&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Low returns and high risks from alternative crops among reasons past efforts failed, says report&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Commission for Agricultural Cost and Prices (CACP) has recommended promotion of crop diversification, favouring oilseed crops amid the global inflation in oilseeds and vegetable oils prices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Global inflation creates a structural risk as vegetable oils account for about half of India&amp;rsquo;s agricultural import, subsequently raising the country&amp;rsquo;s agri-import bill, the commission wrote in its latest report released June 8,2022.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Farmers have widely chosen to grow rice and wheat in agro-climatically unsuitable regions, according to the study.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Assured procurement and minimum support prices (MSP) in the rice-wheat cropping pattern has resulted in rising share of paddy and wheat in total cropped area in some states, especially Punjab and Haryana, while the shares of oilseeds, pulses, maize and bajra have declined, said CACP.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The share of paddy has increased from 17.5 per cent in 1980-81 to 40.1 per cent in 2019-20 while the share of maize has declined from 5.6 per cent to 1.4 per cent, bajra from 1 per cent to 0.3 per cent, pulses from 5 per cent to 0.5 per cent, and oilseeds from 3.7 per cent to 0.6 per cent during the same period.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to a CACP analysis of different states and the crops they can diversify into from paddy farming, farmers may benefit by growing more maize in Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand; maize, moong, and sunflower in Bihar; bajra in Gujarat; jowar, bajra, maize, ragi, tur, moong, urad, groundnut, soybean and cotton in Maharashtra; groundnut and cotton in Rajasthan; seasamum in Tamil Nadu; bajra, maize, tur and groundnut in Uttar Pradesh; and moong in West Bengal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Farmers growing urad in Chhattisgarh, sesamum in Karnataka, paddy in Maharashtra and jowar in Telangana would be better off by diversifying into more agro-climatically suitable crops, the report said. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There have been several initiatives, especially in Punjab and Haryana, to encourage crop diversification through incentives but despite the promotion by central and state governments, not much progress has been made so far on crop diversification in the region.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;CACP highlighted a few reasons for that &amp;mdash; low returns and high risks from alternative crops, lack of assured marketing and remunerative prices, and non availability of appropriate proven technology for alternative crops, among others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Commission for Agricultural Cost and Prices (CACP) has recommended promotion of crop diversification, favouring oilseed crops amid the global inflation in oilseeds and vegetable oils prices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Global inflation creates a structural risk as vegetable oils account for about half of India&amp;rsquo;s agricultural import, subsequently raising the country&amp;rsquo;s agri-import bill, the commission wrote in its latest report released June 8,2022.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Farmers have widely chosen to grow rice and wheat in agro-climatically unsuitable regions, according to the study.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Assured procurement and minimum support prices (MSP) in the rice-wheat cropping pattern has resulted in rising share of paddy and wheat in total cropped area in some states, especially Punjab and Haryana, while the shares of oilseeds, pulses, maize and bajra have declined, said CACP.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The share of paddy has increased from 17.5 per cent in 1980-81 to 40.1 per cent in 2019-20 while the share of maize has declined from 5.6 per cent to 1.4 per cent, bajra from 1 per cent to 0.3 per cent, pulses from 5 per cent to 0.5 per cent, and oilseeds from 3.7 per cent to 0.6 per cent during the same period.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to a CACP analysis of different states and the crops they can diversify into from paddy farming, farmers may benefit by growing more maize in Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand; maize, moong, and sunflower in Bihar; bajra in Gujarat; jowar, bajra, maize, ragi, tur, moong, urad, groundnut, soybean and cotton in Maharashtra; groundnut and cotton in Rajasthan; seasamum in Tamil Nadu; bajra, maize, tur and groundnut in Uttar Pradesh; and moong in West Bengal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Farmers growing urad in Chhattisgarh, sesamum in Karnataka, paddy in Maharashtra and jowar in Telangana would be better off by diversifying into more agro-climatically suitable crops, the report said. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There have been several initiatives, especially in Punjab and Haryana, to encourage crop diversification through incentives but despite the promotion by central and state governments, not much progress has been made so far on crop diversification in the region.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;CACP highlighted a few reasons for that &amp;mdash; low returns and high risks from alternative crops, lack of assured marketing and remunerative prices, and non availability of appropriate proven technology for alternative crops, among others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Commission for Agricultural Cost and Prices (CACP) has recommended promotion of crop diversification, favouring oilseed crops amid the global inflation in oilseeds and vegetable oils prices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Global inflation creates a structural risk as vegetable oils account for about half of India&amp;rsquo;s agricultural import, subsequently raising the country&amp;rsquo;s agri-import bill, the commission wrote in its latest report released June 8,2022.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Farmers have widely chosen to grow rice and wheat in agro-climatically unsuitable regions, according to the study.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Assured procurement and minimum support prices (MSP) in the rice-wheat cropping pattern has resulted in rising share of paddy and wheat in total cropped area in some states, especially Punjab and Haryana, while the shares of oilseeds, pulses, maize and bajra have declined, said CACP.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The share of paddy has increased from 17.5 per cent in 1980-81 to 40.1 per cent in 2019-20 while the share of maize has declined from 5.6 per cent to 1.4 per cent, bajra from 1 per cent to 0.3 per cent, pulses from 5 per cent to 0.5 per cent, and oilseeds from 3.7 per cent to 0.6 per cent during the same period.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to a CACP analysis of different states and the crops they can diversify into from paddy farming, farmers may benefit by growing more maize in Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand; maize, moong, and sunflower in Bihar; bajra in Gujarat; jowar, bajra, maize, ragi, tur, moong, urad, groundnut, soybean and cotton in Maharashtra; groundnut and cotton in Rajasthan; seasamum in Tamil Nadu; bajra, maize, tur and groundnut in Uttar Pradesh; and moong in West Bengal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Farmers growing urad in Chhattisgarh, sesamum in Karnataka, paddy in Maharashtra and jowar in Telangana would be better off by diversifying into more agro-climatically suitable crops, the report said. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There have been several initiatives, especially in Punjab and Haryana, to encourage crop diversification through incentives but despite the promotion by central and state governments, not much progress has been made so far on crop diversification in the region.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;CACP highlighted a few reasons for that &amp;mdash; low returns and high risks from alternative crops, lack of assured marketing and remunerative prices, and non availability of appropriate proven technology for alternative crops, among others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Global inflation creates a structural risk as vegetable oils account for about half of India&amp;rsquo;s agricultural import, subsequently raising the country&amp;rsquo;s agri-import bill, the commission wrote in its latest report released June 8,2022.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Farmers have widely chosen to grow rice and wheat in agro-climatically unsuitable regions, according to the study.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Assured procurement and minimum support prices (MSP) in the rice-wheat cropping pattern has resulted in rising share of paddy and wheat in total cropped area in some states, especially Punjab and Haryana, while the shares of oilseeds, pulses, maize and bajra have declined, said CACP.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The share of paddy has increased from 17.5 per cent in 1980-81 to 40.1 per cent in 2019-20 while the share of maize has declined from 5.6 per cent to 1.4 per cent, bajra from 1 per cent to 0.3 per cent, pulses from 5 per cent to 0.5 per cent, and oilseeds from 3.7 per cent to 0.6 per cent during the same period.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to a CACP analysis of different states and the crops they can diversify into from paddy farming, farmers may benefit by growing more maize in Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand; maize, moong, and sunflower in Bihar; bajra in Gujarat; jowar, bajra, maize, ragi, tur, moong, urad, groundnut, soybean and cotton in Maharashtra; groundnut and cotton in Rajasthan; seasamum in Tamil Nadu; bajra, maize, tur and groundnut in Uttar Pradesh; and moong in West Bengal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Farmers growing urad in Chhattisgarh, sesamum in Karnataka, paddy in Maharashtra and jowar in Telangana would be better off by diversifying into more agro-climatically suitable crops, the report said. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There have been several initiatives, especially in Punjab and Haryana, to encourage crop diversification through incentives but despite the promotion by central and state governments, not much progress has been made so far on crop diversification in the region.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;CACP highlighted a few reasons for that &amp;mdash; low returns and high risks from alternative crops, lack of assured marketing and remunerative prices, and non availability of appropriate proven technology for alternative crops, among others.&lt;/p&gt;

Diversify crops, shift rice to places that can support it: Central panel -Shagun

-Down to Earth Low returns and high risks from alternative crops among reasons past efforts failed, says report The Commission for Agricultural Cost and Prices (CACP) has recommended promotion of crop diversification, favouring oilseed crops amid the global inflation in oilseeds and vegetable oils prices. Global inflation creates a structural risk as vegetable oils account for about half of India’s agricultural import, subsequently raising the country’s agri-import bill, the commission wrote in its latest report released June 8,2022. Farmers have widely chosen to grow rice and wheat in agro-climatically unsuitable regions, according to the study. Assured procurement and minimum support prices (MSP) in the rice-wheat cropping pattern has resulted in rising share of paddy and wheat in total cropped area in some states, especially Punjab and Haryana, while the shares of oilseeds, pulses, maize and bajra have declined, said CACP. The share of paddy has increased from 17.5 per cent in 1980-81 to 40.1 per cent in 2019-20 while the share of maize has declined from 5.6 per cent to 1.4 per cent, bajra from 1 per cent to 0.3 per cent, pulses from 5 per cent to 0.5 per cent, and oilseeds from 3.7 per cent to 0.6 per cent during the same period. According to a CACP analysis of different states and the crops they can diversify into from paddy farming, farmers may benefit by growing more maize in Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand; maize, moong, and sunflower in Bihar; bajra in Gujarat; jowar, bajra, maize, ragi, tur, moong, urad, groundnut, soybean and cotton in Maharashtra; groundnut and cotton in Rajasthan; seasamum in Tamil Nadu; bajra, maize, tur and groundnut in Uttar Pradesh; and moong in West Bengal. Farmers growing urad in Chhattisgarh, sesamum in Karnataka, paddy in Maharashtra and jowar in Telangana would be better off by diversifying into more agro-climatically suitable crops, the report said.   There have been several initiatives, especially in Punjab and Haryana, to encourage crop diversification through incentives but despite the promotion by central and state governments, not much progress has been made so far on crop diversification in the region. CACP highlighted a few reasons for that — low returns and high risks from alternative crops, lack of assured marketing and remunerative prices, and non availability of appropriate proven technology for alternative crops, among others.
