4. Progress on APMC Act • Draft Amendment Bill has been approved by the Cabinet for introduction in this session of the Assembly • Based on Model Act • Contract farming clause provided for • Private Market Yards enabled

5. HORTICULTURE MISSION • Formation of State Horticulture Socie ty ordered by Govt. – Registration awaited • Annual Action Plan for 2005-06 for Rs.90cr submitted. • Advance Action initiated for sourcing Planting Material • Sensitisation of Collectors and Horticulture Officers • State level Technical Group formed

6. ENHANCING SUSTAINABILITY OF DRY LAND RAIN FED FARMING • On-farm water conservation through individual farm ponds to provide support irrigation and help grow a second low-duty crop in 8 DPAP Districts along with other components - liquid bio-fertilizers Vermi composting • Designs prepared for varying farm sizes with technical inputs from WTCER, Bbsr • Should be extended to non-DPAP districts and 750 mm rainfall criteria should be changed

7. MICRO-IRRIGATION • Demands from farmers is not very much. • Extension and demonstration will have to be stepped up • During 2005-06 implementation will be on a low scale perhaps • Work Plan will be submitted after rate of subsidy and other parameters are indicated

8. Thrust areas • Crop Diversification • Horticulture – cashew / mangoes / spices/ vegetables • Oilseeds- Ground Nut/ Sesamum/Niger • Pulses- Arhar • Cotton • Sugarcane • Dryland Farming : improving sustainability and cropping intensity • Enhancing Seed replacement • Increasing cropping intensity by Paddy-Pulses/Oilseeds cropping sequences in rice fallows • Farm mechanisation

9. Crop-wise Diversification Programme Area in ’000 hectare

10. Crop Achievement – 2004 (Kharif)

11. Likely Crop Achievement – 2004-05 (Rabi)

12. Crop Programme – 2005 (Kharif)

13. Cotton 2004-05 Area covered (’000 ha) - 46 Productivity (Kg/ha) - 391 Production (’000 bales) - 106 2005-06 Area Programmed (‘000 ha) - 70

14. Cotton - Interventions • Micro level planning. • Improvement of marketing. • Marketing Infrastructure facility. • Provision of Grading Instruments in market yards. • Integrated Pest Management. • Testing of private hybrids like Bunny, Sri Tulasi etc by OUAT and developing a public hybrid/ variety. • Orissa is a non-traditional cotton growing state where the entire production is LONG STAPLE. To facilitate marketing Orissa should be declared as a long staple zone.

15. Sugarcane • 2004-05 (anticipated) • Area covered (’000 ha) - 35 • Productivity (MT/ha) - 73 • Production (’000 MT) - 2550 • Additional area programmed For next 2 years (’000 ha) - 35 During 2005-06 (’000 ha) - 22 • Focus on mill based approach for promoting sugarcane cultivation around the sugar factories. • Micro level planning. • Seed multiplication programme in 1200 acres. • Subsidy on seed-cane is being contemplated as a new initiative

16. Pulses and Oilseeds

17. Pulses and oilseeds Interventions • Cultivation of newly released high yielding varieties.Increasing Seed Replacement Ratio (SRR). • Increasing area under sunflower and mustard during rabi. • Application of gypsum in groundnut crop. • Integrated Nutrient Management. • Intensifying Integrated Pest Management programme. • Upgradation of farmers’ knowledge through demonstration and training.

18. Pulses Oilseeds Strategy • Diversification of uplands from paddy .Mixed Cropping if complete diversion not acceptable. • Cultivation of pulses in rice fallows during rabi. • Seed Village Programme under groundnut. Using area under groundnut during kharif for production of of seeds for rabi for substantial increase of Rabi area. • Emphasis on moisture conservation management. • Oilseed and pulses cultivation in the tail end of irrigation ayacut during rabi. • Creation of irrigation potential for summer crops. • Big Minikit intervention for area expansion in rice fallows

19. Crop Diversification Strategy • Existing paddy area - 39.60 lakh ha • Upland Paddy Area - 8.00 lakh Ha • Diversification planned - 7.00 lakh ha • Planned Diversion 2005 - 1.60 lakh Ha • District wise planning done based on crop possibilities in given agro-climatic zones • District plans further disintegrated to Block level plans

20. FERTILISER For Rabi 2004-05 over and above ECA allocation of 69,000 MTs, an additional allocation of 7500 MTs has been made. For Kharif’2005, 3.40 lakh MT of Urea has been allocated to the State under ECA ISSUES • Timely despatch. • Besides IFFCO and NFCL, NFL should also be a supplier under ECA.

21. Seed • Variety-wise breeder seed requirement should be met with. • GOI to facilitate the procurement of varieties not easily available e.g. ICPL-87-119 Arhar, Deccan-103 Maize hybrid and JRO 524 Jute. • Minikits of indented varieties to be made available.
