Maharashtra’s Response to Agriculture
Historical Perspective
• First State to adopt Dry Land Farming Technology.
• Pioneer in Horticulture Development through EGS to promote
higher income & more employment in farming sector
• State Seed Corporation – First farmers company in seed sector
• Pioneers in Co-operative network
– Sugar factories, Dairies,Water user association.
• Corporate Horticulture Company
• Four State Agricultural Universities
• Very effective & Research based Farmers Organisations
Major Emerging Concerns
• Un-viable farming
• Lack of diverification in Crops & Other activities in Vidarbha &
Marathwada
• Land locked areas in Marathwada & Vidarbha
– Lack of infrastructures, markets, roads, railway rake points, airport
• Infrastructural Bottle necks
– Roads, Market facility, irrigation, Tribal area
– Input dissemination , poor credit, Bank facility

Strategy
 Bridging Yield Gaps
 Increasing & improvement in irrigation
 improving irrigation, coverage of watershed, Massive Farm pond
programme & drip irrigation
 Improvement in Market Infrastructure
 collaboration with the external agencies
 Improvement in Communication
 Roads, ICT & Strengthening the enter relationship by convergence
 Empowering Farmer through
 Market & Price discovery
 Training in skills to earn higher income
 Preparing for exploiting global opportunities in fruits & vegetables
 While emphasizin dual approach increase in farmers income food security, will be
given equal impotiance.

•
SC & ST farmers should be trained in Modern Farming,
agri business, Dairy Horticulture etc.
•
Priority in Land development, Farm ponds &
mechanisation
•
At least one youth from each family will trained in
Horticulture, dairy & other avenues like dairy, poultry,
sericulture, bee-keeping, Medicinal plants to generate
income and employment.
•
This will be done through training of this youth
through the RAMETI & SAMETI
Region based Crop strategies
• Konkan
– Paddy - Increase area under Hy. Rice, Use of Urea DAP briquettes ,
Popularising “Chatu-Sutri”-Four point paddy production technology
– Cashewnut - Area expansion , Productivity enhancement , Promotion of organic
cashew
– Mango - Area expansion under Alphonso , Post harvest management including
better transportation of mango, Adoption of GAP
– Construction of Konkan Jalkund, Check dams, Diversion Bundhara
• Western Maharashtra & Khandesh
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Sugarcane - increase productivity & release area for foodgrains and soybean
Soybean – increase area & productivity
Grapes & Banana – major stress on export
Pomegranate - area expansion in DPAP blocks
Floriculture & high value vegetables- cultivation under controlled conditions
Promote organic fruits & vegetables
More emphasis on ICM & IPM for horticultural crops like Pomegranate, Grapes
Promote floriculture & Cold chain
Region based Crop strategies
• Marathwada
– Cotton - Increase the yield & promote Clean & quality cotton
– Maize - Increase the area for cattle feed & industrial use
– Oilseeds & pulses - Bridge the yield gaps
– Promote the cultivation of sweet oranges, mangoes & banana
– Kharif sorghum - Promote industrial use
– Discourage the cultivation of sugarcane and divert the area
under soybean & gram
– Promote protective irrigation through the farm ponds, dug
wells and other water harvesting structures
Region based Crop Strategies
VIDARBHA
• Paddy- SRI method for increasing productivity
• Soybean- increase the area & productivity
• Cotton- promoting Clean & quality cotton through contract farming, reduction in
cost of cultivation through INM & IPM
• Organic cotton & mandarin promotion campaign
• Pulses – promoting as intercrop in soybean and cotton
• Mandarin Orange – improving the quality & productivity through improved
packages of cultivation and quality planting material
• Promoting PHM of mandarin orange through better packing , transportation &
preservation
• Promoting Public Private partnership to develop clusters of pulses, vegetables,
flowers & fruits for the ultimate market in the urban areas
• Water harvesting through farm ponds, dug wells, check dams, malgujari tanks &
bodis
Mechanization in Agriculture
• Promoting small planters and harvesters in paddy & sugarcane
• Promoting mechanization for Orchards Management
• Promoting custom hiring facility for farmers through State Farms.
• Promoting grading & processing facility for soyabean
• Dal Mills
• Sugarcane Rotavators
• Harvesters in Wheat and soyabean
Seed Infrastructure Facilities
• MSSCL & NSC is major public sector organisation in seed
production and distribution
• 156 Private seed producers
• Private & Public sector produces 18 lakh qtls. seed
• 150 Seed processing Plants

 Massive programme for distribution of soil analysis including
micro nutrients & distribution of Soil Health Cards
 A massive drive of testing 2,20,000 soil samples ( 5 from each
village) are taken during 2008-09 .
 Help to generate fertility index maps for all the villages .
 This maps in turn will enable us to bring qualitative
improvement in nutrient management.

•
•
•
•
•
During 2005-08, cooperative credit 110%, 118%
& 84% of target down to 39% in 2008-09
Liquidity crunch, reluctance of banks to extend
loan to debt waiver beneficiaries, one third Bank
with negative networth main cause.
Unhappiness of regular payers with debt waiver,
delayed monsoon, dry spells additional causes.
State package for 40 Lakh farmers with Rs. 6200 cr
outlay - fresh defaulters amongst regular players
regularised.
Except OTS beneficiaries of GoI & GoM all the
farmers (100lakh) now eligible for fresh loans.

• 38 Lakh beneficiaries of Central waiver at Rs. 7800 cr.,
32 Lakh farmers get full waiver.
• Response from 6 lakh OTS farmers - only 6%
• 40 lakh beneficiaries of State waiver, 24 lakh farmers
get full waiver upto Rs. 20000, OTS farmers response
40 % so far.
• At least 56 lakh full waiver farmers freshly eligible for
crop loans.
• Main hurdle of fresh loans removed; reluctance of
banks to finance debt waiver farmers continues.
Initiatives taken by State Government
• 1% additional interest waiver on crop loan:6% rate of
interest; Rs. 130 crores provided every year.
• 4% rebate to regular payer upto Rs 25000, 2% rebate
beyond Rs 25000 upto Rs 3 Lakh; Rs. 50 cr provided
every year to cooperatives.
• GoI to adopt similar scheme for regular borrowers of
commercial Banks / RRB.
• Credit flow to 40 lakh farmers in one year targeted to
make double to 80 lakh farmers during current year.
Flow of crop credit : Steps needed
• Balance claims of Debt waiver (Rs. 4000 cr)
Vaidyanathan Package (Rs. 2000cr) and 2% interest
subvention (100%)to be released.
