Strategy For Rabi 2007-08 Two major problems in Agriculture Sector- 1. Low productivity of crops 2. Heavy dependency of the population(65%) on agriculture Following strategies proposed to mitigate these problems. – Measures for enhancing productivity • Improvement in Soil Health • Testing of 7.05 lakh samples during Rabi. • Increasing soil testing mobile labs from 18 to 20. • Distribution of 40.00 lakh bio-fertilizer packets.
28th September and 12th October 07 have been designated as Soil Testing and Micro Nutrient Day for collecting soil samples and provide analysis report within 15 days. • Massive drive of Constructing 1.20 lac Vermi and Nadap Compost during Rabi 2007-08 as against 0.14 lac last year. • Procurement & distribution of 0.11 lac qtls of Dhaincha seed for green manuring and 1.08 lac M.T. gypsum for improvement in soil quality. • Raising Seed Replacement Rate from 23.29% to 24.05% . • 25.81 lac qtl seed distribution proposed. Enhancement of 0.82 lac quintal over last Rabi. • 22.80 lacs quintal certified/quality seed of wheat to be distributed. • Enhancing SRR of wheat from 24.14% to 24.76%. • Augmenting distribution of pulses seed from 1.93 lac qtls. to 2.15 lac qtls. • Distribution of hybrid seed in Maize. • Ensuring timely availability of Rabi seeds at sale points before Oct 31st, 2007. • Distribution of 2.88 lac minikit of oilseed and pulses.

Natural Resource Management • Total Reported Area 242.02 lac ha. • Net Cultivated Area 168.12 lac ha. • Total Problem Area 120.44 lac ha. (Area in Lac ha.)
Kisan Hith Yojana • Main Objectives • To reduce the threat of drought and flood through efficient rain water management. • To reclaim the high PH Usar land/alkaline land and there by to bring additional area under cultivation. • To develop ravine/waste land for cultivation and plantation purposes. • To remove congestion in water logged areas to bring maximum area under cultivation. • To confer land ownership to the weaker section of society through distribution of surplus land. • To improve the economic conditions of landless labour, small and marginal farmers etc. • To provide employment to people’s in the project area.

New Initiatives for vegetable production • Vegetable, Medicinal & Aromatic Plants seed production programme in 282 ha. and NHM which will be ensure addition certified vegetable seed. • Vegetable seed production programme in 100 ha. under State Plan Scheme which will ensure additional certified vegetable seed. • Support on certification of Vegetable seed production. • Creation of 28 seed infrastructures at State Department/SAU’s/U.P. Seeds.
Spices, Floriculture & Medicinal/Aromatic Plants Development
Issues For Consideration of GOI • Reduction of interest rate on agricultural credit from prevailing 7% to 4%. • 50% subsidy on drip & sprinkler irrigation system for all crops. • Enhancement of seed subsidy up to 50% from prevailing 25% on the cost of seed. • Regulatory mechanism for price structure of hybrid seeds. • GOI should continue to make arrangement for import of DAP for one more year. • Arrangements of 19 rake points for fertilizer supply. Contd…
In case of RVP /FPR schemes there are certain limitations which do not suit to a large state like UP viz.- • Selected River should be of inter-state in nature. • Survey and Delineation of Codes took many years which delays the implementation of the projects. • Remunerative Pricing for agriculture crop.
Remunerative Pricing for Wheat Minimum Support Price (MSP) fixed by GOI has been much lower than recommended by State Government. The following table illustrates the MSP for wheat crop recommended by State Government and MSP announce by GOI. Keeping in view the ever increasing cost of inputs and cultivation in general remunerative price mechanism is most critical factor in enhancing agricultural productivity and overall socio-economic status of the farming community.
Status of GOI Fund Utilization 2007-08 (Rs. in Crore)
Outcomes of Schemes Under ACA 1.1 Reclamation of problematic land • Reclamation of 1 lac ha undulated, heavenly eroded, non arable land covered with perennial shrubs in Katri area of river Ram Ganga catchments to bring it under agriculture, horticulture and agro-frostery activities. • Reclamation of 2 lac ha ravines and creation of irrigation facilities followed by agricultural activities, are proposed through mechanical and other related soil and water conservation measures. It will increase production and bring about 60 thousand ha of additional area under cultivation. • Construction of ponds, bunds, check-dams and other vegetative measures are proposed to recharge groundwater, especially in critical and semi-critical blocks of western U.P.
