Dec - PRECISION AGRICULTURE & AGRI: THE ROAD AHEAD & Operation Green & PULSES SCENARIO
P
Operation Green
Issues
price volatility remains
high as ever
farmers share in consumer´s rupee
low as 26.6% for potatoes
29..1% for onions
32.4% for tomatoes
Challenges
Making MoFPI
nodal agency for
implementing OG
with faceless leaders
Pulses Scenario
Way Forward
Trade Policy key emphasis
should be laid down in stabilizing
domestic production levels
in sustainable manner
with balance btw
price and non-price interventions
ensuring adequate
incentives to farmers
PA
Ashok Dalwai Committee
7 strategies identified
improvement in crop and
livestock productivity
efficient use of resources
to save in production cost
diversification of crops
better price realization
shift to non-farm jobs
Way Forward
urgent need
to provide policy push
strategic policy formulation
effective implementation
should be robust
at CG and SG levels
PPP model
foster ownership and
inclusive growth
among all stakeholders
AGRI
Policy Option way forwards
recent Farm Bills
freed from designated markets for farmers
and free to sale their products
anywhere to get maximum price
introduce competition
in sale of produce
farmers will be benefitted
E
Operation Green
E.g. lesson from Milk Sector
Operation Flood
farmers get almost
75-80% of consumers pay
making the country
world´s largest milk producer
separate board
to implement and strategies
the OG scheme
on lines of OF
need a champion like
Verghese Kurien
Quantifiable and transparent criteria
selection of commodity clusters
PA
Need for 3rd Tech-revolution in Agri
1st Agri Revolution (AR)
focused on mechanisation of agri (1900-40s)
where farmer
produced-and-fed
avg 26 people
2nd AR
directed towards
Green Revolution (1960-90s)
where farmers
could feed about 155 people
by adoption of
improved seeds
evolved-farming system
agro-management technologies
3rd AR
1990s onwards
focus on adoption of
Hi-end tech, cloud based solutions
data-driven
decision making in agri
farm management systems
usage of analytical tools
for post-harvest and
marketing of agri produce
then only farmer
can feed about 256 people
Challenges in adopting PA
banking and financial
institutional systems
have preferential bias
in financing
AGRI Way forward
focus on exploring
harnessing export markets
will give higher
return to farmers
increased
foreign exchange reserves
Investment in R&D
internal rate of return on investment
in agri research
estimated more than 42%
higher than other sectors
invest in new tech and teaching
Pulses Scenario
Production of pulses
reached record levels
231.LMT in 2016-17
254.2 LMT in 2017-18
however
fluctuation in production levels
is still witnessed
contributed to
adverse price movements
Procurement of pulses
at MSP in Price Support Scheme (PSS)
under the PM-AASHA
S&E
OG Future Challenges
growing population
poses challenges
to food and nutritional securities
exacerbated
declining
soil health, nutrient content
occurrence of new biotic stresses
and frequent droughts and floods
climate change
62% cultivated land is rain-fed
UNICEF
India
10th spot in no of underweight children
17th position for
no of stunted children in 2019
PA
Challenges in adopting PA
Primarily consists
small and marginal land holdings
not fully aware of benefits of PA
not familiar
in using of tech based agri systems
Socio-economics factors
Indian farmers
generally reluctant
to try something new
Way forward
requires more of mind-set shift
cultural transformation
in both
bottom-up approach
top-down approach
T
PA
process of tech
enabled and integrated approach
to agri crop management system
comprises
observation, measurement, and analysis
needs of individual fields of farmers
and crops in the regions
productivity and farmers income
sig enhanced
Benefits of PA
improved
set of agri production practices
and chocie of crops
based on
land and climate
suitability of localised
optimising input-resources
like water, fertilisers,
plant-protection measures
against pest and diseases
Challenges in adopting PA
IT infrastucture systems
service facilities
to agri sectors inadequate
OG Technology Innovation way forward
crops could improve
through genomics
through CRISPR-CAS 9
resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses
and better in quality of produce
give freedom to scientists
country get benefitted
Use of drones
manage and protect the crops
Micro-irrigation systems
save water and double the yields
Pulses Scenario Way Forward
Scientific storage
and its decentralisation
are key infrastructure
to ensure smooth
availability round the year
and stability in prices
Context
Agri production
in 2019 was valued at 459 billion
fetches more revenue
than services and manufacturing
workforce engagement
sharply declined
India is Primary
rural based economy
over 60% of population
still relies on agri
and rural system
primary source of income
for their livelihoods
geography
17.9% of global population
lives on 2.4% land and
5% water resources of world
Operation Green
objectives
build efficient value chains
give larger share of consumers rupee
to farmers
from fresh to value-added products
Pulses
crucial element
in the food basket of vegetarian population
to ensure nutritional security
bestow
immense positive externalities
environment enriching
soil fertility and
being a water efficient crop
Conclusion
PA
not only need of the hours
but also
has potential in increasing
agri farm incomes
facilitating empowerment
of farming community
and creating large scale
impact in rural india
need to step up
production by around 30%
to feed expected 1.7 billion people by 2050
strengthening
research and development and innovations
imp step for Indian agriculture
series of policy changes
needed to give emphasis
on tech and skill-intensive agri
