Agricultural Scenario

 Tamil Nadu has 4% of the land area and 3% of the water resources

at National level.
 92% of total land holdings in Tamil Nadu belong to Small and

Marginal farmers.
 Agriculture is the major livelihood provider to about 40% of the

population of Tamil Nadu Nearly 90% of underground water


potential has been exploited
 Tamil Nadu depends on the performance of monsoons and release of

water from Mettur Dam.


Significance of Millets
 The government of India has declared 2018 as the
National year of Millets.
 Millets is one of the oldest food known to mankind.
 Millets hold enormous hope for food and nutritional
security.
 They are predominantly grown in areas with low rainfall
and contributes to food and fodder requirements.
 Millets need very little inputs for their sustenance and
require only 25% of the water consumed by irrigated crops.
 Millets are a pest free crops and is highly suitable for
organic farming.
Superior nutritional characteristics of millets

Millets contain high amounts of proteins and


fibre, B-complex vitamins including niacin,
thiamine and riboflavin, the essential sulphur-
containing amino acid methionine, lecithin and
some vitamin E.
Rich in iron, magnesium, calcium and
potassium.
Contain phyto-nutrients, including phytic acid,
which is believed to lower cholesterol and
phytate, which is associated with reducing risk
of cancer.

Area and Production of Millets in Tamil Nadu
CONSTRAINTS IN MILLET CULTIVATION
 Changes in the consumption pattern
 Erratic Rain Fall due to vagaries in Monsoon.
 Declining farm size
 Major area under rainfed condition and cultivation of poor
yielding local varieties,.
 Non availability of High yielding Hybrids/HYV except
Maize and Bajra.
 Farmers not able to obtain Remunerative price leading
to lesser returns.
 Lack of awareness of Improved methods of Production
& Technologies.
 Weak post harvesting & market linkages
 Lack of Public Procurement & Marketing.
 Declining investment in agriculture by Public & Private
sectors

STRATEGIES to increase the production in
MILLETS
 Replacing the traditional long duration low yielding
varieties with high yielding short duration varieties
 Bringing additional area of millets in
the current fallow areas in a phased
manner.
 Interventions - cluster demonstration, distribution
of certified seeds of High Yielding Varieties, Seed
drill sowing, Community sowing, Intercropping
with pulses and local initiatives (Need based
technologies) included under NFSM- coarse
cereals & Nutricereals.
 Productivity enhancing Inputs - Liquid biofertilizer,
Maize booster / plant growth regulator , MN
Mixture & Biocides
 Direct Procurement centres to procure Millets.
 Financial assistance for Post Harvest Management
and Value addition by establishment of modern
millet based processing units.
 Seed Production through Seed Hubs.
SPECIAL INTIATIVES FOR INCREASING THE
PRODUCTION AND FARMERS INCOME IN
TAMILNADU
ESTABLISHMENT OF TAMIL NADU STATE SEED DEVELOPMENT
AGENCY
 Exclusively for SeedProduction activities ensuring
 Farmers preferred quality certified seeds
 Fixation of uniform procurement and sale price

MISSION ON SUSTAINABLE DRY LAND AGRICULTURE (MSDA)


 Focus to improve production and productivity of Millets, Pulses Oil
seeds and Cotton
 Extented to 25 Lakh Acre of Dryland
 Cluster Approach

COLLECTIVE FARMING
 Organizing small and marginal farmers into Farmers Interest Groups
(FIGs)
 ‘Farmer Producer Groups’ (FPGs)
 Federated into ‘Farmer Producer Organizations’ (FPO/FPCs)
