▪ Shift towards food grains production
– Rice sanctuaries identified – Legislation enacted for conserving paddy lands– Targeted incentives for paddy cultivation eg. Rs.1500/ha as incentive for group farming interest free loan, production bonus Rs.350/ha/season
▪ State food security programme
– launched during 2007-08 – Allocation for 2009-2010: Rs.65.00 crores– Allocation for 2010-11 – Rs.130.00 crores– Focus on enhancing production and productivity– Rice, vegetables, eggs, milk, and meat covered
CURRENT FOCUS

CURRENT FOCUS (continued)
▪ Focus on enhancing returns from limited land holdings
– Increased support for group farming
– Popularizing cluster approach
– Encouraging proper land management and adoption of
POP
– Raising supplementary crops like pulses, sesame,
vegetables, tubers, groundnut in paddy fields
– Subsidizing loans for small/marginal farmers

CURRENT FOCUS (continued)
▪ Shortage of agricultural labourers – focus on mechanization
– Custom Hiring Centers through local bodies
– Centralized Agro Service Centers at the Panchayat level
– Converging subsidies across schemes eg. Agro Service Centres – funds under RKVY + State Food Security + LSGD
▪ Strengthening marketing
– Procurement
– Participatory marketing (Swasraya Vipani)
– Establishment of small processing & marketing units . 7
8
CURRENT FOCUS (continued)
▪ Peasantry welfare a key focus
– Debt relief
– Remunerative procurement prices – additional amount of Rs.2.50/kg above the MSP for rice
– Comprehensive insurance (Kissan sree – accident insurance programme)
▪ Enhancing agricultural investment as a long term measure
– Major areas – minor irrigation, strengthening of labs,
market infrastructure, improving infrastructure for
production of planting material and other inputs. 8

SEED INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
ISSUES
The rate of assistance provided for 1000 MT capacity godown
is Rs.25.00 lakhs at present. This amount is insufficient for
constructing the same. Hence the rate of assistance should
be increased by 25%.
Minimum capacity of the godowns may be reduced from 1000
MT to 200 MT.
Assistance may be extended to farmers group for the
construction of small godowns of 50 MT and drying yards.15

ISSUES
• Railways are insisting for movement of full wagon/half wagon for the
movement of fertilizers. Kerala being a small state the manufacturers
find it difficult to comply this order since the requirement of fertilizers is
very low compared to other states.
• To the south of Kottayam district there are no rake points in Kerala and
hence the movement of fertilizers to the southern districts is a problem.
A rakepoint may be allotted at Kazhakuttom railway station in
Thiruvananthapuram to solve this problem
• Since Zuari India Ltd. is not in a position to supply the allocation of
complex fertilizer due to Kerala, the same may be given as additional
allocation to M/S FACT.
• The claim for FACT is pending from April 2009 onwards, since the claim
in Proforma A & C uploaded by the firm in Fertilizer Monitoring System
(FMS) is not tallying with the claim submitted to the Department.
INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT
• INM promoted on padasekharam basis for rice cultivation.
• Supply of adequate quantity of green manure seeds
• Assistance for establishment of vermi compost units

CENTRE FOR PERISHABLE CARGO AT CIAL
• A perishable cargo at cial is under establishment for a total
project cost of rs.5336 lakhs with a financial assistance of rs1334
lakhs from nhm
Twenty seven Rural Markets have been established under clusters of
VFPCK
Two Sorting and Grading Units in General areas and Four Grading
units in hilly areas have been established
38
The average size of land holdings in Kerala is 0.27 hectares with,
homestead farming. NHM may provide assistance to mixed nurseries of size
0.2 ha.
Plastic mulching in homesteads is impractical. Hence, the financial
assistance proposed for plastic mulching may be given for organic
mulching.
Under creation of water resources, provision may be given to provide
financial assistance to individual farmers also.
Since there is scope for intensive cultivation of vegetables and tuber crops
in the State, assistance may be provided to these crops also.
ISSUES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NATIONAL HORTICULTURE MISSION PROGRAMMES
