Institutional constrains
Defective agrarian structure small & fragmented land
Zamindari mahalwari ryotwari
In 1947, 173 million acresOut of 324 million acresWere with intermediaries
Low incomeLow productivityNo incentiveUncertaintyExploitationPovertyinequality
Agricultural statistics 2004In 1994-95,Avg.size of land holding 1.42 hec61.6% total land holdings uneconomical.
Reasons : population pressure, law of inheritance, Nuclear family, decline of handicraft industry, debts
Effects : non mechanization, low productivity, poverty, further debts

Chp. 2 Technological Change in AgricultureThe New Agricultural Strategy ( Green Revolution) 1966: New Technology was introduced which was a package of measures offered to Indian FarmersTo increase production and productivity and make India self sufficient and self reliant in food grain production
Intensive Agricultural District Programme (IADP) in 1960-61 in 7 districts
Extension in 1966 –Measures undertaken under IADP are 1) use of HYV seeds 2) better water management 3) use of fertilisers & pesticides 4) educating farmers 5) providing better credit & marketing 6) better irrigation 7) better mechnisation

Impact of Green RevolutionAchievements
1) Foodgrain production
Wheat: 11 to 76 M. T.(60-61 to 99-00)Rice: 35 to 90 M.T.(60-61 to 99-00)Foodgrains: 212 to 217.3 million T. during 01-02 to 06-07
2) More productivityFoodgrains: 783 to 1626 kgs per hectare (67-68 to 00-01) 3) Changes in Agricultural Practices4)Employment Generation
5) Linkage with Industry6) Changes in attitude of farmers

TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES IN AGRICULTURE
BASIC INPUTS:
Cultivation – Japanese method of rice cultivation.
Seeds – HYV Seeds. Institutional framework has been developed to generate Quality seeds through central & state Government participation. Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) State Agricultural Universities National Seed Corporation (NSC) 15 State Seeds Corporations (SSCs) State Farms Corporation of India (SFCI) & seed companies

Irrigation – major & minor dams, borewells, pumpsets, drip irrigation.
In India about 60% of foodgrains production comes from 39% of irrigated area and 40% of remaining production comes from 61% of rainfed area.
During 50 years of independence, the Government had spent about 231,400/- crores( at 1996-97) prices) on major ,medium and minor irrigation works, leading to growth in The country’s irrigation potential from 23 million hectare (1950-51) to 89 million heatare (1996-97)
Pest Control – pest control methods have been developed to Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Efffective IPM packages are designed & developed for rice, cotton, sugarcane, pulses, oilseeds etc.

Agricultural Engineering - Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) has designed a variety of marketable implements & machines for field operations
Technology Mission on Oilseeds, pulses & maize - launched by the Central Government in 1986 and was extended to pulses, oil palm & maize in 1991, 1992 & 1996 Various schemes were implemented. Oilseeds Production Programme (OPP) National Pulses Development Project (NPDP) Accelerated Maize Development Programme (AMDP) Oil Palm Development Programme ( OPDP)Extension Services – for farmers trainingKisan Call Centre – introduced in 2004. 144 Call Centre Agents use 21 local dialects toll free number 1551 & 1800-180-1551 from 6am to 10 pm for 7 days Department of Agriculture & Cooperation has developed a data structure Kisan Knowledge Management System (KKMS) to help KCC provide correct answersI.T. use of IT for information & also to update land ownership records

AGRICULTURAL PRICINGNeed for agricultural price policy…..???To provide remunerative pricesTo provide incentivesTo promote capital formationTo have better terms of trade between agri & non-agri sector.To reduce income inequalityTo prevent inbuilt fluctuations
ADMINISTERED PRICES: YEARLY BASIS
Recommendation of Jha committee1964-65Agricultural Price Commission – 1965 recently called as –COMMISSION FOR AGRICULTURAL COSTS & PRICES ( CACP)
![Page 17: Module II Agri](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042610/577cc20f1a28aba711941461/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
FACTORS CONSIDERED WHILE DETERMINING PRICES BY CACP: cost of production Risk factorsEffect on industrial costEffect on cost of livingEffect on general price levelInternational price situationChanges in agricultural input pricesMarket pricesDemand & supplyTrends in the past price levels

Lower thanProcurement Prices.
( in 2009-10, issue price per quintal for wheat was 610)- & for rice,795/- for APL for BPL, 415/- for wheat & 565/- for rice; for AAY, it was 300/- per quintal)

M.S.P.: ANNOUNCED EACH YEAR BY CACP.CONSIDERS MANY FACTORS WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON COST FACTOR; IMPORTANT COST CONCEPTS USED ARE C2 & C3 costs:
C2 = all actual expenses in cash and kind incurred in production by actual owner + rent paid for leased land + imputed value of family labor + interest on value of owned capital assets + rental value of owned land ( net of land revenue).
C3 = C2 + 10% of cost to account for managerial remuneration to the farmer.
