Strategies for increase in Pulses and Oilseeds Production:

To enhance edible oil production, it is targeted to expand the area through NFSM, RKVY etc.

Increase in Seed Replacement rate.

Cropping system approach.

Enhancement of Productivity through IPM & INM

Transfer of production technologies through Frontline demonstrations and Block demonstrations involving KVKs, SAUs and private sectors.

ISSUES of CONCERN

Limited Area for Rice cultivation :

Only 74,644 hectares available for Wet Rice Cultivation which accounts 3.5% of the total area of the state.

Low Productivity :

Rice is the major foodgrain crop. Highest Rice Productivity (2013-14) i.e. 1600 Kg. per hectare as compared to national average of 2130 Kg. per hectare.

Very small holding & scattered land :

Average land holding of Small & Marginal farmers : 0.85 hectare.

WRC are located in scattered and far distance from village.

ISSUES of CONCERN

Net crop area under assured irrigation :

10 per cent.

Consumption of fertilizer :

62.00 kg. per hectare against national average of 129 Kg. per hectare.

Availability of Farm Power : 0.85 kW per hectare against national average of 1.20 kW per

hectare.

Rice Area Expansion :

Out of the total 74,644 hectares of potential area available for WRC, 15,620 hectares are under cultivation (i.e. 20.92% ) and remaining 59,024 hectares need development and improvement.

Weak Road Connectivity : Village to farm area road connectivity is very weak which hampers

agriculture growth.

Fertiliser : Shortage of DAP and MOP fertilizers during crop period. Allocation of

DAP & MOP should also be made at par with Urea. Railway rakes to Silchar, Assam or Bairabi, Mizoram should be arranged

to carry fertilizers in Mizoram on priority. Secondary freight from Rake point to Consumer Outlet should be extended

in difficult terrain of Mizoram.
