Cotton/ Jowar crops can be grown in the western, north-

western and south-western part of MP. Such crops are

grown in the regions having medium & deep soils.

WHEAT/ JOWAR

Wheat/ Jowar crop zones are predominant in the northern

strip of the State. Some southern areas of the State can

also be tapped for such commodities. It is evident that

these crops have the potential of growing in all the soil

types prevalent in the State.

Location Analysis - Agri Export Zones* in MP

With the objective to promote agricultural exports from the country and

remunerative returns to the farming community, the concept of the Agri Export

Zones (AEZ) has been initiated by the Government under all aspects of

efficient agri practice such as production, R&D, post harvest management,

packaging, leading to final exports. Further market promotion and

development are also undertaken in the AEZs.

• To facilitate promotion and development of specific products,

several AEZs (Agri Export Zones) have been identified in the

State of Madhya Pradesh. These zones have been set up for

facilitating export of specific products from a geographically

contiguous area.

• The AEZs are present at such a location that it is easy to source

the raw materials and hence developing the final product.

• The concentration of AEZs is more towards the Eastern and

North eastern parts of the State and the investors can look

forward to tap these regions of the State for their investments.

Especially MNCs who have operations abroad and want to grow

in terms of international trade can harness opportunities in

these areas.

• The commodities that can have an immense potential are

potato, spices (in the western parts), pulses (in the central part

of the State), wheat (in the western and central regions) and

oranges (south districts).

17

• Contract farming is an emerging concept in MP that provides vast opportunities for

potential investors wherein the production and supply of agricultural/ horticultural

produce are pre agreed under forward contracts between producers/ suppliers and

buyers. The contract details the type of agri commodity required at a time and a price,

and in the required quantity.

• Contract farming provides a proper linkage between the farm and the market

Contract Farming…. Future Trend in Agriculture

BASIC ELEMENTS OF CONTRACT FARMING

• Quality or acreage (minimum/maximum)

• Time

BENEFIT TO THE FARMER

• Assured market for their produce

• Adequate & quality agri input supplies

• Free technical know-how

BENEFIT TO HLL

Contract farming assures supply chain efficiency and hence there are no delays or obstacles in their food processing industry operations

the most promising opportunity for an investor.

The state has identified around 100 agricultural farms with

an area of over 20,000 acres which is available on

lease to investor.

• State has the potential to develop and increase the production of

horticulture crops for each of the 11 Agro-climatic sub-zones.

• Many opportunities are also available at each part of the value

chain in agro – processing industries.

• Ministry of Food Processing Industries sanctions the projects within the

Food Parks. Further to this, the monetary support from the Government of

India is 50% of the proposed investment, limited to a maximum of USD

0.8 million.

• The State Government offers special incentives for the investors looking

forward to invest in the State. The project clearance with approvals are

the Government also offers customized package of concessions on mega

ventures.

• A green field Special Economic Zone (SEZ) has been developed as a

globally competitive investment destination at Pithampur in Indore. Land

allotment has already begun with several units starting commercial

production. Again this SEZ may act as a single point investment

destination for various agro processing companies. Indore, thereby

facilitating their growth along with the growth of the State.
