• Target of Rabi crop coverage area has been
  achieved.
• Timely sowing of pulse oilseed crops are
  affected due to heavy rainfall (218.3 to normal)
  in the month of October, 2004.
• There is a possibility of 5 to 10 Percent
  shortfall in Rabi production due to prolonged
  cloudy weather and continuous rainfall.

• The rice crop, especially basmati rice was badly
  affected at flowering and maturity stage due to
  heavy rainfall and hail storm.
• Shortfall in production of rice is due to flood
  in the district USNagar. One third of area under
  rice in the state is in district USNagar
• The targeted production level of Sanwa Maize is
  not achieved due to shift of area to Ragi and
  Rice crop, but the productivity of these crops
  has been increased.

5
Strategies for Kharif 2005

• Farmers Trainings/ Goshtis from State level to
  Nyay Panchayat level.
• Timely Availability of Quality Inputs.
• Districtwise Seed Allotment for Kharif Crops have
  been finalized.
• There is a Proposal to bring ten percent area of
  wheat crop under green manuring in plain
  districts.
• Focused attention on IPNM and IPM.

PRIORITY ISSUES OF STATE

• Non availability of quality seed of agricultural
  crops and planting materials of horticultural
  crops in time.
• Inadequate post harvest handling infrastructure
  and non-existence of value addition.
• Low marketable surplus in hill situation, lack of
  marketing facilities and prevalence of marketing
  malpractices.
• Remoteness and inaccessibility of hilly areas
  which impede transfer of techniques.
• Development of improved varieties of finger
  millets, barnyard millets, amaranth, buck wheat,
  rice, bean, rajma, barley.
• Development and popularization of small tools and
  machinery for hill farming and post harvest
  operations.
• Popularization of water harvesting and micro
  irrigation techniques.

13
PRIORITY ISSUES OF STATE

• Development of suitable crops sequences and
  production technology for predominantly rice,
  wheat areas.
• Area under pulses/oilseeds is very low (4.97 of
  area under crops). Special package for
  development of pulses /oilseeds is needed.
  Apricot / cheura (tree borne oilseeds) can be
  promoted on degraded forest lands.
• All research programmes ought to be conducted in
  interdisciplinary mode through production system
  approach with emphasis on nutritional security
  and raising income levels through development of
  entrepreneurship.

14
New Initiatives Taken By State

• Core Valley Seed Programme
• Development of Package of Practices for Hill
  Crops
• Farmer to Farmer Extension Approach
• Market Linkage to Organic Producers

15
New Initiatives Taken By State Core Valley Seed
Production Programme

• Seed Replacement Rate in hill areas is only 3 to
  4 percent.
• 31 Valleys identified in ten hill districts for
  seed production.
• District-wise Seed requirement have been worked
  out for different crops.
• Seed production programme in 1187 ha. under five
  valleys have been finalized with target of
  producing 13500 Qtls. of certified seed in kharif
  2005.

16
New Initiatives Taken By State Development of
Package of Practices

• In hill areas great deal of agro-bio-diversity
  exists.
• These areas have been completely deprived of
  benefits of green revolution.
• For increasing production and productivity of
  small holdings under Farming System Approach
  suitable package of practices need to be developed

17
New Initiatives Taken By State Farmer to Farmer
Extension Approach

• Progressive farmers from all 670 Nyay Panchayats
  have been identified.
• Intensive Training will be imparted to these
  progressive farmers regarding recent advances in
  production technologies.
• These progressive farmers will work as link
  farmer between Govt. functionary and farmers of
  their Nyay Panchayats

18
New Initiatives Taken By State Market Linkage of
Organic Producers

• SHGs and Farmer Federations have been proposed
  in all 667 Bio-Villages under organic farming.
• Marketable commodities from each villages are
  identified.
• Common facility centers for capacity building,
  processing, grading have been proposed.
• Linkage of farmers federations with internal and
  external markets.
• SARAS - Organic Produce Marketing Center are
  proposed in every district of the state for
  internal market. Two centers at Haldwani
  (Nainital) and Dehradun are functional.
