From a state which was closeted among the least developed states, MP has risen to formidable heights. With Shivraj Singh Chouhan completing his 10 years as the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, the state’s economy has made Mtremendous gains by doubling growth rates from around 4% in the period till 2005 to average around 8.7% in Chauhan’s first nine years in office, with the growth rate surging up to double digit levels in the most recent year. What makes this achievement even sweeter is that this economic upheaval was driven by agriculture. MP’s agri-GDP grew at 9.7% per annum during FY06 to FY15, even surpassing the record-holder, Gujarat, which grew at 7.7% during FY06-FY14. The last five years have been even more spectacular. Agri-GDP has grown at 14.2% per annum. The achievements of the state was noted and MP received the Krishi Karman Award from the President three times in the last five years. Agriculture driven economic development was possible because MP is primarily an agricul- ture state, with almost 70% of its workforce engaged in agriculture, much above the all-India average of 55%. The agriculture growth was not an overnight phenomenon or the one that was achieved by manipulating numbers. The seeds of development was sown a decade ago and the development was all round. The irrigation ratio for instance increased from 30.6% in FY05 to 41.2% in FY14, an increase of 35% in ten years. Fertiliser consumption per hectare increased from 53.4 kg to 83 kg in FY15, an increase of 55%. Tractor sales, which are reported by private companies— increased from 28,500 in FY06 to 87,100 in FY15, a spectacular growth of more than 200%. The Seed Replacement Rate (SRR) for the major crops has also increased substantially, leading to better productivity of these crops. SRR for wheat increased from 8.8% in FY05 to 27.2% in FY14; for soybean, from 12.5% to 32.3%; for gram, from 2.3% to 15.8%; and for paddy, from 3.4% to 22.6%. Today, Madhya Pradesh is the largest producer of certified seeds in the country, producing 4.4 million quintals of these. This is a classic example of combining the best practices to achieve the desired result. The result is evident in the farm lands of Madhya Pradesh. Wheat production has increased from 7.2 million tonnes (mt) to 12.9 mt, an increase of 79%. Soybean production increased from 3.7 mt in FY05 to 7.8 mt in FY13, but fell to 5.2 mt in FY14. The yields of all the major crops have risen. Yield of rice increased from 720 kg/ha to 1,474 kg/ha; of wheat, from 1,735 kg/ha to 2,405 kg/ha; of soybean, from 835 to 1,293 kg/ha; and of gram, from 928 kg/ha to 1,219 kg/ha—between FY05 and FY14. Horticulture and livestock sectors, too, have showed spectacular improvement. Milk pro- duction increased by 75%, from 5.5 mt in FY05 to 9.6 mt in FY14, and meat production more than doubled in the same period. The production of horticulture crops increased from 1.2 mt in FY06 to 5.7 mt in FY14, an unprecedented increase of 375%. MP’s strong procurement system for wheat incentivised the state’s farmers to increase the production of wheat, while improving the irrigation ratio. While Madhya Pradesh contributed only 2% of the total wheat procurement in India in 2002/03, the contribution went up to 24% by FY14. There are many lessons that can be learnt from the MP story. The factors that foster agri prosperity – irrigation, seeds, mechanization and fertilizers - are largely known to the stake holders. But to combine them effectively and consistently for a long span of time is commend- able. Chouhan’s leadership in this whole growth story is notable. He started to fix the agri prob- lem with developing infrastructure including roads, power and irrigation. He has also focused on agri-markets and crop insurance. In perishables, he is expecting milk and horticulture corridors, and is looking at the value-chains in efforts to fill the missing links. Madhya Pradesh proves the point that a strong leadership is by far the most critical com- Editorial Comments ponent of any development programme. The sincere will and commitment from the leadership front can do wonders.
