Importance of Pulses

•Pulses – An integral part of diet as a source of Protein

•Additional advantage for sustainable Agriculture-Soil enriching capabilities thru ‘N’ fixatation & Organic

Carbon

•Used as Feed & Fodder

•Improved Technology capable of Increasing Pulse Productivity by 30-40%

Protective Irrigation

•Far More rewarding if Micro Irrigation at Critical Stages

•Fertigation at Branching and Pod Development Stages with half dose of Nitrogen & Potash is recommended for Pigeon Pea

•Useful in Saline Tracts

•Use of Farm Ponds • Use of Micro irrigation in Pulses.

SeedsSeeds

•To promote promising varieties / hybrids

•Early, Drought Tolerant,Disease & Pest Resistant Varieties

• To Promote Seed Village Programme

•Production as well as Distribution Subsidy is to be enhanced

•Minikit Distribution on Massive scale

PPP – Market Linkage of Small Holders

• Projects Under PPP – 12

• Participating Companies – 20

• Farmers – 100000

• Area – 100000 Ha.

• Project Cost – Rs 251.04 crore

• Share of farmers & Pvt. Sector: Rs 139.20 cr

• Government Share – Rs 111.83 crore

• Public and Private technologies, extension machinery, resources pooled to increase productivity and develop end to end value chains.

• Projectized extension approach for value chain development is very effective.

• Involvement of all stakeholders right from the beginning in PPP projects is key factor.

Working on each others strengths-

• Govt- funds/ budget, technical manpower, infrastructure support, and overall leadership

• Private- marketing linkages, trained manpower, financial support, advanced technology support, professionalism, business model

• Farmers- innovative and experimenting nature Up scaling of initial success needs to be

worked out

An Agenda for Corporates

• Reforms in APMC Act unexplored by corporate sector: Direct

Marketing, Private Markets, Contract farming.

• Budgetory incentives of 2004-05 / 2009-10 not yet exploited.

• End-to-End value chain through convergence of all Government

interventions never tried.

• Warehousing Act / Rules in place along with E-trading are yet

un-attended.

• A framework for convergence ?
