National Food Security Mission (NFSM) - An Overview Crops Division DAC&FW
States & Districts covered under NFSM Note : * Coarse Cereals included under NFSM from 2014-15 Selection of Districts: NFSM-Rice & Wheat: Districts with >50,000 ha area and Yield below State Average NFSM-Coarse Cereals: Districts covering 70% of the total coarse cereals area of the state
Interventions Promoted under NFSM (Rice/Wheat/Pulses and Coarse Cereals) • Demonstrations on improved Technologies • Distribution of Seeds (HYVs/Hybrids) • Assistance for Production of Seeds (only in Pulses) • INM and IPM • Resource Conservation Technologies/Tools (farm implements) • Efficient Water Application Tools • Cropping System based Training
Production Targets & Achievements for XI and Targets for XII Plan (million tonnes)
Total kharifFoodgrains Production (Million Tonnes)
Total Foodgrains Production (Million Tonnes)
Support to State Govt. /Seed Producing Agencies- i. Distribution of Seed Minikit of newer varieties of pulses- An amount of 67.56 crorehas been allocated for pulses seed minikit distribution during kharif/ rabi & summer to popularize newer varieties. ii. Formation of Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) for Seed production , procurement, and new technologies, an amount of Rs. 52.11 crore is allocated to SFAC. 81 FPOs formed : 30 more targeted.
Technologies/Interventions being promoted amongst the farmers to help them in increasing their farm income during 12th Plan. • Cluster demonstrations with latest crop production technologies • Promotion of newer varieties/hybrids • Assistance of Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) for maintaining soil health and to improve yield and • Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to protect the crops from insects, pests and diseases. • Promotion of improved farm machineries for timely completion of agricultural operations and reduction in cost of cultivation.
Contd... • Water saving devices like sprinklers, raingun and water carrying pipes to save precious water and avoid flooded irrigation; • Cropping system based trainings to farmers • Technology demonstration of pulses through KVKs for faster adoption of seed of newer varieties. • Enhancement of breeder seed and creation of seed hubs of pulses for attaining higher production. • Assistance for promotion of pulses in rice fallow areas
Initiatives taken during 2016-17 for pulses production • 150 seed hubs has been sanctioned with an allocation of Rs. 225.31 crorefor two years (i.e., 2016-17 & 2017-18). • For strengthening of breeder seed programme at ICAR institutes and SAUs an amount of Rs. 30.39 croreis earmarked for two years. • 24 Bio-fertilizer centers have been approved for the year 2016-17. Rs. 29.61 crore has been earmarked for two years (2016-17 & 2017-18). • An amount of Rs. 90.06 crorehas been allocated for central agencies like HIL, KRIBHCO and NSC under seed production programmefor increasing availability of seed of pulses. • An amount of Rs.67.56 crorehas been allocated for pulses seed minikitdistribution during kharif/ rabi & summer to popularize newer varieties.
Research Support under NFSM • Support for SAUs, National and International research organization under following themes; • Conservation of natural resources & their efficient use. • INM & IPM, modification/refinement of farm machines/tools. • Upscaling of improved crop varieties. • Nutrient management in acidic/alkaline/sodic. • Rain water management in kharif pulses. • Value addition incase of coarse cereals and pulses • Any other innovative approach for enhancement of crop productivity
Demand and Supply of Vegetable Oils (Million tonnes )
Major Constraints in Yield Improvement of Oilseeds • Continued dependence on rainfed production system leading to larger fluctuation in area and yield with larger variation in groundnut. • Agro-climatic limitations like adaptability of mustard under saline soil / low water areas of >4 million ha; groundnut under low rainfall / drought prone areas of >2 million ha and soybean under upland black cotton soils of >10 million ha. • Farmers’ priority to cereals under irrigated condition due to assured buy back. • Availability of cheaper imported vegetable oil with admissible blending depressing domestic markets of oilseeds leading to area stagnation. • Lack of assured procurement of oilseeds.
Strategies for Oil Seeds • Increasing SRR with varietal replacement • Promotion of new varieties through minikits / FLDs • Area expansion under protective irrigation • Area expansion through diversification of low yielding cereals, use of rice fallows and inter cropping • Enhancing procurement of oilseeds
Frontier Technologies • Ridge-furrow / Broad-bed-furrow technologies in soybean and groundnut • Line sowing in mustard. • Sprinkler irrigation in groundnut and rapeseed-mustard • Use of drip irrigation and hybrid in castor • Application of gypsum in groundnut • Intercropping groundnut and soybean with arhar
Key Interventions • Production of foundation/certified seed> 8 lakh qtl • Distribution of > 14.0 lakh seed minikits of less than 10 years old varieties of oil seeds including 6.4 lakh minikits of < 5 year old varieties of mustard • Distribution of > 2.6 lakh qtl certified seed • Demonstration of improved technologies- 2.75 lakh ha. • Supply of farm machinaries (> 24,000) and drip / sprinkler (30,000) • National kisan melas (5) / exhibitions (3) and farmers' training
Way Forward • Larger support for protective irrigation and mechanization • Strengthening seed chain for promotion of newly released variety / hybrids • Assured procurement support with competitive prices over food grain to encourage diversification of areas • Processing support both for oilseeds and oil palm in new non traditional areas
