OBSERVATIONS

1. Vegetable cluster: There is a weak market linkage resulting into lower prices of

vegetables to the farmers. There is no collection centre and FPOs in the cluster

for vegetables. The marketing linkages should be strengthened by making the

FPOs.

There is a huge consumption of chemicals observed in the vegetables to

avoid the infestation of diseases and pests. The effective organic techniques of

production with proper recommendations should be given to farmers to reduce

the cost of cultivation and availability of organic food.

Off-season and high value vegetable crops should be promoted in the

vegetable cluster area. The irrigation through drips may be promoted for off

season vegetable crops and the protected structures are to be given for

vegetables.

2. Fruit Cluster (Orange and Lemon): JIT observed that the proper training and

pruning operation in lemon and orange fruits is not being done by the

beneficiaries.

JIT suggests that the proper demonstrations and trainings should be given

to beneficiaries so that the productivity of the plantation can be increased.

The proper rejuvenation technique and canopy management are not being

followed in the old & senile plantation visited by JIT. The infestation of diseases

and pests has also been observed in the old plantation.

JIT suggests to demonstrate the proper rejuvenation technique at some

places so that farmers could learn the technique and adopts in a scientific

manner.

3. Fruit Cluster (Pineapple): The farmers are growing the pineapple in the rainfed

conditions resulting in to low productivity.

4

JIT has not seen any drip irrigation system in the plantation. There is a

need to provide irrigation by drip lines in the pineapple plantation so that the

productivity of the plantation could be increased.

At present, there is no processing and value addition centre in the

pineapple cluster. The farmers are getting low price for their produce. The steps

should be taken to promote such units so that the farmers can get better price

and timely supply of their product to such units.

4. Floriculture: Although the farmers are taking production of orchids under

protected structure and earning income in a comfortable way but there is a need

to promote other high value crops like gerbera and chrysanthemum also.

5. Bee keeping for pollination support: Although the bee boxes have been given

to beneficiaries for collection of honey by the Khadi Board but the boxes have

not put in the field of horticultural crops. The objective to increase pollination

support in the horticultural crops is not being fulfilled.

There is a need to promote the bee keeping in the farmer’s field so that

the pollination support in horticultural crops could be increased. Bee-keeping

intervention needs to be integrated with compatible crops. One commercial

honey production unit may be established in the state.

6. Horticultural Mechanization: There is a need to provide the horticultural tools

for pruning and thinning to the beneficiaries having orchard of lemon and orange

in the districts.

To popularize farm mechanization, JIT recommends introduction and

demonstration of small farm tools like fruit harvester, fruit grader, pre-cooling

tank, weeder etc. to reduce the drudgery especially in the hill districts.

7. Nursery (big & small): JIT visited two horticultural nurseries of private sectors.

Although the assistance has been given through HMNEH to increase the

5

capacity of nurseries. The beneficiaries are involved in multiplying the good

numbers of planting material especially lemon, orange and mango etc.

JIT suggests to maintain the quality of planting material and also advice

them to increase the capacity further to meet out the demands of the state. The

new nursery should also be established by giving the assistance and proper

guidance. The accreditation of such nurseries should also be emphasized.

Garden tool-kit should be provided to the farmers involved in nursery raising and

cut-flower production

8. The JIT has visited Tissue Culture Unit and Nursery Complex of state

Horticulture Deptt . The production of planting material through tissue culture and

by macro propagation should be strengthened to increase the capacity of the

nursery. Although the production of TPS in the complex is a good effort by the

department and it should be taken in large scale so that the demands of other

states could also be fulfilled.

9. Processing and value addition: Farmers are selling their produce at local

market which don’t give the comfortable price to farmers in the peak supply

period. There is a need to establish processing facilities like extraction of juice &

packing centre in the vegetable and fruit clusters specially in pineapple & lemon

so that the market surplus could be utilized to make processed products. The

farmers can get the attractive price at peak supply period.

6

ACTIONABLE ISSUES

1. Community based area expansion programme of Khasi mandarin under forest

land (patta) is being practiced in the tribal belt, efforts made by the horticulture

Department in establishing fruits cluster is a welcome sign, needs to be

augmented in other districts of the State.

2. Rejuvenation and canopy management practices are still infancy stage in the

state. Regular training to officials and beneficiaries needs to be provided. Year

wise training calendar needs to be prepared for these activities.

3. Pineapple cultivation is being taken up mostly on hill slopes under rainfed

conditions. Climatic fluctuation, inadequate pollinizer ratio, low mechanization

and conventional orchard management practices, add to the problem of low yield

need to be addressed by SHM.

4. Use of highly toxic pesticides in vegetable cluster need to be discouraged by

augmenting IPM technology. The KVK which are being funded for various

activities need to be fully utilized for IPM activities.

5. Under high density plantation of mango, variety Amrapali needs to be planted

adequately.

6. More area need to be brought under pineapple cultivation as the potential exists

in visiting districts, accordingly training to farmers /field staff on cultivation

aspects should be imparted along with technical support. The installation of drip /

sprinkler needs to be supported with training on water management.

7. Mushroom cultivation scheme need to be supported to provide subsidy on

structure, SHM may look into the matter.

8. Better progress is anticipated under certain components viz. IPM/INM and setting

up of Canary (small processing unit) for pineapple processing, needs to be

explored.

9. Field staff and farmers need to be trained on protected cultivation including

production Technologies.

STATE PROFILE

Tripura is one of the seven states in the north eastern part of India located

between 22 degree and 56 minutes and 24 degree and 32 minutes north latitude and

between 90 degree and 09 minutes and 92 degree and 20 minutes east latitude. It is

bounded on the north, west, south and south-east by Bangladesh whereas in the east it

has a common boundary with Assam and Mizoram. There is a common belief that the

name of the State has originated from "Tripura Sundari" - the presiding deity of the land

which is famous as one of the 51 pethos of Hindu Pilgrims. Apart from this traditional

view, it is believed that originally the land was known as "Tuipra" meaning a land

adjoining the water. It is fact that in days of yore the boundaries of Tripura were

extended up to the Bay of Bengal when its rulers held sway from Garo hills to Arakan.

The history of Tripura as an administrative unit dates back to the days of Maharajas

when the territory was a native State. It is significant to note that all though Tripura was

conquered by force of arms in 1761, no Political agents was appointed in the State till

1871 - a gap of 110 years.

The former princely state of Tripura was ruled by Maharajas of Manikya dynasty.

It was an independent administrative unit under the Maharaja even during the British

8

rule in India though this independence was qualified, being subject to the recognition of

the British, as the paramount power, of each successive ruler. After independence of

India, an agreement of merger of Tripura with the Indian Union was signed by the

Regent Maharani on September 9, 1947 and the administration of the state was actually

taken over by the Govt. of India on October 15, 1949. Tripura became a Union Territory

without legislature with effect from November 1, 1956 and a popular ministry was

installed in Tripura on July 1, 1963. On January 21, 1972 Tripura attained statehood.
