FERTILIZERS
The fertilizer consumption of
the State is much below the
national average.
Due to inadequate supply of
fertilizers, the State has not
been able to achieve the
desired level of fertilizer
consumption.
FERTILIZERS
The State receives only about 80% of the Urea allocated to
Odisha, especially during Kharif season. Very often, the supply
schedule also does not match the peak demand period resulting
in scarcity of fertilizers which at times, gives rise to law & order
problems.
Hence, it is requested that allocation of fertilizer, especially Urea
may be enhanced as follows.

behaviour that is caused due to non availability of reputed seed
growing companies.
SCHEMATIC INTERVENTIONS
The State may suffer because of change in sharing pattern of
central assistance under centrally funded schemes especially
RKVY. The State Govt. has requested GoI to increase CSS
component in the State sector schemes as livelihood of about
70 % of the State population is still sustained by agriculture
and allied activities.
Under RKVY, administrative cost,i.e,1 % of Normal RKVY is
inadequate for meeting manpower hiring, mobility support
and other unforeseen expenses for smooth implementation of
the projects. This amount may be enhanced to 2 %.Further,
administrative expenses should be allowed under subschemes also. This is essential to ensure proper monitoring
and evaluation of the schemes. 3 rd party evaluation and GIS /
GPS based monitoring should be made mandatory for all
these schemes.
Flexibility may be given to the State for 20 % diversion of
funds from one component to another component depending
upon the progress of works under various components.
HORTICULTURE SECTOR
Supply of Seed Potato
Odisha produces only about 20% of its potato
requirements.
Availability of seed potato in time at reasonable price is
one of the major constraints.
We plan to cover 30 ha under Foundation-I, 200 ha
Foundation-II and 1000 ha under Certified Seed
production during 2015-16.
For this 600 qtls of breeder seeds and 4000 qtls of
Foundation-I seed potato will be required.
Protocol for certification of Tissue Culture raised micropropagated tubers potato seed tubes should be developed.
AGRICULTURAL MARKETING
PSS OPERATION IN THE STATE
Of twenty five commodities covered under PSS Odisha produces five
commodities (Paddy, Maize, Cotton, Groundnut & Sunflower) in
sizeable quantities.
100 % Paddy is being procured by Govt. through decentralised
procurement at MSP.
Proposal submitted for procurement of Groundnut & Sunflower
produced during Rabi 2014-15 - Approval is awaited.
CCI may open additional branch office at Bhawanipatna and enhance
number of procurement centres (presently 10 Nos only)
State produces about 7.8 lakh MT of Maize per annum. Major Maize
producing districts are Nabarangpur, Raygada, Koraput, Kalahandi,
Keonjhar. Govt. of India may consider PSS operation with respect to
Maize from the forthcoming Kharif season.
State also has considerable area (20.88 lakh Ha) under Pulses with
annual production of 10.6 lakh MT. PSS operation for major Pulses
like Green gram, Black gram etc. may also be considered.
ENHANCEMENT OF MSP
Annually about 76 lakh MT of Rice is
produced in the State of which around
45 lakh MT is procured at MSP.
Present cost of cultivation of Paddy is
around Rs. 88,000/- per Ha.
Accordingly, it has been proposed to
enhance MSP of Paddy to Rs. 2500/- per
Qtl. so as to make paddy cultivation
more remunerative.
Similar enhancement of MSP of other
crops should be made in commensurate
with the actual cost of cultivation.
