  4. NAGALAND Agriculture is the mainstay of the state’s economy. More than 80% of the population is rural based and its economy depends on agriculture and allied sectors. Traditionally, all the tribes practice shifting cultivation. The Angami and Chakhesang tribes have on the other developed a system of Wet Terraced Rice Cultivation (WTRC), which they practice along with shifting cultivation. VISION AND MISSION STATEMENT Our vision • A feasible Agriculture in Nagaland, economically viable and ‘Food for All by 2020’. Our mission • Promote subsistence agriculture to commercial agriculture in a sustainable manner by extending demand driven services to farmers. • Promote Organic agriculture in a sustainable manner under rain-fed situations.

  5. AGRICULTURAL POLICY A major shift in Policy from sustainable level of production to commercial oriented production program has been put into motion during 11th Five Year Plan period. Towards achieving this objective various strategies has been defined and institutional reforms carried out: • Crop zoning of cultivable agricultural land all over the State identifying major viable crops carried out. • Input procurement and distribution policy in line with crop zoning • Adopted organic program, an effective strategy involving design management procedures that work with natural processes • Extension services have been re-oriented and adopted New Extension Reform (ATMA) • To strengthen market linkage, APMC has been constituted through an Act of the State Legislature to provide meaningful services to the farmers. • Proposed two pronged approach of increasing the area and productivity for increasing the production of Rice & Pulses in order to achieve Horizontal and Vertical growth.

  6. NO.1 RABI ASSESSMENT 2009-10 KHARIF PROSPECT FOR 2010-11

  7. TARGET & REQUIREMENT FOR KHARIF 2010

  8. NO.2 SEEDS (Availability,Treatment, Testing) Seeds Availability: State do not produce sufficient seeds and therefore depends on the supply position of NSC/SFCI dealers etc. Seed Treatment: NSC/SFCI seeds are all treated. About 30 % of locally available seeds (Truthfully Labeled Seeds) are treated. Seed Testing: Seed viability is tested in the State Seed Testing laboratory.

  9. NO.3 RASHTRIYA KRISHI VIKAS YOJANA (RKVY)

  10. FUND ALLOCATION UNDER RKVY DURING 2009-10

  11. IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF RKVY FOR THE YEAR 2008-09 • CONSTRAINTS: • More time is required for collection, compilation and reporting as many line departments are involved in the programme. • Actual convergence is yet to take place as the programme is at its initial stage.

  12. NO.4 FERTILIZERS (AVAILABILITY, TESTING, INM) In view of the Organic Policy adopted by the State, the farmers are encouraged to use organic manures such as Green manure, Bio-compost, Vermi-compost, Bio-fertilizers etc. apart from chemical fertilizers. During 2009-10, 950 MT of compost was produced and 20 MT of Green manuring seeds were distributed to the farmers. The different Bio-fertilizers produce and distributed to the farmers are:- Rhizobium-1.77 MT, Azotobacter-3.23 MT, Azospirillum-0.60 MT, Phosphotika-6 MT. During Kharif 2010 bio-fertlizer production target is 7 MT. SOIL TESTING: Department has 3 (three) soil testing laboratory. Nos. of Soil Health Cards made available to farmers: 2009-10 (Achieved) 14,000 nos. Kharif 2010 (Target) 6000 nos.

  13. Though the State has adopted Organic Policy to enhance production for sustaining productivity, to meet increasing demand for more food, Chemical Fertilizers will be used in selected potential areas in the State. The availability position of Urea is satisfactory but DAP scarcity was there during the cropping season.

  14. NO.5 AGRICULTURAL MARKETING • National Horticulture Mission (including impact assessment & linkage to market): • (1) National Horticulture Mission facilitates construction of basic infrastructural development (8 nos of Wholesale Market, 170 nos of Rural Godown and Apna Mandis) • (2) Created avenue for farming communities toward organizational set up of farming & marketing system through the APMCs/VMCs • (3) Mobilize farming communities for surplus production of economically viable crops thereby enhance income which improve economy and living standard of farming community in the state. • Agricultural Marketing with focus on reforms: • To facilitate marketing network and infra structural development, Nagaland State Agricultural Marketing (Development & Regulation) Act 2005 is enforced. • Constitution of 18 nos of APMC & VMC in all Government recognized villages. • Intensive training on Post Harvest Management & Marketing activities. • Selection of economically viable commercial commodities for commercial purpose. • Crop zoning according to climate conditions has been done.

  15. BEST PRACTICES ADOPTED BY THE STATE. About 74% of the areas is still under shifting cultivation system which shall remain for years. To increase production and productivity , the following improved practices economically found acceptable. • Wet terrace Rice cultivation (WTRC) (Paddy cum Fishery and Snail Culture) . • Mixed cropping in Shifting cultivation. • Alder Based Agriculture • Fallow Management practices and use of Legume as cover crop.

  18. ANY OTHER ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE NATIONAL FOOD SECURITY MISSION Since Nagaland is in critical situation in term of Food Security, National Food Security Mission guidelines may be relaxed to include Nagaland and alike states in National Food Security Mission in the interest of the state in particular and country as a whole.

  19. CONSTRAINTS: 1. Seeds:- a. Non provision of Transport Subsidy for the last 3 (three) years. b. Seeds subsidy not adequate. 2. Fertilizers: a. The present arrangement of delivery from Guwahati (Assam) is an extra added burden to the state. Fertilizers Corporations may be requested to make delivery as done in the past at ware-housing Dimapur ,Nagaland. b. Unavailability of DAP during the cropping season. 3. Plant Protection:Rodents or any other pests epidemic should be taken as natural calamity. Hence subsidy component should not be imposed upon affected farmers . 4. Transportation Charges: Being hilly state, transportation costs of Agricultural Inputs abnormally very high. Though transportation charges is not permitted under Macro-Management, Government of India may consider to relax restriction and allow the state to utilize certain amount within the approved schemes to meet transportation charges.
