4 AREA, PRODUCTION, PRODUCTIVITY AND PRICES OF AGRICULTURE CROPS IN KARNATAKA, Introduction: Agriculture is still one of the priority sectors of the State s economy, particularly rural economy, not with standing its diminishing share in the State domestic product. Several policies and programmes are being planned and implemented by government from time to time to improve productivity. Besides improved techniques for the development of agriculture and higher agriculture production, timely and sufficient rainfall and weather conditions are also crucial factors. During the year under report, the total cropped area has increased by about 2.0 lakh hectares due to sufficient rainfall. 2. Seasonal Conditions: 2.1 During the agriculture year , the actual rainfall in the State was 1493 mm as against the normal of 1197 mm, an increase of 24.7%. Rainfall was excess in 14 districts, {Bangalore (R), Belgaum, Chamarajnagara, Chikkaballapur, Chitradurga, Dakshina Kannada, Davangere, Hassan, Haveri, Kolar, Koppal, Mandya, Mysore, and Tumkur}. Normal in all other districts {Bagalkote, Bangalore (urban), Bellary, Bidar, Bijapur, Chickmagalur, Dharwad, Gadag, Gulbarga, Kodagu, Raichur, Ramanagar, Shimoga, Udupi, Uttara Kannada and Yadgir}. But there was excess rainfall during Rabi, normal in Kharif and Deficit in Summer seasons. The season wise actual and normal rainfall are given in Table 1 and districtwise and season wise details in Annexure 1.

Area under Coconut, Cotton, Tobacco, Mulberry and other non food crops increased during compared to Area under some food and nonfood crops decreased due to untimely rain and change of crops and the area under some food and nonfood crops increased due to good demand and price in market and profitability. District wise area covered under food and non-food crops with their percentage to State s total are presented in Annexure Area, Production and Productivity of Crops: Production estimates are prepared in respect of 60 principal crops taking into account the area as recorded in reconciliation of crop area statistics and Annual season and crop statistics Report and the yield rate obtained on the basis of the results of crop cutting experiments. In respect of fruit and vegetable crops, the estimated area and results of crop cutting experiments conducted under the scheme Crop Estimation Survey on Fruit and Vegetable Crops are taken in to account. For the calculation of production estimates of crops for which no crop cutting experiments were conducted, the yield rates were calculated through oral enquiry of farmers for Nigerseed, Mustard, Papaya, Coconut, Dry Ginger, Cardamom, Garlic, Blackpepper, Coriander, Korle, Madaki, Peas, Cashewnut, Arecanut, Topioca, Sweetpotato and Mesta and by traditional method for Haraka, Baragu and Sunhemp. The area under unauthorized cultivation is also taken care for estimation of production. The cropwise details are as follows. 8.1 Cereals and Minor Millets: Paddy, Jowar, Ragi, Bajra, Maize and Wheat are the important cereals and navane, save are the minor millets grown in the State. Total of these cover 54.5 lakh hectares of the total cropped area in the State during the year under review as against 54.8 lakh hectares during Area, production and productivity of these crops during and are presented in Table

The production recorded highest under pulses in Gulbarga (3.9 lakh tonnes) followed by Bijapur (2.2 lakh tonnes). Yield of pulses was highest in Kolar (1218 kgs per hect) followed by Bangalore (Rural) (1146 kgs per hect) and lowest in U.Kannada (352 kgs per hect). 8.3 Total Food grains: The total area under food grains in the State was 82.4 lakh hectares during as against 79.6 during This area was largest in Gulbarga (9.5lakh hectares) followed by Bijapur (7.8 lakh hectares) and least in Bangalore (Urban) (0.3 lakh hectares). 13

17 8.3.2 Total food grains production in the State was lakh tonnes during as against lakh tonnes during The increase in production was due to increase in production of Paddy and Maize and also due to increase in yield rates. The highest production was in Davanagere (12.7 lakh tonnes) followed by Belgaum (10.0 lakh tonnes) and the lowest in Bangalore (Urban) (0.7 lakh tonnes).

The area under Castor and Linseed remains the same. The largest area registered in Chitraduga (1.8 lakh hectares) followed by Belgaum (1.5 lakh hectares). Decrease in area is mainly due to decrease of area in Sunflower Total production of oilseeds increased during the year compared to , from 9.0 to 10.9 lakh tonnes. This is mainly due to increase in yield under Groundnut, Sunflower and Soya bean. The total production of oilseeds was the highest in Belgaum (1.2 lakh tonnes) followed by Chitradurga (1.0 lakh tonnes). and Dharwad (0.9 lakh tonnes). The average yield was highest in Udupi (1858 kgs per hectare) district. District wise details are given in Annexure-8.
