Agriculture Contribution to GDP(%)

Description 2009/10

Major crops 40.64

Minor crops 15.90

Livestock 38.85

Fisheries 3.48

Forestry 1.13

General factors1.Overcrowding in agriculture

65% of population depends on agriculture Area of cultivated land per cultivator

declined Small size of holding, modern techniques

could not be applied.

2. Socio-economic factors

Farmers conservative outlook Illiterate Superstitions Reluctant to adopt modern

technology.

3. Natural factors Agriculture is the gamble of rain Timely rain If no rain, pests attack

4. Lack of adequate finance

ZTBL, Cooperative banks loan facilities are not adequate

Hence farmers depend on alternate sources.

Technological factors High ratio of labour to land Under utilization of cultivable land Lack of mechanization Inadequate supply of inputs Poor extension service Lack of infrastructure facilities Problem of land reforms

Major Agricultural issues

Scarcity of moisture/rainfall. High temperature. Soil erosion. water logging. Low soil fertility. Poor quality of under-ground water. Low yielding crop varieties and range

management.

How to increase agricultural production

Hybrid (high yield) seeds Batter quality of seed Mechanization

Chemical technology Hydrological technology Mechanical technology

Research and development Timely water supply Agriculture credit
