Introduction : Agriculture occupies a very important place in the economy of Mizoram. In the Economical classification of workers as per 2001 census, majority of the population ie. 61.37 % are cultivators who are engaged in Agricultural activities mostly by practicing ‘jhum’ cultivation. As per the Agriculture census (2001) there were 65,920 operational holdings with a total operated area of 85,000 hectares. Out of the total number of holdings 42.04% is marginal, 39.00% small, 17.83% semi medium, 1.11% medium and 0.01% large holdings. Paddy continues to remain the principal food crop and the stable food of the Mizo. The per annum rice requirement of the state is 1,85,950 MT (@ 450 gm per capita consumption per day for the projected population of 11,48,000). During 2009-2010, the area under paddy cultivation was 47,714 hectares of which 36,841 hectares are under jhum and 10,363 hectares are under WRC with a total rice production of 46,290 MT In spite rice being the most important crop occupying the largest share in area and production. Mizoram is still not self sufficient in rice production. The total rice production in 2009-2010 could meet only 25% of the total consumption requirement of rice in the state. The following strategies are initiated to strengthen the food grain production in order to attain the food security - 1. Expansion of Cultivation are through On-Farm Development works. The total WRC Potential Area (WRC PA) is 74,644 hectares which account for 3.54% of the total geographical area. The area under crop production is only 10,363 hectares and the remaining areas of 64,281 hectares need further development. 2. Enhancement of Productivity and increased area coverage : The average productivity of Kharif rice is about 1.5 MT/ha. and summer rice is 1.70 MT/ha. The yield levels is low compared to national productivity and production. Attempts is being made to increase the productivity from present position to 4.00 MT/Ha. 3. Adoption of improved package of practices 4. Increase in area under early maturing high yielding varieties and rice hybrids. 5. Promotion of new/improved resources conservation technologies such System of Rice Intensification (SRI). 6. Mechanized rice cultivation to reduce the cost of cultivation and make rice cultivation more profitable. 7. 8. Popularization of INM and IPM. Increase the area under Rabi/Summer rice 9. Conversion of jhum land area into permanent cultivated tracts particularly for oil palm cultivation with a target of 61,000 ha. 10. Making available more number of farm machineries to the farmers at subsidized rate ( like Tractor, Power Tiller etc including water pump and Micro irrigation needs). 11. Development of Rain water harvesting structure for domestic use and life saving Irrigation, bio-filtration and water recycling 12. Judicious use of fertilizers, bio-fertilizers and organic manure for enhancing per capita consumption of 66.90 kg/ha to 120kg/ha. 3.Practices :3.1 Oil Palm Cultivation: Oil Palm Development Programme under the Integrated Scheme of Oilseeds, Pulses, Oil Palm and Maize (ISOPOM) CSS was taken up (75:25 basis) in Mizoram since 2004-2005. Major thrust is given on the oil palm cultivation in order to decrease area under jhum cultivation where the net revenue returns per hactare tend to be higher. The area covered under Oil Palm since inception of the scheme (2004-2005) and up to 2009-2010 is 6521 ha. spreading in Kolasib, Mamit, Serchhip and Lunglei Districts During 2010-2011, it is targeted to cover an expansion area of 2500 ha. covering the District of Lawngtlai, Lunglei, Serchhip, Mamit and Kolasib District in 500 ha. each. 3.2 Agril. Machineries & Equipments : Special Scheme of subsidy as part of NLUP have been introduced of which the quantum of subsidy have been raised from Rs. 60,000/- to Rs. 90,000/- for Power Tiller, from Rs. 1.00 lakh to Rs. 2.00 lakh for Tractors. A Special provision for Mini Power Tiller @ Rs. 60,000/- have also been made. Therefore, 413 nos. of Power Tiller ,55 nos. of Tractors and about 50 nos. of Mini Power Tiller were distributed to the farmers. About 1000 nos. of Water Pump set, were also distributed to needy farmers at subsidized rate. 4. STATE POLICY AND INITIATIVES • New Land Use Policy (NLUP) is an integrated & comprehensive planning and implementation of the same to translate into action the vision of the Government to make “New Mizoram”, through Transformation Development Model • Hon’ble Prime Minister announced in his public meeting at Aizawl on 25th Nov 2008 that NLUP will be re-introduced in Mizoram if Congress is voted to power. Objectives of NLUP • Making of a new Mizoram (Zoram Thar) through socio-economic transformation development. • To wean away farmers from Jhuming practices to adopt sustainable on farm and off farm economic activities. • To introduce commercial farming in lieu of subsistence farming/cultivation Objectives of NLUP • To restore ecological balance through rejuvenation of forest cover, improvement of surface and water management, introduction of new forest and land management system. • To create food security for all • To improve income level of Urban and Rural poor through sustainable farming activities, Micro enterprise & Cottage industries. Objectives of NLUP • Security of farmers: Crop/animal/farmers insurance and introduction of hand-holding policy between farmers and industries, in lieu of contract/captive farming. • Protection of land for the farmers and the community. Project Components of NLUP • To uplift 1,20,000 families over 5 years’ period • Project cost including beneficiary contribution of Rs 346.15 Crores .
