  • Change in Other Field Crop Cultivation in the North Western Province
    Change in Other Field Crop Cultivation in the North Western Province Wasanthi Wickramasinghe Research Report No: 160 October 2013 Hector Kobbekaduwa Agrarian Research and Training Institute 114, Wijerama Mawatha Colombo 7 Sri Lanka I First Published: October 2013 © 2013, Hector Kobbekaduwa Agrarian Research and Training Institute Coverpage Designed by: Udeni Karunaratne Final typesetting and lay-out by: Dilanthi Hewavitharana ISBN: 978-955-612-154-4 II FOREWORD Having reached a surplus paddy production in the country from mid 2000, government emphasis was placed on the development of Other Field Crop (OFC) sector to achieve self sufficiency targets of many other crops that can be produced in the country. Nevertheless, the performance of this sector in the recent past had not been promising. Therefore it is necessary to explore issues that are impedimented for the expansion of the OFC sector in Sri Lanka in order to provide some policy direction to the policy makers. A request was also made by the ministry of agriculture to investigate the factors responsible for the backward growth of this sector particularly in the North Western Province (NWP). Considering the necessity, HARTI undertook a study on the changes in other field crop sector in the NW province in 2011. Study identified the main farming system i.e. Chena that had been practiced in the dry zone for many years and supplied bulk of the OFC in the country. This traditional system had evolved into several farming systems in the recent past due to a number of factors. According to the study permanent homesteads cultivating mono-crops without fallowing (Goda hena), irrigated rice fields cultivating OFCs and supplementary irrigated uplands cultivating OFCs are the currently existing farming systems in the province.
