7.1 Vision

7.2 An Overview

7.3 Current Situation Analysis

“Enhancing agrarian economy of the district by focusing on profitable agriculture and agro-

enterprises in order to boost rural development on sustainable basis as well as enhance the living

standards of people.”

• The agriculture sector includes agriculture and its allied sectors i.e. animal husbandry, poultry, fishery and

sericulture. This document envisions agriculture sector to grow more than double in the coming decade. The

strategy includes increasing productivity of crops, expanding horticulture, value addition to agricultural

produce along with strengthening of marketing facilities, capacity building of farmers and strengthening of

allied activities.

• Centrally sponsored schemes for development of agriculture including integrated watershed management,

soil health improvement programme, Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana, National Food Security Mission, National

Horticulture Mission etc. are proposed to be used for productivity enhancement. The Public-Private

Partnerships are envisaged for processing units of agro-produce and marketing arrangements such as

setting up of terminal market in Aurangabad.

• The interventions proposed for enhancement of Agriculture Production and Productivity; Market

Infrastructure, Warehouses and Cold Storage, Water supply etc. envisage an investment of about Rs.2139 Cr.

• Geographical area of Aurangabad district is 10.07 lac Ha of which 8.12 lac Ha is under agriculture. About 0.1

lacs Ha is cultivable waste land and 1.37 lac Ha is under double cropping. The irrigated area of the district is

about 2.0 lacs Ha of which 30.4 % is irrigated on canal and tanks and 65.1% on open and bore wells. Total 3.2 %

is irrigated on lift irrigation schemes and 1.3% on other sources.

• The estimated gaps in production of major crops are maize (35.7%), bajara (48.3%), cotton (49.8%), Kharif

sorghum (43.2%), R Sorghum (52.2%), pigeon pea (59.0%), black gram (25.6%), soyabean (21.6%), wheat (31.3%)

gram (55.1%), s orange (47%), mango and c. apple (40%), pomegranate (60%), etc. The gaps in available agro-productivity, infrastructure, supply and requirements of agro-inputs are based on the feedback from farmers,

experts and departmental officials. Due consideration is given to The Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan

(C-DAP).

• There is a gap of 4018265 MT to fulfill the estimated fertilizer requirement of year 2020. The shortage of

electricity is affecting irrigation. The estimated need for food grain storage is 5 Lac MT and that of cold storage

is 0.34 Lacs MT for horticulture produce. Total capacity for processing of 1683 Lacs MT agro-produce needs to

be generated by 2020. This includes cereals, pulses, oil seeds, sugarcane, cotton and fruits. Similarly

development of agro-marketing arrangements is critical for development of agriculture.

7.4 Challenges

• Agriculture being one of the economic drivers of the district has a direct impact on the socio-economic

development of the region. There is an urgent need to accelerate agricultural growth to address the issues on

food security, nutritional adequacy and income generation. Some of the key issues influencing the

Agriculture production need to be harnessed to enhance the agriculture return. Low productivity of above

crops and lack of agro-marketing alternatives are the key issues / challenges that are affecting the sector’s

growth.

• The potential of above irrigated area is proposed to be raised by extending micro-irrigation methods in the

district. Emphasis would be to motivate the farmers to adopt micro-irrigation methods and water saving

technique by extending them financial and technological support.

• The proposed plan includes development of protective irrigation to 1.02 Lac Ha in next 10 years by adopting

well recharging measures to 50000 existing wells and digging of 5000 new wells in the district. The irrigation

potential also is planned to be developed through proposed major and medium scale projects of irrigation

department and by constructing 20000 new farm ponds. Besides, approximately 1.0 Lac Ha land will be

brought under micro-irrigation systems.

Soil Health Improvement Programme

• Massive Soil health improvement programme is proposed to cover about 2.0 lacs Ha area per year and

integrated pest management is planned to be implemented on 1.25 Lacs Ha per year that will help to save

cost of cultivation as well as increase crop productivity.

• Promote labour saving technologies and farm mechanization.

• Further this can also be linked up with on going Government schemes for motivating the farmers for its

adoption.

Total 12608


The above proposed activities for horticulture development will be implemented over a decade timeframe in

timely manner.

Background: The major agriculture input includes seeds, manures, fertilizers, chemical (pesticides) etc. Due to

lack of irrigation facilities, farmers dependent on rainfed agriculture are unable to switch over to better quality

input. High cost of input and lack of credit availability are major deterrents in farmers not taking the risk.

Seeds Replacement Ratio (SRR) in crops like K. Jawar, Bajra, Maize, cotton is 100%. However in case of Tur, Mung,

Udid, Groundnut, Soyabean, Rabbi Jawar, Wheat, Gram the SRR is very low at 10 %.

Organic Manures and Nutrient Management: As the use of Organic Manure is very low, the vision document

proposes to encourage the farmers to set up organic manure units such as NADEP compost, Vermi-compost etc.

Also capacity building of farmers for sharing related knowledge and improving their skill in production of

manures is being proposed. It is also proposed to introduce Nutrient Management Practices for major

agronomical and horticultural crops by carrying out scientific soil analysis as well as equipping the farmers to use

the appropriate fertilizers in efficient manner.

The estimated present use of fertilizers is 341980 MT in 2010-11 (Ref: CDAP) vis-a-vis the estimated requirement

of 4360245 MT in the year 2020.

Chemicals: Different type of pesticides, weedicides, growth regulators are required in crop production

programme. It is important to have Chemicals Testing Laboratories at different locations to enable judicious useof the same. The plan envisages establishment of 9 Seed and Chemical Test Laboratories in the district.

• Main crops consider for chemical usage are Jawar, Bajra, Maize, Tur, Mung, Udid, Groundnut, Soyabean,

Sunflower, Cotton, Sugarcane, Wheat, Gram

• Recommended and used pesticides best Endosulphan, Carbofuran, Ouinolphos, Dimethoate, Sulphur,

Monocrotophos, Fenvalrate, Carbondazirn, Carbondazim, Imidadoprid, Vilonocrotoths, Copper, Oxycloride,

Malathion etc.

• Current requirement of pesticides is 817734 kg/lit and requirement in 2020 would be 1101592 kg/ltr for

better productivity.

7.5.3 Value Addition

• The value addition measures supports to raise net returns from the farm produce by encouraging processing

of crops like cereals, pulses and oil seeds to generate additional value added. Though presently there are

some agro-processing units functional in the district, the quantity of produce being processed is too low.

Hence some more processing units are proposed to be set up through PPP in various blocks. The details of

the same are presented below.

7.5.4 Marketing:

• In Aurangabad marketing of agricultural produce is carried out through a network of Agriculture Produce

Marketing Committees (APMCs), both at district and Taluka levels. There are 10 APMCs and 19 Sub-Markets

yards in the district which provide place for free and fair trading, grading and weighing facilities, provide

storage facilities for the farmers.

• The major crops traded in the markets are Wheat, Jawar, Bajra, Tur, Mung, Udid, Onion, etc. In 2009-10, all

these APMCs had market arrivals of about 493500 MTs of food grains.

• The cooperative marketing network consists of District Marketing Federation, nine Taluka Sangh and nine

Fruits and Vegetables Marketing Societies. Of these 9 Fruits and Vegetable Marketing Societies, only three are

currently functioning. Due to inadequate marketing arrangements large number of farmers cannot take

advantage of these facilities. Secondly, due to high cost of transportation of produce to the godowns owned

by the market committees, the small and marginal farmers sell their produce to the traders indicating need

for higher storage capacity including cold storages.

To improve the agricultural productivity, it is essential to augment the quality of veterinary services over a

decade timely manner. More emphasis should be given on the introduction of new veterinary institutes.

Animal Husbandry : Sheep and Goats

• The topographical condition of the district provides good scope for goat/sheep rearing (Rearing of goats in

open fields is restricted)

• At present goat meat production in Aurangabad district is 2600 M.T. There are no ongoing schemes for

development for sheep and goats in Aurangabad district .

• Despite lack of attention, Goat population has increased steadily during the last 2 decades, which is 449939.

Osmanabad breed goat is famous and has won National Awards on several occasions. It is in great demand

all over the state and country for the reasons such as its sturdiness to diseases, early maturity, fast

multiplication through twin births, low fat contents in the meat apart from its delicious taste.

• Due to reasons like limited availability of grazing grounds, irregular rainfall, non-adoption of scientific

methods of breeding and rearing, lack of awareness on health care of animals, absence of organized market

for wool and meat, illiteracy among people etc. , the activity is not pick ing up on a large scale on commercial

basis.

• The importance of goat rearing/farming has increased due to its economic return as it needs minimum

inputs such as supplementary feeding, veterinary medicine and labor.

Breeding policy is primarily aimed at increase in meat production and wool production. Osmanabad

breed Bucks and Decanis breed Rams are identified as germ plasma for genetic up gradation of local breeds

in respective species.

Following strategies are suggested to augment growth rate of meat production in goat to 6% and

increase wool production:

• Breed village: It is a programme for scientific breeding of local goats and genetic up gradation, taking

village as a geographic unit for operation. Under the scheme, bucks of Osmanabad breed will be supplied to

goat rearing farmers in their village at 50% rate. These bucks will be produced at farms owned by stateSheep and Goat Development Corporation. Every year there will be verification of survival and proper

maintenance of these bucks by the committee.

• Supply of Osmanabad Does (Female Goat): Female members from SHGs of each taluka will be selected

for supply of 2 Osmanabad goats on 50 % subsidy cost basis. Cooperative banks may provide loan for the

remaining 50 % cost. The 1800 more female goats will be available in the district every year. These females

will be getting breeding services from the Osmanabad breed Bucks available in cluster of breed villages.

This will help in enhancing the growth rate of meat production. Budgetar y provision required is indicated

financial outlay of the project report.

• Training Camps & Exposure visit: Training camp and exposure visit on scientific rearing breeding disease

control etc. to be arranged at Taluka levels frequently, for imparting training to farmers/ laborers from BPLgroups, women members from SHGs and shepherds etc.

• Mini Slaughter Houses: Well organized mini slaughter houses are to be established, where water supply

and other required infrastructure facilities like cold storage, refrigerated vehicles for transporting etc. will

be available. This will help in producing hygienic mutton. Budgetary provision required is indicated in the

financial outlay of the report.

• Marketing of Goats/Sheep: Well organized marketing facilities will be provided at all talukas. Along with

proper shelters - clean drinking water etc, necessary provision is to be made to avoid interference frommiddle agencies so that the producer will get remunerative price for his sheep/goats. These strategies are

aimed to enhance growth rate of meat production to 6 percent.

• Sheep development: At present there are 95630 sheep in Aurangabad district. These are mostly reared by

nomadic type of breeders (Shepherds). Generally these sheep are of non-descript (local type) which yield

course wool. This fetches very low price (Rs 20 per kg). To enhance the quality and quantity of wool

production and for increasing the growth rate of meat production, shepherds need incentives like credit,

health cover breed improvement programmers and timely disposal of wool and meat at remunerative

price. Strategy suggested for sheep development is-

Supply of Deccany Rams: Deccany rams are to be supplied on 50 % subsidy to farmers/shepherds. Breeding of

local eves with Deccany rams will result in bringing about genetic improvement in the progeny born. Thus

there will be better weight gain helping for increasing the growth rate of meat production.

Other strategies suggested earlier with goat development like training camps to increase awareness for

better management and imparting training of carpet weaving and also for better flaying of hides/skins with

technical assistance from Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI) Chennai. Mini slaughter houses andmarketing of animals etc remain common. Budgetary provision required is indicated in the financial outlay of

the project report.

To meet the growing demand of meat and wood requirement proper breeding of specific species is proposed

over the decade times span. Appropriate support infrastructure and training / marketing support should be

provided.

• Climatic conditions (except for April and May) and topographical conditions of the district provide good

scope for poultry keeping

• The size of commercial broiler units ranges from 200 to 5000 birds and that of layer farms between 1000 to

10000 birds

• There are two hatcheries in the district, supplying day old chicks –

(1) Khadkeshwar hatcheries (Capacity 15 lac day old chicks per day)

(2) Central Hatchery at Padegam in the Government sector (Capacity 45000 day old chicks per day)

• Marketing of eggs is done through network of agents.

• Egg production of the district is 650 Lac which accounted 1.63% of State’s total egg production.

• Poultry meat production of the district is 440 MT

• Breeding policy for poultry aims at increased production of eggs & poultry meat by increasing productivity of

native poultry birds & introduction of new species of birds

• State may continue to supply Cross-Breed stocks of improved breed like R.I.R. for the purpose; these types of

stocks may be maintained by poultry farms owned by State

Strategies suggested for increasing Eggs & Poultry meat Production are:

• Small backyard poultry units : As per the breeding policy, for bringing about genetic improvement in local

poultry birds a unit of 23 bullets & 2 cockerels (of 8 weeks old age) of improved breed like Giriraj & Vanraj willbe supplied on 50% subsidy cost basis of women members of SHGs & BPL groups cost per unit amounts to

Rs.2000/- Total number of beneficiaries will be 100 women from each taluka, making a total of 8100

beneficiaries from the district during the plan period. This will help in increasing the number of improved

breed poultry birds & thus will enhance the growth rate of egg production.

• Supply of Hatching eggs to small and landless farmers, woman labours to increase the growth rate of egg &

meat production.

• Supply of poultry feed: To achieve sustainable growth in poultry farming, the poultry feed will be suppliedat 50% subsidy cost basis to the beneficiaries of all the proposed schemes. For these poultry feeds depots will

be established at each taluka place, where feed will be available at 50% subsidy cost basis. Remaining 50%

cost will be recovered from the sale of meat & eggs produced by the producers-beneficiaries.

• Training camps & exposure visit: Training camps with exposure visit will be organized at frequent intervals

at all talukas for women members from SHG’s farmer-laborers etc. for adopting scientific practices in poultry

rearing feeding etc.

• Disease control & health cover: A comprehensive disease management and health control in order to deal

with epidemics of boundary diseases, like Bird Flu & Avion Influenza etc. Diagnostic Center will be established

in the district for sero monitoring and surveillance.

• Strengthening of Central Hatchery:

• Establishment of duck & Emu breeding demonstration center

• Live-stock health care & disease control to manage some of the prominent emerging diseases like PPR, Blue

Tongue, Sheep Pox, Goat pox, Ranikhet & Bird Flu etc that cause substantial economic losses

• Since long efforts are being made to control diseases Viz. Rinderpest, Foot & Mouth, H.S.B.Q. & Anthrax etc.Although. Rinderpest has been eradicated, yet prevalence of the other diseases continues to be one of the

major problems in the animal production programme. There should be an effective surveillance &

monitoring system for diseases. There should also be mass immunization programmes against the most

prevalent diseases.

• The constraints for the low productivity of cocoons are as follows:

– Low consumption of DFLS and Low adoption 8 improved and recommended technologies

– Lack of facilities with the District Sericulture Office, Aurangabad for the training of farmers and

inadequate technical staff.

– Mulberry cultivation is scattered and there are no clusters of mulberry Garden in villages.

– Meager area of mulberry was under Bivoltine CSR hybrids and inadequate utilization of mulberry leaves

by the farmers.

• No chawki rearing facilities in the district No private cocoon reelers and cocoon market available in the

district.
