District Domestic Product compilation and its uses

What is DDP? District Domestic Product (DDP) represents the sum of economic value of all goods and services produced within the geographical boundary of the district.

To know the economic status of the area, taluk, district, state or even economic status of the country The district income estimates assumes much importance as an indicator of development in decentralised planning.

Advantages of compiling DDP Shows the sector wise development of taluka’s or a district. Differentiate the economic development between taluka’s or a district. Helps to Prepare an Human Development Report. Helps to prepare the development plans at taluk level.

Source of data for compiling district domestic product Agriculture Area, Yield, Production and Prices are used to find the output value of the crops in agriculture sector. District Statistic Office: Supplies the data such as Area, Yield and Production for several crops. APMC: Supplies price to compile the output value for all crops. Horticulture Department: Supplies Area, Yield and Production for Vegetable and Fruits crops. DC Office: Supplies Irrigation charges.

Source of data for compiling district domestic product Data Limitation in Agriculture Area: In spite of best efforts, Area records have not been updating in all three season Area reconciliation at the village level not done properly by the concerned department. Crops which are grown in forest area, government land or canal are not reflected properly in the records.

Source of data for compiling district domestic product Data Limitation in Agriculture Mixed Farming: Mixed farming is mainly found in the horticulture sector and some major crops in agriculture, where combination of the crop will be grown. Estimation will be limited for the major crops in which minor crop area not properly reflected. Example: The plantation crops such as coconut, arecanut, banana etc found near each home stud land, stray fruit trees found, normally in estate, forest area and bund area are not at all reflected which contribute sizable share.

Source of data for compiling district domestic product Data Limitation in Agriculture Yield: Yield estimation has been under estimated due to insurance claim. Yield estimation is not been conducted statistically for horticulture crops by horticulture department. Price: The District DDP suffered with local market prices. The District level DDP compilation is processed based on district market prices, if district price not found then state price has been allocated on several crops.

Source of data for compiling district domestic product Data Limitation in Livestock For the interceptional years, estimation has been attempted by extrapolating the data on the basis of observed growth rates between the last two censuses. Accurate production data on byproducts is not available, By comparing state figures variation is found in the taluk-wise production as well as taluk-wise price of the live stock products.

Source of data for compiling district domestic product Forestry and Logging District Forest Department: Supplies Taluk-wise Price and Production for forest products. Fishing District Fisheries Department: Supplies Taluk-wise Price and Production for fish products. Mining and Quarrying Mines and Geology Department: Supplies Taluk- wise Price and Production based on the royalty.

Data Limitation in Construction limitation of data on private construction. observation on development in district shows the major participation of the private sector, but due to unavailability of data on private construction actually under estimated the District Domestic Product.

Electricity, Gas and Water Supply CLB’s Web Application: CLB’s web application and district at a glance (DAG) have been used. Transport District Statistic Office: District at a Glance data have been used.

Data base problem and what has to be done to overcome this Problem? Primary Sector Area Reconciliation at village level need to do properly. Enumerators have to be appointed at least in the hobli level. The area estimation on all season should be done properly for all crops including mixed crops. Village accountant should be supplied with updated revenue village map.

Data base problem and what has to be done to overcome this Problem? Primary Sector Horticulture census needs be held along with agriculture census in every five years. Especially for most of the horticultural crops yield estimates are not available at district level, some methodology must adopt to get yield estimate at district level. Need to build an accurate system to get local market prices for all crops and products in the district.

Data base problem and what has to be done to overcome this Problem? Secondary Sector& Tertiary Sector Special effort has to carry out to get an accurate and reliable data. Private database need to be build in construction, communication, transport and other sector by initiating a special program at regional level.
