Overview of Chhattisgarh
1.
Geography and Climate 1.1. Geographical Features –
Geographically, Chhattisgarh is divided into three distinct land areas viz. –
I.
Chhattisgarh Plains,
II.
Bastar Plateau and
III.
Northern Hill Zones.
In the north of the state are the mighty Satpura Ranges, in the centre the plains of
River Mahanadi and its tributaries and in the South is the plateau of Bastar. The state
receives annual rainfall ranging from less than 1200 mm to greater than 1600 mm in
different areas. The border of Chhattisgarh is touched by the states Uttar Pradesh in
the North, Bihar and Jharkhand in the North East, Odissa in the East, Andhra Pradesh
in the South and South East, Maharashtra in South West and Madhya Pradesh in the
West.
1.2.
General climatic features –
The general climate of Chhattisgarh state is dry sub-humid type. The
average annual rainfall of the region is around 1400 mm and about 90 to 95 percent of
this amount is received during South-West monsoon season (June-October). The
monsoon sets in around 10th June at the tip of the Bastar area and covers the entire
area by 25th June. Months of July and August are the wettest months. Three Rainfall
occurs in the month of October due to cyclonic activity in the Bay of Bengal and
October rainfall is most crucial for the productivity of rice in the state.
Winter conditions sets in from mid November when the average
minimum temperature starts falling below 150C. The northern districts especially
Sarguja division has more severe and longer winter period as compared to the
southern parts.
The atmospheric humidity is very high (>90%) during monsoon
months and starts decreasing from October onwards and reaches as low as 15-20
percent during peak summer months.
The climatic conditions with annual rainfall and temperature condition
is very conducive for growing various horticultural crops. The shorter period of winter
season in most part of the state is very favourable for growing frost prone crops.
1.3.
Soil type The soils of Chhattisgarh vary considerably in the three agro-climatic
zones. Though the nomenclature is different, the types of the soils especially the
physical properties are the same. The different soils that exist in the three agroclimatic zones are as follows Chhattisgarh Plains
Bastar Plateau
Northern hills
Bhata (Lateritic)
Marhan (Coarse sandy)
Hilly soils
Matasi (Sandy loam)
Tikra (Sandy)
Tikra
Dorsa (Clay loam)
Mal (Sandy loam)
Goda chawar
Page 2
Kanhar (Clay)
Gabhar (Clay & Clay loam)
Bahara
The first two categories of the soils in the three Agro climatic zones are
very light type of soils with very low water retention capacity. As a result water stress
or drought conditions may prevail either during the crop growing season when there is
a break of monsoon for more than 5-7 days or immediately after the withdrawal of
monsoon. In Bastar plateau and northern hill zone; rice is grown in upland conditions
without bunds and they are called uplands. In Chhattisgarh plains; rice is mostly
grown under bunded condition.
Therefore, there is an urgent need to diversify cropping pattern
wherever conditions are favorable to grow horticultural crops and to earn higher net
profit in unit area.
1.4.
Agro-climatic zones –
Agro-climatically, Chhattisgarh may be divided into 3 distinct agro
climate zones with immense potential of horticulture development.

Demographic characteristics Total population of the state is about 25.54 million with 19.60 million
people residing in rural area constituting more than 77% of the total population. The
Scheduled Caste population consists of 11.61% of the total population and Scheduled
Tribe population constitutes 31.80% population of the state. The tribal population of
the state primarily depends on the forest based resource and kitchen garden (Badi) for
their livelihood. Education system in Chhattisgarh needs greater attention especially
in female education. The literacy rate is 61.07% as compared to the national rate of
65.38%. The literacy rates are still lower in rural areas particularly in tribal districts

like Bastar, Surguja, Jashpur and Raigarh districts.
Present Status of Horticulture in the State
1. Present Status of Horticultural Crops
Chhattisgarh has often been dubbed rice bowl of Central India, with the main crop
being Paddy. Apart from paddy, cereals like maize, kodo-kutki and other small millets, pulses like tur
and kulthi and oilseeds like Groundnut, Soybean, Niger and Sunflower are also grown. Yet
productivity is not very high. This brought a new thrust in the sector of Horticulture, as the region is
also suitable for growing Mango, Banana, Guava and other fruits and a variety of vegetables.
Horticulture is growing popularity owing to the high value of horticulture produces
than agriculture crops. However, there needs to be a greater impetus in boosting the irrigation
resources of the state and promoting horticulture in intensive mode. According to the old and existing
data, a brief analysis is made on the status of Horticulture in the state which is furnished below.
However, fresh efforts are being made to generate and compile statistical data through systematic
data collection on Horticulture crops in the state with the help of ORG NIELSEN.
A. Fruit Crops The major fruit crops grown in Chhattisgarh state are Mango, Cashew-nut, Guava,
Banana, Papaya, Lime, Jack fruit, Litchi, etc. Apart from these major fruit crops minor fruits like
Sitafal, Bael, Ber, Anola, Sapota etc., are also grown both as cultivated and wild crop. The total area
of the fruit crops in the state is 199018 ha. along with the production of 1730831 Mt. in the year
2012-13.
Agro climatically Mango can be grown in the whole part of the state successfully
while the northern hilly area of Sarguja and Jashpur district is suitable for production of Litchi.
Cashew nut can be grown well in the plateau region of Bastar & Raigarh district.
B. Vegetables Mostly all vegetable crops like Solaneious crops, Cucurbits, Beans, Cabbage,
Cauliflower etc., are grown very well in the state. The total area of vegetable crops in the state was
recorded 377212 ha. in the year 2012-13 with the production of 4965331 Mt.
C. Spices Chilli, Ginger, Garlic, Turmeric, Coriander & Methi are the major spices grown in the
state. The total area of spices recorded in year 2012-13 was 92769 ha. with the production of 632031
Mt.
D. Flowers Area under flower cultivation is negligible in the state. With the formation of new
state the demand of flowers is increasing day-by-day. To meet out the growing demand of flowers it
is essential to promote commercial floriculture among the farmers.
The major flowers like Marigold, Tuberose, Gladiolus, Roses, Gaillardia,
Chrysanthemum, etc. can be grown very well with little effot. Gerbera, Orchid and Anthurium and
other flower crop which are being cultivated in open condition. The present area under floriculture in
the state is 9801 ha. with the production of 37744 Mt. approximately in the year 2012-13.
E. Aromatic & Medicinal Plants The medicinal crops grown in the state are Ashwagandha, Serpagandha, Satawar,
Butch, Aonla, Tikhur etc. Some aromatic crops like Lemongrass, Pamarosa, Jamarosa, Patchauli,
E.citridora and Vitever (Kus) are promoted by the department for commercial cultivation among
farmers.
Page 4
The present area of aromatic and medicinal crops in the state is 10270 ha. with the
production of 60282 Mt. in the year 2012-13.
2. Existing physical resources in terms of infrastructural facilities
A. Nurseries –
There are 112 departmental nurseries situated in different blocks of 27 districts in the
state. Most of these nurseries were established during the period of 1982 to 1986. As the
establishment of these nurseries is very old, they need to be strengthened and rejuvenated in all
aspects.
B. Orchards Among 112 departmental nurseries the major fruit orchards are of Mango, Cashew,
Litchi, Guava etc. In some orchards other fruits like Pear (Naspati), Sweet-lime (Musambi), Ber etc.,
are also grown in various districts.
In horticulture nurseries about 250 ha. Mango orchards are developed. They are
presently used as a source of mother trees for propagation of mango grafts.
14 ha. orchards of Cashew nut are developed in the nurseries of Bastar, Dantewada &
Kanker districts. Regional nurseries for Cashew-nut plantation have been developed in the district of
Dantewada (Poorantari - 8 ha.), Kondagaon (Kopabeda - 2 ha.), with the assistance of Cashew
Development Board.
Litchi orchards have been developed in 5 ha. area (approx.), in 7 nurseries of Sarguja
district and Raigarh (2 ha.), Balrampur (1.5 ha.), Surajpur (2 ha.), Jashpur (1 ha.) area of Litchi.
Naspati orchard is developed in Sarguja (7 nurseries), Korea (1 nursery) & Jashpur (2 nurseries)
districts, Sweet lime orchard is developed in Raigarh (1 nursery) district, Jack-fruit is developed in
Durg (2 nurseries) districts, Pomegranate is developed in Kabirdham (3 nurseries), Raigarh (1
nursery) & Kondagaon (3 nurseries) districts, Sapota is developed in Raigarh (4 nurseries), Jagdalpur
(1 nursery) & Kondagaon (1 nusery) districts, Coconut is developed in Raigarh (4 nurseies) and
Cashew-nut is developed in Raigarh (1 nursery), Bastar (4 nurseries) and Kondagaon (1 nusery)
districts.
C. Seed production farms There is only one seed production farm situated at Bana in Raipur district. The area of
vegetable seed production farm Bana is 75 acres. Seed production program of vegetables like
Tomato, Brinjal, Chili, Okra, Cowpea, French Bean, Pea, Onion and Potato is taken in this farm.
Hybrid seed production program was taken for first time in collaboration with Niraml Seed Company
in PPP mode.
The seed is produced from breeder seed to foundation seed and further from
foundation to certified seed. The total seed produced in Bana farm was 16 qtl. OP seed of vegetable
crops, 50 kg. hybrid seed of Bitter gourd and 500 qtl. of potato in year 2011-12.
D. Present Irrigation Scenario In Chhattisgarh region about 30% of net cropped area was under irrigation in 2011-12
where as the average national irrigation was about 40%. The irrigation is characterized by a high
order of variability ranging from 0.00% in Dantewada to 82% in Raipur. Based on an average
growth trend in irrigated area, about 0.43% additional area is brought under irrigation every year as
compared to 1.89% in M.P. and 1.0% in the country as a whole. Thus irrigation has been growing
at a very low rate in Chhattisgarh and the pace of irrigation is so slow that it would take about 122
years to reach the 75% level of net irrigated area in Chhattisgarh with present rate of growth. To
solve this problem, there is a great need to understand as to how the existing irrigation sources can
meet this important requirement.
Chhattisgarh is the state without power deficit. With the help of NHM, the
Page 5
harnessing of the surface and sub-surface water resources is possible by strengthening the existing
irrigation infrastructure.
Micro Irrigation :
In the existing scheme running in the state, the brief about the micro-irrigation system
viz. Drip and Sprinkler Syetems of irrigation installed at the fields of beneficiaries since 2005-06 to

E. Training centres There are two training centers established for training of rural horticulture extension
officer & gardener at Bilaspur (Sarkanda Farm) & Jagdalpur (Kerlapal Farm). At present these two
training centers are not functional and needs to be strengthened.
One canning and preservation training center for fruits & vegetables has been
established at Raipur, to provide training especially to rural women for processing and value addition
of excess horticultural produce at domestic level.
F. Processing centres Grading and processing of horticultural crops is important component under Post
Harvest Management. Due to lack of capital and poor investment condition of farmers, processing of
the horticulture produce is very negligiable. Most of the produce is either directly sold from farmgate or went to market, even without value addition like grading, cleaning and washing.
Horticulture department has provided facilities for grading and processing of
Page 6
horticultural produce under NHM and RKVY. Many units have been established in the different
production clusters on trail basis.
In private sector there are three major food processing units, namely Tomato
based, Mango based and Cashew-nut processing unit. Unripen Mango are used for preparation of
Amchoor (dired Mango flacks). This is the major home/cottage industry especially in the Bastar
region where most of Mango crop is harvested when Mango are big enough and unripen to make
amchoor. This amchoor is sold directly in market for local consumption or purchased by local traders
for catering the need of food processing and spice industry. Due to this reason only, Mango insipite
of being largest fruit crop, the ripen fruits are not reach in the market.
Another major area of processing is Cashew-nut processing. In private sector there are
4 major units 3 of them are working in Bastar region. Tomato is also a potential area in the state. One
major unit is established in Durg (Bhilai). Apart from this one Tomato processing unit (500
Mt./Annum) is also established in Jashpur district under RKVY scheme.
Implementation Strategy
The state of Chattisgarh has some unique strengths, weaknesses and opportunities that
need to be addressed and tapped to develop horticulture sector in the state.
i.
Though the state has geared up the production of horticulture by increased
yield in the state through NHM but there has been considerable post harvest
loss of the produce due to lack of post harvest management practices. Thus
the net production of crops reduces considerably and return to the farmers is
also not as desired.
ii.
Inputs for increased production of horticulture crops that promote area
expansion like irrigation facilities and timely supply of quality planting
materials are also lacking.
iii.
There is virtually no facility available for proper collection and storage of
surplus products at the farm gate level and above as well as presence of any
organized market network from rural market to terminal market level.
iv.
Lack of exposure of both the farmers and departmental staff towards modern
horticulture practices as well as orientation to work under mission
management mode also creates barrier to implement the program effectively.
v.
Absence of forecasting facilities both in terms of weather, disease and price
of the products makes the position of the farmers vulnerable and increases the
risk factor manifold.
These intrinsic weaknesses coupled with excessive use of chemical fertilizers and
Page 7
pesticides in some pockets is harming the ecological balance and ultimately will reduce the
productivity of the crops.
