Contents of the presentation Basis for planning – SWOT analysis What has been done so far under NHM in Maharashtra Strategy for horticulture development Annual Action Plan

SWOT analysis S.NStrengthsWeaknessesOpportunitiesThreats 1Strong knowledge base and area under horticulture Poor irrigation facilities 9.2 lakh ha of barren cultivable land Pests, diseases and Climatic factors 2Crop based associations and SHG Infrastructure base Absentee owners and selling of produce before harvest Productivity enhancement Price fluctuations and market gluts 3Nursery infrastructure Preponderance of small orchards Strengthening of SHG for adoption of GAP protocol Not so encouraging response from private sector to invest in PH infrastructure 4Diverse climatic conditions suitable for various crops Weak PH infrastructure Farmers’ direct markets thro SHG

SWOT analysis S.NStrengthsWeaknessesOpportunitiesThreats 5Premium varieties of Mango, Pomegranate and orange Retailers not keen to enter in contracts with large number of small farmers Vast domestic market which is yet untapped. 6.8 AEZs and the infrastructure developed in them Growers at the mercy of commission agents and APMC PH infrastructure through PPP and Marketing board Inadequate processing units Growing trend of consumption of processed foods

Strategy for horticulture development- Area expansion : Strictly on cluster basis Area expansion only if, in a village, there is a minimum of 10 ha of fruit crops and Spices and 5 ha for floriculture crops Minimum orchard size of 1acre for fruit crops and spices Main thrust will be on utilisation of barren cultivable lands with access to water resources

Yield Gap Analysis For Major Fruit Crops ( MT/Ha) Sr. No. Crop State Average Potential Reported by SAU 1Mango Pomegranate Mandarin Orange Sweet Orange Cashew Banana Kagzi Lime Guava Grapes

Strategy for horticulture development- Productivity enhancement Based on Yield Gap Analysis The important tools will be : training of farmers for scientific management, providing water resources, rejuvenation of old orchards, micro irrigation, protected cultivation and INM. Combined application of all these tools/ sub- components

Strategy for horticulture development- Post- harvest infrastructure Convergence of schemes of APEDA (AEZ), NHM, RKVY, NMPB and MSAMB (Marketing Board) Small Pack houses at farm level Micro cluster level collection centers through SHG of farmers

PHM infrastructure projects envisaged by MSAMB S.NProposalFund required (in Rs. Crore) 1 Grading and packing centers for export (7) a) Pomegranate at Malegaon, Dist. Nashik b) Fruits and Vegetables, at Rahata, Dist. Ahmednagar c) Banana at Indapur, Dist. Pune d) Mandarin orange at Amravati. e) Banana at Yaval, Dist.

Crop-wise road map and strategy Vision statements and road maps are being prepared for 8 major horticulture crops – Mango, Cashew, Pomegranate, Mandarin orange, Sweet Orange, Grapes, Banana and Onion. – Crop-wise steering groups constituted – The reports will be ready in a month’s time Comprehensive District Agriculture Plans are in final stages of preparation Cluster-wise infrastructure mapping is being completed as a part of the C-DAP

Compliance of the observations made by GOI Plan size for regular NHM activities is limited to Rs crore. Planting material sub-plan for 3 years prepared. sufficient planting material is available. Cluster based planning –A village with a minimum area of 10ha is considered as a cluster. All the components of NHM will be allocated only to these villages Convergence of schemes – as explained earlier Allocation on PHM is based on projects in hand

Compliance contd. Base line data of and APY figures are submitted District-wise plans – District-wise plan is prepared and submitted. Progress report of Progress report uploaded on website. HRD - Training manuals have been prepared based on the TNA and they are strictly followed
