly due to insufficient
working period. The Irrigation Department perhaps needs to examine the
distributaries of repackaging or resizing the reaches, calling for tenders and
ensure that the task is taken up as early as possible. Modernisation also
needs to be taken up in a phased manner covering something like a quarter
of the Delta area each year, to enable sufficient working period. Care
needs to be taken however, that farmers are informed in advance and taken
into confidence, about the schedule and to ensure completion of the works
in the scheduled area.
The water requirement for the entire East Godavari and West
Godavari districts is met from the Dowleswaram Barrage, which is
reportedly getting silted up. The Irrigation Department needs to take up
maintenance and desilting operations, so that the storage capacity of the
Barrage is maintained and Kharif and Rabi crops can be grown without
fear of water shortage.
16
2) Improvement in Drainage System:
The Committee was told that most of the revenue drains are
encroached affecting free flow of water. Fishermen are also reportedly
placing nets in the canals obstructing water flow. Eviction of
encroachments and obstructions from the drains needs immediate attention.
The Irrigation Department also needs to take up repairs of existing
drains and outflow sluices on a regular basis, so that the impact of natural
calamities is minimized.
(3) Farm Mechanisation:
It was reported to the Committee the shortage in availability of
labour for agriculture operations, is compounded by the lack of availability
of suitable farm machinery, impeding the imperative for shifting to
mechanization.
Implements such as Paddy Weeders, Paddy driers and Small
transplanters etc., need to be provided on top priority and adequate funds
allotted for the purpose. There is need also to enhance the pace and focus
on Research and Development (R&D) activity on farm mechanization,
with a view to providing appropriate and adequate farm machinery for this
area and other different agro ecological situations in the State.
17
Small tractors, small transplanters and light weight combined
harvesters should be made available for custom hiring from Agro Service
Stations. Such stations can be maintained by the Farmers groups/local
PACS/entrepreneurs on a regionally differentiated “Best Actor” syndrome.
It is estimated that 3000 Agro Service Stations are required for the
entire State and 100 for Konaseema region. The investments required (to
the tune of Rs. 2500 crores) can be mobilized from Banks and RKVY in
the coming 3 – 4 years, which can perhaps be implemented on terms and
conditions to be worked out on the lines of the special scheme being
implemented by the Agriculture Department.
4) Minimum Support Price:
The Agriculture Department’s estimate which is enclosed at
Annexures 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, estimated that the cost of production per quintal
for the year 2011-12 for Paddy common variety would be Rs.1270/- and
for Grade ‘A’ Rs.1355/-. The MSPs announced by the Government of
India was only Rs.1080/- and
Rs.1110/-respectively.
The cost of
producing one quintal of Paddy is much more in Konaseema (Statement
enclosed at Annexure 3g, 3h).
The National Commission on Farmers recommended fixation of the
Minimum Support Price at 50% above the actual cost of production per quintal.
The State Government also recommended for fixation of MSP at Rs.1905/- for
common and Rs. 2033/- for grade ‘A’ paddy for the year 2011-12. The National
18
Commission also recommends that “The State Government will have to
undertake reforms speedily in order to provide more options to the farmers for
selling their produce, allowing the private sector, including Co-operatives, to
develop markets, direct sales to consumer and remove bottlenecks.”
In this context, it is relevant to note that the recommendations made
by the CACP to the Government of India recently in fixation of MSP and
movement access:
1)
The procurement norms should be strictly adhered to in the future.
The excess stocks should be liquidated either by selling in the open
market within the country at an appropriate price not below the MSP,
or timely use them for the welfare schemes at subsidized prices
depending on the budget of those schemes.
2)
The government has banned the export of wheat in October 2007 and
prohibited the export of rice in April 2008. These restrictions should
be lifted and since the international market of wheat and rice is pretty
good, the country can export 3-5 million tonnes of rice and 3-5
million tonnes of wheat without any subsidy. But an early decision
making in this regard is the need of the hour.
19
The government has imposed compulsory levy in case of rice to the
millers/dealers to serve its procurement purpose. This levy varies from
50% to 75% across the states which can be shown from the table below:

By banning the export of rice the government has closed the
economy and unduly suppressed the domestic prices of rice. The difference
between the parity price and levy price shows the loss in income to the
domestic producers. In percentage terms this is the amount of implicit
20
taxation to the extent of 16-25%. If the market for rice is opened the
exporters would get a higher price and this would in turn benefit the
paddy farmer also.
The State/Central Governments need to take these issues on board.
The Committee further feels that the MSP, which should be announced in
advance of the season, also needs to be flexible, being able to take into
consideration subsequent and unforeseen changes in the cost of inputs like
fertilizers, diesel, labour charges etc.,
In any case,if the declared MSP is to be useful to the farmers, it
needs to be strictly enforced. Both FCI and Civil Supplies department
should accept responsibility to enforce MSP not leaving farmers to the
mercy of middlemen.
The Committee, however, recognizes the fact that the fixation of a
higher MSP alone may not help in the long run as the farmer’s produce
has to be competitive in the markets within the Country and abroad in
the globalised regime.
The real solution lies in reducing the cost of
cultivation through systematic mechanization and using only the required
level of inputs.
At the same time, market access of agricultural products needs to be freed
from the restrictions of artificial barriers.
21
The present cost of production per quintal is less by Rs.190/- in case
of common variety and Rs.245/- in case of
grade ‘A’ variety when
compared to the MSPs announced by G.O.I. As is evident from the above,
the MSPs presently offered does not cover the cost of production of
A.P.farmers. This is because MSP is worked out at National level on a
weighted average system, taking into consideration the cost of production
of various States. In some States, where labour cost is less or appropriate
machinery are available, MSP would be higher than the cost of production.
While this is so, the Committee feels that there is a dire necessity to
address the plea of A.P. farmers that the MSP needs to be in excess of the
cost of production in order to sustain their interest in paddy cultivation.
This is necessary as action on other issues such as reducing the cost of
cultivation and opening up of
markets, though taken note of by the
Committee and supported by the measures recommended by it, may take
some time. The Committee recommends that this grievance be redressed
by an appropriate gesture overcome the
gap between the cost of
production and the MSP, as a measure of response to the acute distress of
the farming community at the present juncture and in order to address the
crisis of confidence.
Such a step will provide some succour to the farmers, who have
invested in the paddy crop and will, hopefully, encourage farmers to plant
the crop in the future.
22
5) Scale of Finance:
Financial institutions need to increase in the scale of finance of
Paddy from existing Rs. 17,500/-keeping in view the increased cost of
cultivation.
6) Procurement:
As soon as the harvesting is completed, Government should take proactive action to open procurement centers, providing alternate market
channels. The Committee cites that a good beginning has already been
made in this year in procurement by the Government. This effect should
be sustained and stepped up in the coming years to build confidence among
the farmers.
The Civil Supplies Corporation needs to expand the range of actors to
beyond Self Help Groups. It should pro-actively intervene whenever the MSP
is not being realized by the farmers. State Agencies such as A.P MARKFED can
perhaps also be involved. Rythu Mithra Groups/Farmer Groups should be
trained adequately to take up procurement.
The capacity for storing Paddy can also be enhanced through
investments in the Public/Private Partnership mode. The total storage
available in the area is only 17,500 MTs., while facilities are needed for at
23
least 50% of the production.
State Government should ensure that
godowns are created at AMCs so that poor farmers can store their produce
and avail bank loan pledging their stored produce. This can largely prevent
distress sales. Recently, GoAP announced construction of new godowns to
the capacity of 25 lakh MTs. This shall be completed on priority.
7) Implementation of NREGS:
NREGS is a laudable scheme. Its impact on the cost of cultivation,
has, however, to be factored into the approach to promoting agricultural
production through proper adjustments.
Upon consultation with the Department of Rural Development
clarified that NREGS is;
 Only demand driven i.e. when labour demand, work should be
offered.
 Experience has shown that the time when agricultural
operations are at peak, the reporting of the demand for labour
is low.
 We trust that the Panchayats will keep in mind the importance
of works such as desilting of drains and the formation of link
roads, while prioritizing the works.
24
The Committee feels confident that harmonizing the demand for
agricultural labour during the peak agricultural season with the demand for
employment and the selection of activities, will receive due attention.
As per the data out of 100 days of entitlement, the agriculture labour
of Konaseema have availed average days of 32. We hope district
administration will provide work under NREGS in view of employment
shortage arising out of crop holiday. (Annexure 7a, 7b, 7c).
III) To suggest suitable modifications to the cropping schedule in
Konaseema region so that the risks of weather and market
are minimized.
In accordance with the ANGRAU, the following suitable
modifications need to be explored in the affected area of Konaseema.
Kharif
1) The cropping schedule of East Godavari for Kharif may be modified
and transplantations should be completed by 20th June and under any
circumstances harvesting should be completed by first fortnight of
October so that Kharif crop escapes from the heavy rains and
cyclones usually occur in November and December. This can be
done by mechanized planting.
25
2) Where ever farmers want to go for manual methods, they can go for
direct sowing so that cost of cultivation can be reduced by low seed
rate and reduced crop duration which enhances the yield.
3) Raw rice and locally consumed varieties can be recommended.
4) Swarna sub-1 and MTU 1064 can be encouraged in the areas where
submergence conditions reoccur.
Rabi
1) Rabi sowings should be taken up in November and harvest by March
and the crop can escape from summer showers damage.
2) To reduce the cost of cultivation direct sowing can also be
recommended.
3) In some elevated areas maize can be tried as it is more remunerative
with less cost of cultivation.
Summer
Pulses like Green gram and Black gram can be grown. Green manure
crops like Dhiancha, Pilli Pesara, Sunhemp can be grown where ever
pulses are not sown to enrich the soil fertility. The land should not be kept
vacant during summer.
Apart from above recommendations, the package of practices given
by ANGRAU can be adopted to get higher yields.
26
Oil Palm can also be tried in certain mandals. Encouraging
horticultural crops like Cocoa, betelvine and pepper as inter crops and
multiple crops in elevated areas will enhance the incomes of farmers.
Similarly, aquaculture can be encouraged in suitable areas.
IV) To suggest methods of increasing water use efficiency in
Godavari Delta. This is to be achieved both irrigation and
drainage canal system.
 Regular and efficient maintenance and improvement of the irrigation
and drainage system is most essential for enhancing water use
efficiency.
 Crop diversification will also be essential for improving the water
use efficiency.
V) To suggest methods of improving the profitability of paddy
crop, reducing the cost of cultivation:
 Slightly modified SRI can be adopted to improve the profitability of
paddy crop.
 Mechanisation can be popularized Agro-machinery service centers
with the following machinery may be established, to enable the
farmers adopt mechanization on a custom hiring basis.

 To reduce the post harvest losses, farmers may be provided with
large scale driers on a custom hiring basis managed by Agril. Market
Committee or through Private Entrepreneurs on PPP mode.
 To strengthen the extension system to make aware the farmers about
the importance of soil testing, optimum usage of fertilizers,
pesticides to reduce the cost of cultivation.
Other recommendations:
i.
The Committee has witnessed the distress of the farmers of Konaseema
which is regarded as Rice Bowl of Andhra Pradesh accumulated on the
prevailing low prices of Coconut/Copras. The Coconut in Konaseema
region is affected by Eriophyid mite attack, which drastically affects
quality. It appears that the Scientists could not arrive at any solution for
controlling of this pest which has taken the toll of the economy of the
28
region, with 43,202 ha. of coconut plantations in Amalapuram division,
no major industries come for manufacture of Coir. Unless value is
added to the Coconut or Coir, the plight of the farmers will continue.
The Prof. Jayati Ghosh Commission also emphasized the need for more
value added activities, and recommended that emphasis on rural
economic diversification to more value-added activities under nonagricultural activities.
The Committee recommends the opening of a Regional Office of Coir
Board, which has been a demand by the farmers since a long time.
ii.
The farmers of Konaseema are also facing acute inadequacy of labour
for Coconut harvesting.
The Committee recommends that Coconut climbers be deployed on a
priority basis and machinery be provided to the farmers.
iii.
More allocations need to be made for replacing old Coconut gardens in
this region utilizing the scheme available from the Coconut Board.
iv.
The Government of Andhra Pradesh has been taking up number of
measures for the welfare of farmers such as “Paavala Vaddi” (3%
effective net interest at farmers level), interest waiver scheme etc.,
Administrative delays in the grounding of these Schemes need,
however, to be addressed. The Committee was told that the funds are
usually not released on time.
29
The Committee therefore recommends that funds relating to farmers
programmes be released immediately.
v.
The Committee also recommends that whenever there is a crop failure,
insurance claims should be settled without loss of time. Claims in this
region pertaining to the year 2010 are yet to be settled to the farmers.
vi.
It is advisable to introduce MNAIS in East Godavari district to cover
post harvest losses.
vii.
The Government of India has been implementing a number of
programmes for the welfare of the farmers such as RKVY, NFSM Rice
and NFSM Pulses etc. The desirability of extending the NFSM Rice
scheme to this region needs to be examined, so that subsidized paddy
seed and machines/implements can be supplied.
viii.
One of the most important problems is that of spurious pesticides and
fertilizers. The Government needs to be ruthless in addressing this
malaise. There are enough statutorily enabling provisions which need
only to be enforced strictly.
ix.
To generate robust response to the demands of the unique nature of
this region, a multi-disciplinary Research Station needs be set up in this
region to study problems related to Paddy and other farming situations.
The existing research station at Ambajipeta should also do research on
Eriophyid Mite, advocate proper control measures and also encourage
multi-storied cropping systems in Coconut plantations.
30
x.
Infrastructure facilities in the region are very inadequate, one more
reason why the farmer is unable to dispose the crop remuneratively.
Rs.14.94 Crores is reportedly collected as Market Cess in the region.
The Committee recommends that this amount be used for the
development of rural roads (donka roads) threshing yards.
xi.
In order to obviate the profitability of the farmers being exploited in
times of distress, the committee recommends payment of MSP to the
farmers through cheques and putting in place of an effective mechanism
to monitor such payments.
xii.
Integrated farming systems are very important, for providing farm
incomes so that the farmer need not depend on one crop alone. There is,
thus, need to encourage dairying in this area. Forward and backward
linkages for dairy however are not adequate.
The Committee, hence,
recommends that Government encourage the Animal Husbandry and
Dairying sector in this area. An amount of Rs. 5 crores may kindly be
allocated for this purpose.
xiii.
The discomfort in the relationship between the owner farmers and the
tenant farmers is a concern. Government needs to clear the air about the
Loan Eligibility Cards (LEC) and ensure that the tenant farmers access
adequate
credit,
without
the
apprehensions.
31
owners

needless
xiv.
The applications filed by the Konaseema farmers for fishing should be
dealt with on a priority basis as fishing is the only alternative to paddy
in this area.
xv.
It may also be examined whether fisheries can be considered as a part of
Agriculture and no Non Agricultural Land Assessment becomes
collectable. The alternative to paddy is only aquaculture for Konaseema
area. This provision will be of great help to farmers.
It is observed that GoAP is implementing programs for the benefit of
farmers like Pavala Vaddi, Interest waiver on bank loans, input subsidy for
losses in natural calamities and also popularizing Insurance schemes among the
farmers. The Committee noted that an amount of 1648.01 crores was given as
input subsidy during last year. Bank interest is also subsidized over and above
the Government of India interest subvention scheme. The farmer in AP has to
pay only 3% interest. Similarly, Government of India is giving subsidy on
fertilizers and other inputs like Seeds and Machinery under RKVY.
Addressing the concerns recorded by this Committee and favourable
consideration of its recommendations, it is hoped that it helps in consolidation
and strengthen the measures already under the way.
32
Committee has made an attempt to summarize the recommendations
as Immediate, medium and long term measures;
Immediate Measures
1. Administrative:
 Civil Supplies Department to buy the balance of Paddy stocks
available with farmers.
 The Creation of an Assistant Director (HORT.) post in the
Department of Horticulture.
 The creation of an Assistant Director (Fisheries) post.
 While works are taken up under NREGS on a demand basis
preferring the selection of de-silting of drains and forming farm link
roads.
 Implementation of the modified NAIS and weather based crop
insurance scheme in East Godavari district.
 Supplying suitable farm machinery like coconut climbers on war
footing. Necessary extra budget provisions may be made by the
Government
 Providing milch animals under Pasu Kranthi Scheme to eligible
farmers.
 Providing subsidized paddy seed by covering the district under the
NFSM.
 Taking up all pending link / donka roads from the Market Cess.
 Encouraging coconut based village industries.
 Encourage farmers to take up early Rabi Paddy.
 Reducing the cost of cultivation through advocating optimum use of
fertilizers, need based plant protection measures and mechanization.
2. Financial: Nil
3. Legal : Nil
33
4. Operational:
 The closure of canals by 1st April & opening by 15th May.
 De-silting of drains wherever there is no free flow of water.
 Placement of Dhaincha and other green manure seeds on 50%
subsidy to enrich soil fertility.
 The arranging of at least 100 rakes per month by the Railways in the
coming two months to facilitate evacuating of the godowns, so that at
least Kharif and Rabi paddy in this season can be purchased properly.
 Creating CAP storage facilities/silo facilities.
 To remove all the encroachments in revenue drains and fishing nets
across drains, ensuring free flow of water.
Medium term solutions
1. Administrative:
 Modernization of the drainage system.
 The opening of a regional office of the Coir Board in Konaseema
region.
 Encouraging Coconut based industries.
 MSP should have built in flexibility and should be announced much
in advance of the cropping season.
 Announcement of export policy much in advance and initiating
transparent and explicit export duty regime if necessary.
 Reconciliation of areas of cultivation among revenue, agriculture,
irrigation and statistics departments to project actual expected area
and yields at the mandal, district and State levels.
34
 Training farmers to take up marketing/procurement, besides
providing them required facilities.
 To take up construction of godowns in all mandal headquarters
where godowns are not available. Available godown in Amalapuram
division is for 17,500 MTs. Capacity, while total paddy expected
from this revenue division is 3.32 lakh MTs. At least godown
capacity shall be created for 50% of production. This is utmost
necessary in a place like Amalapuram where cyclones, floods are
common. Recently, GoAP announced a programme of constructing
godowns for 25 lakh MTs. capacity. Special provision may be given
to Konaseema region under this scheme.
2. Financial: Nil
3. Legal: Nil
4. Operational: Nil
Long Term Measures
1. Administrative:
 To declare existing market yards into regulated market yards.
 To create 3000 agro service centers in the next 3 – 4 years.
2. Financial: Nil
3. Legal: Nil
4. Operational:
 To diversify Paddy area to better remunerative crops like oil palm,
maize etc. If there is crop diversification in other paddy growing
districts of the State like West Godavari, Krishna for oil palm, there
35
will be more demand for paddy in East Godavari. Out of 4.20 lakh
ha. identified suitable for oil palm cultivation only 1.11 lakh ha. has
so far been covered. Other potential areas need to be explored and
covered. At least another 2.5 lakh ha. can perhaps be brought under
oil palm cultivation.
The Committee observes that, while some urgent and important
concerns have now manifested themselves in relation to the paddy crop in
Konaseema area, the issues in question are fundamental in nature and
indicative of the direction in which the country’s agricultural system is
headed.
What is visible now is only the tip of the ice-berg. Grave
consequences can follow if the big picture is missed. Demand-driven
research, a contemporary and effective extension system, improved early warning and forecasting systems, expanded and creative use of ICT in
information dissemination, timely and adequate availability of, and
accessibility to, credit and risk management products, and inputs such as
seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and machinery, organising a robust response to
the imperatives of climate-change, improved post harvest facilities
including storage processing and marketing, are only some among the
range of issues needing urgent and purposeful attention.
To this end the Committee strongly recommends the establishment of
a holistic, dedicated, trans-disciplinary mechanism at the National, State
36
and District levels, to undertake a 24x7 “environmental – scan” to spot the
threats and opportunities, and disseminate value-added information to
appropriate destinations, in order empower the farming community on a
real-time and on-line basis.
The ATMA at the District level, SAMETI at the State-level and an
appropriate mechanism at the National level can be thought of in this
context.
What were called the Kharif and Rabi plans became Campaigns and
need now to transit to a Mission mode. The availability of technology,
supply of inputs, provision of market intelligence and increasing the
staying capacity of the farmers all need to be handled as a composite
function not a sequence of disjointed tasks by a team that functions with
“chemistry” within and amongst its members rather than mere “physics” as
at present.
From ICAR and DOAC/DAHD through ISRO, IMD, RBI, and the
Ministries of Finance & Commerce, all agencies at the National level need
to consolidate their efforts in an inclusive, complementary and mutually
reinforcing manner in these missions. Plans of action should be formulated
with specific deliverables and milestones, and tested (much in the way
Disaster Management Plans are) through drills and rehearsals so that there
is a pro-active ability to respond to unforeseen situations.
37
In the absence of such an effort at all levels, the stop-go, and kneejerk reactions, on the part of the individual Departments/Agencies,, will
continue and prove woefully inadequate the daunting task ahead of them.
