FOREWORD
One of the biggest challenges experienced by the Indian economy is enhancing viability of agriculture. In
this context, capital formation “in” and “for” agriculture is of critical importance for the sustainability of
agricultural growth, and accordingly, NABARD flagged capital formation in rural economy as the thrust
area for the year. Capital Formation is all the more important in agriculture where we are faced with the
task of increasing production to keep pace with the increase in population against the odds of the vagaries
of monsoon. Capital formation is positively affected by terms of trade, technology and institutional credit.
It is in this context, the importance of ensuring adequate flow of investment credit into agriculture and
allied sectors assumes greater emphasis.
In this context, NABARD, as the apex development financial institution engaged in promoting agriculture
and rural development through various promotional/ developmental initiatives and refinance support,
had been convening meetings of State Level Unit Cost Committee (SLUCC) over the years, for fixing unit
costs for investments under various farm sector activities to facilitate adequate quantum of credit flow to
technically feasible, economically viable and bankable projects.
The last revision of Unit Cost had taken place during March 2014. Since then, our District Development
Managers and Technical Officers have received inputs on various new activities for which fixing of Unit
Cost was pertinent. Also, as the package of practices of some of the crops / activities have undergone
substantial changes, which necessitated revision of those Unit Costs. The unit costs are arrived at after
consultative process based on information received from banks, line departments, researchers, field
studies conducted by NABARD, feedback from progressive farmers, etc. The costs were finalized at a
meeting of the SLUCC convened during October 2015 at NABARD Regional Office , Bengaluru in which
officials from various Government Departments, Universities, research institutes, bankers and other
stakeholders had participated. The Costs approved by the Committee are only indicative in nature and
the Financial Institutions/ Government agencies may assess the credit requirement considering the field
level situations and keeping in view the technical feasibility, financial viability and also the bankability of
the investments.
This booklet is intended to serve as a ready reckoner to banks and other agencies engaged in agriculture
and rural development in Karnataka. We welcome feedback from banks, line departments and
developmental agencies with intention to improve the document and further refine it during the next
round of exercise. Any suggestions for updating the unit costs and other improvements are welcome from
all quarters.
I would also like to acknowledge the support and cooperation extended by different line departments,
banks, farmers, and technical officers of NABARD and all others who helped in bringing out this Hand
Book. I am confident that our various partners in promotion of agriculture and rural development viz;
Planners, Administrators, Bankers, Developmental Agencies and agripreneurs will be immensely
benefited by this booklet.

SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
a. The average unit cost of land development is arrived by taking into consideration the earth work
involved in land development under different slope groups. Therefore, it is essential to know the
corresponding area for each slope group of the total area to be developed. The total cost of the land
development works can be then arrived by aggregating slope-group-wise cost of land development for
the outlet command and adding cost of other essential structures such as distribution boxes, drop pits,
lining, outlets, stone - pitching etc. As the work has to be carried
out as a complete package, the cost of construction of water
courses and field drainage, wherever included, is considered as
community item and apportioned against cultivators equally,
whereas, land development being individual item, the cost is
assessed on the basis of the area coming under each individual
holding. Therefore, to arrive at actual requirements while lending,
the bank shall arrange for preparation of plans and estimates by
the concerned technical staff of the Agriculture / Soil Conservation
Field channels / Command Area Development Depts. etc. In case of land
development works in individual holdings of non CADA area, such
as well commands, LI commands, the banks may obtain estimates from some qualified agriculture
engineers / soil conservation officers.
b. Land leveling, shaping, bunding construction of water courses and drains etc. shall be done as a
package, in compact blocks, wherever possible.
12
c. Necessary technical guidance and supervision may be provided by bank’s staff. Alternatively the bank
shall satisfy itself that the required technical guidance and supervision is made available by the concerned
department of the State Government.
d. The bank may satisfy itself that the State Government takes the following action under the scheme:
i. In case of large commands, the Government shall ensure proper maintenance of irrigation and drainage
infrastructural works and encourage participatory irrigation management system.
ii. It shall suitably strengthen extension services so that farmers take up the latest farm management
practices including adoption of suitable cropping systems, high yielding varieties seeds, fertilizers, plant
protection measures etc.
iii. It shall be ensured that sufficient earth moving machinery is available in the area to be developed for
the purpose of leveling and bunding if farmers are unable to take
up the work by themselves.

h. While undertaking soil conservation in the existing gardens / plantations, care must be taken by
selecting such structures and design which cause the least disturbance to the root system of existing crops.
i. In case of supplementary scheme/additional scheme, the proposal should contain a report on the
performance of the sanctioned original / on-going scheme.
Technical Parameters in respect of Land Development Schemes for OFD works

a. Graded bunds and outlet
It may be necessary to construct big sized bunds of 0.45 sqm cross section on a grade of 0.2% to 0.6%
depending upon soil type to prevent erosion in the event of erratic rains when small bunds may get
eroded. For paddy fields the grade of the bund will be kept at 0.1%. The base width of the bund is
1.65 m, height 0.45 m, top width 0.30 m while the side slope will be 1.25: 1 or 1.5: 1 according to soil
type.
13
b. Outlets to bunds
Outlets to bunds are needed to drain off water. These will be constructed from grass sods or stone
pitching. Generally 1.5 m length along the bund and 3 m width is suggested.
c. Crossing on field channel and field drain

These shall be masonry structures constructed for transportation of material, machinery etc., without
disturbing the field channels or on small nallas. It should be ensured that construction of such crossing
will be economically viable before actual construction is to be carried out. Big crossing may be avoided
as far as possible.
d. OFD works - Land shaping, grading

and leveling
Following factors govern the
choice of design for land shaping:
 Direction and steepness of
prevailing slope of land
 Proposed method of irrigation
 Rainfall characteristics and
natural drainage
Farm pond  Cropping pattern
 Size and shape of holding
 Farmer view taking into account operational convenience
e. Specification of land shaping

The maximum slope to be allowed after land is developed will be as under:
Sl. No. Crop System of Irrigation Slope
1 Rice Check basin Level in both directions
2 Others Border strip 0.6% along the direction of flow on the farm
Furrow 0.6% along the furrows 0.2% across the furrows
Check basin Level in both directions (0.2% slope in one direction may
be allowed as an exception)
f. Norms for design of land shaping

World Forest Day – 21, March
World Forestry Day is celebrated around the world

to ring a bell among the society about the
importance of forests and the scores of benefits
which are gained from them. The concept of
celebrating a day every year as World Forestry Day
originated at the 23rd General Assembly of the
European Confederation of Agriculture in 1971.
According to rules of Forest Department, 10

trees should be planted in exchange of cutting
down one tree. Though, in last two decades
only 1% trees have been planted.
Chopping down forests in hilly areas

results in loosening of soil, thus the
upper layer of fertile earth is eroding
which is leading to uncontrolled rain and
flood. It becomes even more important
for us to protect our forests and prevent
them from any ill practices.

2. COLD STORAGE
Particulars Unit Cost (per MT) Remarks
Amt. (`)
Cold Storage unit of 5000 MT capacity 6,000-8,000 - 9 years (without subsidy) with GP of 2 years
- 7 years (with subsidy) with GP of 2 years
Variation is on account of suitability for multi
products storage.
A. Economic size of unit and land requirements:

Cold storage units can be used to store either a single commodity or multiple commodities. Financial viability of a
unit depends upon the intended pattern of use and rental rate prevalent in an area. However, units entirely to be
used by the owners are also considered for sanction. Considering 70:30 utilization of the capacity for rentals and
own use, a 5000 MT capacity unit is considered as viable. To set up a 5000 MT capacity cold storage unit (with 17,000
cu. m. storage space requirement) although one acre of land may be adequate, it is always better to have two acres
of land to take care of future expansions and waste management. While selecting the site care should be taken to
select a site at an elevation free from inundation and well connected by road and other communication facilities to
both production and consumption centers. The land should be of non-agricultural type and the soil at the site should
be firm enough to carry the weight of the building and storage racks.
B. Technology
A cold storage unit incorporates a refrigeration system to maintain the desired room environment for the
commodities to be stored. A refrigeration system works on two principles:
a) Vapor absorption system (VAS), and
b) Vapor compression system (VCS)
VAS, although comparatively costlier, is quite economical in operation and adequately compensates the higher initial
investment. Wherever possible such a system should be selected to conserve on energy and operational cost.
However, it has its own limitations when temperature requirement is below 100 degree Celsius and many of the
fruits and vegetables except seeds, mango, etc. require lower than 100 degree Celsius for long storage. VCS is
comparatively cheaper than VAS. There are three types of VCS systems available depending upon the cooling
arrangements in the storage rooms i.e., diffuser type, bunker type and fin coil type. Diffuser type is comparatively
costlier and is selected only when the storage room heights are low. The operational cost of such units is also higher.
Bunker type is the cheapest and is preferred when storage room heights normally exceeds 11.5 m. Its operational
cost is also low. Fin coil type, although about 5% costlier than the bunker type, is very energy efficient with low
operational cost and higher space availability for storage of produce. Such system is used for units with room heights
of 5.4m onwards. In a refrigeration system, refrigerants are used to pick up heat by evaporation at a lower
temperature and pressure from the storage space and give up the heat by condensation at a higher temperature
and pressure in a condenser. Freon used to be a common refrigerant but it causes environmental degradation.
Therefore, Ammonia is being increasingly used and preferred for horticultural and plantation produce cold storage
units. Although several types of compressors and condensers are available, medium speed reciprocating
compressors and atmospheric condensers are preferred because of the relatively lower cost, energy efficiency and
ease in maintenance. While selecting size of the equipment, care should be taken to assess all loads and proper
provision should be made to take care of the peak demand during summer loading and aging of the equipment. Heat
load factors normally considered in a cold storage design are:
i) Wall, floor and ceiling heat gains due to conduction
ii) Wall and ceiling heat gains from solar radiation
iii) Load due to ingression of air by frequent door openings and during fresh air charge.
47
iv) Product load from incoming goods
v) Heat of respiration from stored product
vi) Heat from workers working in the room
vii) Cooler fan load
viii) Light load
ix) Ageing of equipment
x) Miscellaneous loads, if any
C. Structural requirement
Although the storage space provision will vary according to the room height and technology being selected.
Normally, a provision of 3.4 m3 per MT of potato is considered for finalizing the room size with the bunker type of
VCS technology. For other commodities, space adjustment should be made with relation to their bulk density as
compared to potato. Proper soil testing and rack design need to be ensured. The rack system and its foundation
should be strong enough to support weight of commodities. Normally, raft foundation is preferred for racks.
D. Insulation
All the sides of the cold storage room need to be insulated in order to maintain the required temperature inside.
Various types of insulating materials are used for insulation of side walls, partition walls, floor and roof. However,
the most commonly used insulation material is thermo-coal and sometimes Poly Urethane Fibre (PUF) panels are
also used for insulation depending upon the economics of the project. Proper thickness of insulating material should
be used for insulation of walls. Normally, two layers of insulating material are used for insulation. A minimum 100
mm thickness of low density thermo-coal need to be used for sun facing walls and roof, whereas 80 mm thickness
of low density thermo-coal may be used for other two walls. Partition walls need to be insulated with 40 mm low
density thermo-coal and a thickness of 80 mm high density thermo-coal is necessary for floors.
E. Utilities
Availability of soft water and dependable power supply at the site needs to be ensured. In case the power available
is not dependable, provision of a Diesel Generator set should be incorporated in the project. Similarly if water at site
is not soft and its hardness is within the limit for treatment, a softening plant has to be incorporated to match the
capacity.
F. Physical and Financial Outlay
The following physical provisions with their costs are considered for a cold storage unit:
a) Site development including leveling, fencing, road, drainage, etc.
b) Civil structures including main cold storage building rack provisions, drying shed, machinery room, store for
consumables, generator room, office, security cabin, etc.
c) Insulation of main cold store building
d) Machinery for cooling, air movement, loading, grading and weighing
e) Electric supply arrangement with 125 KW total electrical load including installation of transformer and deposits
for requisite connection
f) Standby electric supply arrangement/ DG set
g) Water supply arrangement and treatment plant, if required
h) Pollution control and waste disposal equipment
i) Miscellaneous fixed assets including office equipment and furniture
j) Preliminary and preoperative expenses
k) Contingency
48
l) Margin money for working capital
Wherever market is there for ice, an ice plant of the suitable size may be incorporated for better utilization of the
facilities and higher income. If an ice plant is included with the cold storage, the additional investment for ice plant
may also be included in the financial outlay.
3. ONION STORAGE STRUCTURE

Particulars Unit Cost (per MT)
Amt. (`) Remarks
Construction of Onion Storage Structure 4,000 - 9 years (without subsidy) with gp of 2 years
of 25 MT capacity - 7 years (with subsidy with gp of 2 years
Proper aeration and ventilation may be provided
Every agricultural commodity is required to be stored properly to prolong the availability with minimum qualitative
and quantitative losses. The onion bulb is a natural food store for the plant, but it is a living system undergoing a
process of development towards sprouting, and is subject to decay by various disease causing organisms. The
objective of storage technology is to maintain the bulbs for as long as possible in an unchanged sound condition with
longer shelf life, and allow them to transport and market after removal from store without much losses. For this,
two basic strategies i.e. high temperature dormancy of onion bulbs and maintaining storage temperature at around
300 C need to be exploited. The physiological and pathological processes that proceed within a store of onion bulbs
interact with the physical process of heat and water vapour exchange so as to mutually influence the environment
within the store.
i) Onion Storage Structure Requirements
For effective long storage of onion the parameters essential to be looked after are the bulb size, choice of cultivars,
cultivation practices, time of harvest, field curing, removal of tops, drying, grading, packing, storage conditions
(optimum storage range of relative humidity 65% to 70% with the temperature ranging between 250 to 300 degree
Celsius).
Salient Features of Improved Storage Structures are:
a) Construction of structure on a raised platform to prevent moisture and dampness due to direct contact of bulbs
with the soil.
b) Use of Mangalore tile type roof or other suitable materials to prevent built up of high inside temperature.
c) Increased centre height and more slope for better air circulation and preventing humid micro climate inside
godown.
d) Providing bottom and side ventilations for free and faster air circulation and to avoid formation of hot and humid
pockets between the onion layers.
e) Avoid direct sunlight or rain water falling on onion bulbs to reduce sun scald, fading of colour and quality
deterioration.
f) Maintenance of stacking height to avoid pressure bruising.
g) Periodical disinfection of structures and premises to check rottage.
h) Cost effectiveness of structures is based on utilization of locally available material for the construction.
For onion storage, technology may be either with natural ventilation or with forced ventilation. Although cold
storage systems are used in certain countries for onion, this is normally not adopted in India due to poor economics
and lack of cold chain facilities required to maintain the quality in the high ambient temperature prevalent in our
country. Onion storage in ventilation condition is quite satisfactory when the temperature is maintained between
25oC to 30oC with a relative humidity range of 65% to 70%. This environment reduces the storage losses, which are
in the form of physiological loss in weight, rotting and sprouting. The onion storage structure should be oriented in
the North - South direction i.e., length facing the East-West direction. The storage of onion will be on raised
perforated platform of 0.60 m height with bottom and side ventilations. The ground clearance may be 60 cm with
49
side opening of up to 80%. Height of storage under ventilation storage should be in the range of 90 cm to 150 cm.
For a 25 MT storage, the size of onion storage area will be 4.5m X 6.0m. The width of storage may be reduced
depending upon the availability of local construction material and ambient condition. The length of storage structure
may be increased to suit the requirements of the individual farmers. The minimum overhang of 1.5 m on the
windward side and 0.5 m on all other sides should be provided to protect the produce from sunlight and rain. At
leeward side, the opening below the platform should be closed to direct the air upward for better ventilation. Where
storms/ cyclones are expected, leeward side should not be closed when the windward side is open. During storm
there should be a provision to close the windward side. Emphasis should be laid for better area utilization efficiency.
The overall dimensions of a 25 MT structure may be 6.5 m X 7.0 m. The dimensions can be adjusted depending upon
the capacity and site conditions. The roof of the structures may be either Mangalore tile type or ACC sheets for a
single tire arrangement or RCC for two tier systems. In case of Mangalore tiles, proper fixation should be done at the
ends to prevent damage by air. If cheaper materials are available which can prevent heat built up at the top of the
structure, they can also be used. The foundations should only support the pillars to bear the load of the structure
and wind. Continuous half brick thick wall may be provided on the leeward side below the storage platform to serve
as a wind barrier. MS angles may be used for the truss and pillars. Half split bamboo sticks supported by MS angle
frames may be used for storage of onion. Side walls can also be of chain link (GI wire) type.
ii) Physical and Financial Outlay
The following physical provisions with their costs are considered for an onion storage godown.
1. Site development including levelling, fencing, drainage, etc.,
2. Construction of onion storage shed as per the principles indicated above,
3. Provision of wooden beams for the floor and bamboo sticks for sides and floors,
