Incentivizing Oilseed and Pulse Production: Strategies for Efficient Farming in India

The conference focused on enhancing the production and procurement of oilseeds and pulses across participating Indian states, including Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, and Jharkhand. Key strategies discussed included increasing the area under cultivation, promoting timely sowing, and utilizing nutrient-specific fertilizers. Innovative techniques such as micro-irrigation and mechanization were highlighted to improve productivity. The importance of competitive MSP and efficient procurement infrastructure was also emphasized. The session concluded with future directions for research and development in crop varieties suited to local conditions.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Rabi Conference 2012-13 Group IV: Incentivizing Production & Procurement of oilseeds & Pulses Participating States: Madhya Pradesh West Bengal Mizoram Uttrakhand Jharkhand Himachal Pradesh Meghalaya Delhi

  2. Incentivizing Production • Attitude: Alternate crop / Rainfed crop vs Main crop • Increase Area • Enhancing SRR ( pulses : 20-25%, ground nut: 20%) • Timely sowing (20% drop in production in delay by 15 days). • Availability of seed • Fertilizer Application – timely and adequate . • Irrigation Coverage (mainly rainfed, ). • Use of Nutrient specific fertilizer like, SSP(sulphur) for oilseeds and soil conditioner/ameliorants like Gypsum.

  3. Incentivizing Production-2 • IPM -close monitoring, timely reporting of pest attack and taking appropriate remedial actions • New Techniques: Ridge-furrow sowing, Deep ploughing, Zero Seed Drill , Seed Treatment. • Water use efficiency - micro irrigation, sprinklers (20 % increase in productivity). • R & D for development of new, short duration and climate resilient varieties. • Mechanization for timely completion of farm operations - Custom hiring centers • Value addition for processing (Dal mills, oil mills, specially for procesing Sunflower)

  4. Incentivizing Production-3 • Increase area under NFSM Pulses in Jharkhand, West Bengal. • Increase area under ISOPOM in Jharkhand, Mizoram, Meghalaya. • Campaign high lighting Pulses and Oilseeds cultivation.

  5. Incentivizing Procurement • Competitive MSP to motivate farmers. • States need to create infrastructure to facilitate procurement . • States to identify purchase centres and estimate arrivals. • States to provide Market Information for new areas for procurement operations.

  6. Other Issues • Inclusion of Mizoram in NFSM pulses. • Short duration varieties of oilseeds and pulses for West Bengal and Jharkhand. • At present 17 districts are under NFSM pulses, requested for inclusion of all 24 districts(Jharkhand). • Promotion of micro-irrigation(Jharkhand). • Involvement of procurement agencies in NE region. • Inclusion of seed production subsidy in pulses. • Subsidy for private notified hybrids for sunflower and mustard.
