Organic Input Production and Marketing in India – Efficiency, Issues and Policies CMA Publication No - 239 Organic Input Production and Marketing in India – Efficiency, Issues and Policies D.Kumara Charyulu Subho Biswas September 2010 Foreword The Centre for Management in Agriculture (CMA) at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA) is engaged in applied and problem solving research in agribusiness management as well as achieving broader goals of agricultural and rural development since its inception. As a result, over the years, CMA has developed an expertise in a large spectrum of issues in agribusiness sector including agri-input marketing, agro-processing, agri-food marketing, livestock, fisheries, forestry, rural and market infrastructure, agri-biotech sector, grass-root innovations, linking smallholder producers to emerging markets, international agricultural trade including the WTO issues, global competitiveness, commodity markets, food safety and quality issues, etc. CMA undertakes research projects of this kind not only on its own, but also at the request of its clientele group, which includes the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, other state and central government Ministries, international bodies, private corporations, cooperatives and NGOs. The present study is undertaken at the request of the Ministry of Agriculture to know the present status of the organic input units sanctioned under National Project on Organic Farming (NPOF) scheme since October, 2004. The project has different components like training programs, demonstrations, capacity building through service providers, setting up of organic input production units etc. Setting up of organic input units is an important component with a sizeable allocation under the project. For setting up of organic input production units, financial assistance is being provided as credit-linked and back-ended subsidy through NABARD and NCDC. Three types of organic input units i.e., vermi-hatchery units, bio-fertilizer units and fruit and vegetable waste compost units are being encouraged under the project. Broadly, the present study has covered five major issues. First, the study has presented an overview of organic farming in the World and in India. The SWOT analysis of organic farming to articulate, refine policy prospective and scheme has been reviewed. Second, the study has lucidly summarized the status of input production in India. Third, the study has also analyzed the capacity utilization and efficiency of organic input units under NPOF scheme and their determinants. Four, the study highlighted problems in procurement and usage of organic inputs by end- users in the study area. Five, study has presented a fairly comprehensive picture of economics and efficiency of organic farming vis-à-vis conventional farming systems in India. The study provided valuable insights for undertaking appropriate measures for expansion of organic farming in the country. I hope that findings of this study would be helpful for Ministry of Agriculture for possible modifications and effective implementation of the scheme as well as to organic producers and other stakeholders in organic produce supply chains in the country. Vijay Paul Sharma Ahmedabad Chairman Date: Centre for Management in Agriculture Preface GREEN revolution technologies involving greater use of synthetic agrochemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides with adoption of nutrient-responsive, high-yielding varieties of crops have boosted the production output per hectare in most cases. However, this increase in production has slowed down and in some cases there are indications of decline in productivity and production. Moreover, the success of industrial agriculture and the green revolution in recent decades has often masked significant externalities, affecting natural resources and human health as well as agriculture itself. Environmental and health problems associated with agriculture have been increasingly well documented, but it is only recently that the scale of the costs has attracted the attention of planners and scientists. Increasing consciousness about conservation of environment as well as of health hazards caused by agrochemicals has brought a major shift in consumer preference towards food quality, particularly in the developed countries. Global consumers are increasingly looking forward to organic food that is considered safe and hazard-free. Global demand for organic products remains robust, with sales increasing by over five billion US Dollars a year. According to the Organic Monitor, international sales estimates have reached 38.6 billion US Dollars in 2006; double that of 2000, when sales were at 18 billion US Dollars. India is bestowed with lot of potential to produce all varieties of organic products due to its agro-climatic regions. In several parts of the country, the inherited tradition of organic farming is an added advantage. This holds promise for the organic producers to tap the market which is growing steadily in the domestic market related to the export market. The important events in the history of the modern nascent organic farming in India were unveiling of the “National Programme for Organic Production” (NPOP) in 2000 and “National Project on Organic Farming” (NPOF) in 2004. The NPOF scheme has components like capacity building through service providers; financial support to different production units engaged in production of bio- fertilizers, fruit and vegetable waste compost and vermi-hatchery units and human resource development through training on certification and inspection, production technology etc. The establishment of production units under this scheme is being provided as credit-linked and back-ended subsidy by NABARD and NCDC. Around 455 vermi-hatchery units, 31 bio-fertilizer units and 10 fruit and vegetable waste units were sanctioned across different states by NABARD till May, 2009. But, NCDC has so far sanctioned only two bio-fertilizer units in Maharashtra state. At this juncture, it is very interesting to know what the present status of these units, what the production and capacity utilization of each unit and suggestions for enhancing capacity utilization etc. The present study revolves around the following issues: What is the capacity utilization and efficiency of organic input units sanctioned under NPOF scheme? What are the constraints in establishment of units and identification of problems in marketing of organic inputs? What are the constraints in procuring and using organic inputs by the farmers? What are the suggestions for effective implementation of project? Chapter 2 of the report reviews the status of organic farming in the World and India, SWOT analysis of organic farming and briefly summarizes the government policies in India. Chapter 3 gives the present status of organic input production in India. In Chapter 4, brief review, analytical framework and specification of DEA model are presented. Empirical results including productivity and efficiency of sample units are examined. Costs and returns of vermi-compost production across different states and regions are compared. Problems in establishment of units and constraints in production are discussed. Finally, suggestions for promoting of organic input production units are discussed. In Chapter 5, presents the eight cases on three types of organic input units. Chapter 6 highlights the different marketing channels exists for marketing of organic inputs in the study area. The problems in procurement and usage of organic inputs are discussed. Chapter 7 analyzes the economics and efficiency of organic farming vis- à-vis conventional farming in different states of India. Finally, the summary and conclusions of the study and policy implications are summarized in Chapter 8. The average capacity utilization of vermi-hatchery units was only 50.8 per cent which indicates nearly half of its full potential. The estimated mean technical, allocative and economic efficiencies of sample units were low. Strengthening of both input and output marketing channels is the need of the hour for rapid expansion of organic farming in the country.

  • Community Initiatives in Water Resource Management for Rural Drinking Water Supply
    A Partnership with the Government and Communities in the Maharashtra Water and Sanitation Programs Community Initiatives in Water Resource Management for Rural Drinking Water Supply Best Practice Document March 2007 Maharashtra Transforming water scarcity to water sufficiency has been the goal of the reforms in rural drinking water sector under the 10th Five Year Plan of Government of India (GOI). This has signified a paradigm shift in government policy with interchanging roles of the government from a service provider, singularly executing all rural water supply schemes to that of a facilitator, strengthening community initiatives in water resource management. In this approach, the hitherto function of rural communities as mere end- users of water schemes has transitioned to equal partners in the planning, implementation, operation and maintenance of schemes of their choice. Thereby promoting synergy between the community and state efforts through a bottom-up, participatory and decentralized system for water management. Coverage 33 districts. UNICEF Support Capacity building and information, education and In Maharashtra, the UNICEF Child’s communication (IEC) activities in all the 33 districts. Environment Project (CEP) partners with Technical support in 10 districts, viz. Ahmednagar, the state government to facilitate community Aurangabad, Chandrapur, Latur, Nandurbar, Nashik, initiatives in rural drinking water sector. In Osmanabad, Sangli, Satara and Yavatmal. many villages, the adoption of new water Cost and Cost Central and state funds only for capital costs. harvesting technologies combined with Sharing Community contribution for partial sharing of conventional mechanisms of recharging capital costs and full responsibility for operation and drinking water resources have significantly maintenance costs. UNICEF funding for capacity building increased the availability and access to water and IEC activities as well as technical support.

It is a special urban hydrology which is the collection and case of hydrology which is applied for cities i.e. deposition of rainwater for reuse, rather than the area with a very high level of human allowing it to run off. Rains are the main source of interference with natural processes. As we know water and if rainwater is conserved, the scarcity of the human population is increasing day by day water can be reduced. The use of this conservation which creates a scope of hydrological studies. system will help to overcome local erosion and Today, due to the increased population we are flooding caused by runoff from impervious area i.e. facing problems in finding and utilizing new covered area (pavement, covered parking etc) same water sources to satisfy the need.

  • Groundwater Resourcedevelopment and Management in Hard Rocks
    ABSTRACT VOLUME National Conference on Groundwater Resource Development and Management in Hard Rocks Edited by Namdeo J. Pawar Raymond A. Duraiswami Subhajyoti Das Supported by Department of Geology, University of Pune, Geological Society of India, Bangalore, Groundwater Surveys and Development Agency Department of Science and Technology, GoI February, 2010 Preface Ever increasing demand for groundwater resources in hard rock regions with limited renewable potential poses a serious threat to life. This precious resource therefore needs to be managed judiciously to ensure adequate supplies of dependable quantity and quality. It is a natural resource with economic, strategic and environmental value, which is under stress both due to changing climatic and anthropogenic factors. Therefore, the management strategies need to be aimed at sustenance of this limited resource. In India, and also elsewhere in the World, major parts of the semi-arid regions are occupied by hard rocks and it is of vital importance to understand the nature of the aquifer systems and its current stress conditions. Though the achievements through scientific development in exploration and exploitation are commendable, its exploitation has adversely affected the hard rock aquifer system, both in terms of quantity and quality; which is of major concern today. In order to reverse the situation, better management strategy of groundwater resources needs to be devised for prevention of further degradation of quality, and meeting the future quantitative demand. This necessitates understanding the flow mechanism, evaluating the potential and evolving optimal utilization schemes and assessing and monitoring quality in the changing scenario of anthropegenically induced influence from urban, agricultural, mining and industrial sectors besides preparing for resource management in view of the impending harsh and erratic climatic pattern.

B.1*, Patil S. S.2 and Pawar R. P.3 1Department of Environmental Studies, Sangola College, Sangola District, Solapur, (MH) 413007, India. 2Department of Environmental Sciences, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad 431004 (MH), India. 3WMC, YASHADA, Pune, 411033(MH), India. Received 5 January, 2011; Accepted 10 June, 2014 The population in India is expected to stabilize around 1640 million by the year 2050, as a result, gross per capita water availability will decline from 1820 m3/year in 2001 to as low as ~ 1140 m3/year in 2050. Thus, the growing concern about water scarcity challenges us to think of alternative solutions to avoid the current problem of water scarcity. The micro-watershed development, which ensures availability of water for agriculture and domestic purpose and the roof-top rain water harvesting measures, which provide water for domestic consumption are often suggested as solutions for overcoming water shortage in drought prone areas of India. This article presents the success story of rooftop rain water harvesting program in Renavi village in Sangli District of Maharashtra, India. The potential assessment of the village revealed that, approximately 20 lakh liters of water collected from rooftops, will satisfy the demand of a population of 1300 for at least 78 days.
