AIM

• Aim to double the area under cultivation and
  production and productivity of the crops within
  five years with end-to-end approach.

1. CROP BASED CLUSTER APPROACH
Concept

• Refers to implementation strategy adopted by
  National Horticulture Mission in Chhattisgarh to
  operate by forming crop wise clusters of villages
  in various blocks of selected districts.

• Feature UNIQUE only to Chhattisgarh.
• Clusters formed on basis of crops.
• Clusters are formed of villages and not of
  districts
• Each cluster constitutes

• 200-500 Hectares (250-500 Acres) in one patch
  Fruit Orchard Mango (Central Zone), Litchi
  (Sarguja), Cashew (Raigarh and Jagdalpur).
• To obtain this, selection of 10-20 villages
  within 25-30 Km. radius.
• In one village, there should be minimum 10
  Hectares (25 Acres).

19
Status

• Currently 49 Cluster (2005-06 Plan) have been
  formed and Mission is being implemented in these
  clusters including 384 villages, 10475 farmers in
  7 district.
• New clusters proposed (2007-08) - 98
• Trainings are conducted cluster-wise

Region-wise Cluster Distribution based on Major
Crops Northern Chhattisgarh - Litchi Central
Chhattisgarh - Mango Southern Chhattisgarh and
Raigarh of Northern Chhattisgarh - Cashew
20
Benefits

• Management - Due to cluster approach, there is
  better administrative monitoring and management.
  The
• Processing - Based on the Cluster Processing
  Plan, the processing units are established or are
  to be established. E.g. Between 2
• Marketing - Marketing of these crops are assured
  and is also viable for buyers as they have to
  approach cluster wise rather than individual
  farmers.

Thus, the CROP BASED CLUSTER APPROACH envisages
to make the horticultural mission as a
Commercially Sustainable Model.
21
Concept of Micro-clusters Micro-clusters are
also crop based and are for those crops which may
be taken up in new clusters comprising additional
crops.

2.2. Compulsory Intercropping

• Due to long gestation period from orchards,
  compulsory intercropping is promoted.

• Vegetables, spices, medicinal and aromatic crops
  promoted as intercrop between main fruit
  orchards.

• This is done to enable better utilization of land
  resources.

• Farmers can take benefit from first year itself
  from these intercrops.

• Actual benefits from orchards will come in long
  term.

• Farmers can take variety of intercrops.

• Aromatic crops have good potential as intercrop
  as once planted, the farmers can harvest the crop
  multiple times, less diseases, farmer friendly
  crops, periodical income possible with good
  market demand having covered by marketing
  linkages.

  multiple times, less diseases, farmer friendly
  crops, periodical income possible with good
  market demand having covered by marketing
  linkages.

31

• During the National Horticulture Mission period
  (i.e next five years), area for hectarage and
  productivity is proposed to be doubled. Due to
  the geographical distance from the nearest ship
  port, located at Vishakhapatnam, and absence of
  International Airport as well as other
  infrastructure, there is limited scope for export
  of vegetables and flowers, which are highly
  perishable products.
• Fruits have limited scope for export on similar
  grounds, and in this direction the Agri-Export
  Zone for Mangoes is planned to be established in
  Mango producing areas of Chhattisgarh.

32

• The Aromatic Sector, unlike vegetables and
  flowers is less vulnerable and forms an important
  component of the Horticulture Sector. The
  Aromatic crops have tremendous scope and
  potential for improvement of Socio-economic
  condition of the state and thus bringing about
  development in the State.

33
Reasons favoring Cultivation of Aromatic Plants -

• It is in the mandate of the Horticulture Division
  (Department of Agriculture), Government of
  Chhattisgarh.
• These crops can be grown easily.
• Short gestation period.
• Life span of some crops is more than one year,
  hence, planting of crops is not required every
  year as compared to other cereals.
• It can be promoted as inter or main crop in a
  village (Eucalyptus citriodora is taken as main
  crop).
• Capacity to sustain vagaries of natural climatic
  factors - major damage to the crop, generally
  does not occur.
• Advanced market linkages already existing and
  established, so income for a stipulated period is
  assured. Also, the crop disposal is not a
  problem.

34

• Shelf life value of these crops is more so better
  price realization is possible.
• Crop rotation - crop change and crop substitution
  is possible only with this mass scale activities
  which give substantial impact in desired
  direction.
• Employment generation is possible which may check
  the migration problem substantially.
• Area expansion is possible with very less
  expenditure and efforts.
• Value addition at every stage is possible which
  may enhance the level of the income of the rural
  communities in the future.
• Old orchards can be utilized. Crops like
  Patchouli can be undertaken in these old orchards
  so that the old orchards can be rejuvenated with
  the inputs provided to inter-crop.

35

• Diversified agro-climatic zones of Chhattisgarh
  state further provides congenial atmosphere for
  such crops.
• Chhattisgarh, as herbal state, envisages in its
  agenda, to promote such crops.

  cluster of farmers in community approach.

• Care is to be taken to dig bore wells that at
  least one acre of land of each of the farmer of
  cluster/ group is irrigated and at least one
  bore-well caters to 6-10 acres.

• Suitable sites to be identified for digging of
  Bore well ..

• Bore-wells to be dug according to rates approved
  by the Ziladhakhsha/ PHED Department.

• Electrification, Electricity Charge and

CHHATTISGARH CROP MODELS

• Long gestation of Horticultural crops
• Irrigation dependent
• Market Infrastructure
• Perishability of Horticultural crops
• Thus, the farmers of Chhattisgarh have been more
  inclined towards cash crops than high-value
  horticultural crops.

Thus, keeping these points in mind, and to attain
sustenance in Horticulture to enable farmer's
benefits CHHATTISGARH CROP MODELS have been
developed
Benefits of Chhattisgarh Crop Models

• Immediate income to farmers from intercropping.
• Crop selection under Crop Models based on
  Gestation period

133
3 categories -

• I - 1 year gestation period -
• Cirtodora as main crop spices vegetables
  Aloe vera / floriculture
• II - 3 year gestation period -
• Cashewnut, Ber, Aonla, Vettiver, Patchouli , Aloe
  vera / Ashwagandha / Floriculture
• III - 5 years gestation period -
• Mango, Litchi, Cashew, Other crops -
• Floriculture - Open / protected cultivation
• Patchouli - important herb that can be taken up
  in old orchards in new orchards, Patchouli can
  be taken up along with other fast growing species
  as intercrop, such as Jatropha.
