1 Villages/Districts Development Model Doubling Farmers Income in aspirational districts Sarjiwan Manhas Chairman CropLife India 1

2 Aspirational backward Districts selected by Government for Development : ~115 Capacity of States kept in mind Programme covers 28 States Aspirational Districts Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare (4) Narmada Godda Dahod YSR Kadappa Source : NITI-aayog Other districts allocated to different ministries 26

3 Annual Ranking of performance of districts Objective & measurable indicators identified in focus sectors. Benchmarking with the best District in India and States. Progress captured on real time basis Sectors Health and Nutrition 30% Education 30% Agriculture and Water Resources Financial inclusion and skill formation Proposed Weight 20% 10% Basic Infrastructure 10% Ranking on change Dashboard reflects the change in ranking of district on continuous basis 3

4 Agriculture & Water Resources (20%) Top performance Indicators Fertilizer use Water bodies rejuvenated under MGNREGA Artificial Insemination coverage Agricultural productivity of Rice and Wheat Net sown area under micro-irrigation Certified quality seed distribution Agricultural credit Percentage of animals vaccinated Crop Insurance under Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana Soil Health Cards distributed in II Cycle as compared to I Transactions in District mandi linked to enam All these indicators will be Benchmarked with best Districts in India Indicate where industry can intervene

5 What Crop Protection Industry doing to uplift farmers productivity and income Major companies doing lot of work in educating the farmers about best agriculture practices including safe and judicious use Many companies have developed innovative platforms/models Use of digital platforms on increase so as to reach millions of small and marginal farmers In addition, individual companies doing various work under CSR like i-clean, availability of portable water, clean energy efforts in rural areas. There is excellent scope to work with Govt. in PPP mode Models adopted by a company to promote good agriculture practices and increase productivity 5

6 Models for development of villages/districts for enhancing Agriculture productivity Village adoption model with multiple services - by UPL Reference Farms models- With ripple affect in adjoining cluster villages for key crops by Syngenta Agriculture entrepreneurs model covering large number of small and marginal farmers by Syngenta 6

7 Model 1 Villages adoption 7

8 Seven Ways to double farmers income Support in increasing productivity and higher cropping intensity Provide cost-efficient services; advisory, mechanization, storage facilities Moving to high value crops Primary handling of horticulture produce Link farmers with markets/corporate procuring to enable higher remuneration Improve income by allied sources Weather risk insurance

9 Selected Village Clusters Maharashtra Village Sai Kheda-Khurd cluster- cotton crop, District Yavatmal Village Kaulkhed cluster- cotton crop, District Akola Rajasthan Village Jhalawar cluster- citrus crop, District Jhalawar, Rajasthan

11 Model 2 Reference farms for productivity 11

12 India : Make crops more efficient Cluster of Farms : 7 Reference Farms : 44 CL7 CL5 CL1 CL4 CL3 Benchmark farms : 120 All data independently collected by an agency Market Probe CL6 CL2 Rice : 1-3, Soyabean :4, Cotton : 5 Corn :6, Tomato : 7 Tracking for productivity and resource efficiency Land productivity Nutrient efficiency Pesticide efficiency Application efficiency Water efficiency

13 About Reference and Benchmark Farms Benchmark farms= Use conventional products and growing practices but are otherwise similar in conditions and farm characteristics to reference farm Reference farms = Customers who follow optimized crop protocols and practices and use of advised solutions on parts or all of their cultivation area CROP NO OF RF REMARKS CORN 4 KARNATAKA, TELANGANA TOMATO 7 KARNATAKA, MH, GUJRAT, RAJ. RICE 18 KARNATAKA, HR, WB, CHATTISGARH, JHARKHNAD, TN, UP, BIHAR COTTON 10 MH, AP,TELANGANA SOYBEAN 5 MP,MH

14 Key objectives of the project is to make crops more efficient, improve farmland practices, help biodiversity and safe & judicious of crop protection products What is being done Training on Soil health. Collection of soil samples and Soil health analysis from reputed laboratory. Advise on fertilizer use as soil health Training on pests and diseases and designed crop protocol. Training on safe and judicious use and Biodiversity practices. Educating about safe pesticide storage of Crop protection products Safe disposal of empty containers by linking to local expert agencies. Advise on border plants to avoid soil erosion and increase pollination By 2020, productivity and income of these farmers under reference will be measured

15 Model 3 Developing Agri-entrepreneurship for productivity Improvement of small and marginal farmers 15

16 It is a Sanskrit word meaning creation Project for creating & nurturing agri entrepreneurs Create opportunity for smallholders to enhance their productivity by right use of knowledge and technology Contribute to food security Improving socio economic conditions of small and marginal farmers

17 Service at the doorsteps for all round agriculture knowledge and technology More than 80% Indian farmers have <2 hectares 50% have minimal access to Knowledge, Inputs & Technologies (KITs) In 2012 Project Nirmiti was conceived - Project started in most backward districts of Orissa, Assam and Jharkhand - People with good agronomy knowledge, expertise about local conditions and passion to work with rural communities were appointed as agri-entrepreneurs - KITs were provided to small farmers in remote areas thru Agri entrepreneurs

18 From concept to reality Translating the concept of Project Nirmiti to reality was a huge learning experience.nirmiti - how it works Syngenta develop agri-entrepreneurs, conducts training in crop solutions, campaigns and capability development Agri. entrepreneurs register farmers, support with knowledge, inputs and technologies Conducts campaign, gets orders and makes available KITs Center of Excellence (CoE) stocks and supplies products/services against orders Farmers receive KITs at their doorstep and grow their productivity and income Crop solutions Soil testing Farm tools and equipment

19 Project Nirmiti- our ambition Ensure self-sustainability Million plus smallholders Replicate & scale-up across geographies Establish sustainable business model pilots in smallholder geographies aimed at enhancing farmer yield and income 10,000 smallholders 100,000 smallholders The project has been scaled-up to 3 states in 23 districts, 1,725 villages with an outreach of >64,000 smallholders through a network of 450 well trained and equipped Agri entrepreneurs Collaboration of Syngenta, Agri entrepreneurs and smallholders Productivity of rice farmers increased by 57% and profitability by 40%

20 What people say When I began following the complete Syngenta protocol with support from the Nirmiti Team, a miracle happened! I got 35 quintals per acre from my plot which had till last year not given more than20 quintals of output! The resulting crop got readily accepted in the market due to its superior quality. I am also thankful for the agronomy knowledge, pest management techniques and mechanization knowhow given to me by the Nirmiti team. Chakradhar Giri Nirmiti Farmer, Odisha, IND I am extremely happy that I am getting quality input and knowledge at the doorstep. Diganta Das, Farmer, Lakhimpur-Assam It is an honor to be a partner in Nirmiti where thrust is on the development of smallholders whom we will be depending on for our future food supplies. Hitesh Shah, Director, Foggers India Ltd., COE Partner.

21 The story of a typical Nirmiti smallholder farmer I could never go to school, but with my increased income I can now provide a sound education to my younger siblings and my children. Name - Chakradhar Giri Crop - Rice, farm size ha Location - Jamunaposi, a hilly region of Odisha, IND Before Nirmiti Access to inputs km (6 hrs) Farming practice - local rice variety and with limited use of chemistry (generic), no access to know-how & technology Yield - 1,400 kg/acre After Nirmiti (2013 onwards) Access to inputs - at his doorstep Farming practice - Syngenta hybrid with total solution, knowhow and technologies Yield - 3,500 kg/acre

22 Nirmati project model is now being replicated Syngenta Foundation where it will be scaled up in next 5 years. Plan is to develop ~100,000 agrientrepreneurship with input access technology & information and output linkages to lift small and marginal farmers and double their income.

23 What is the way forward 23

24 Crop losses due to pests are from 15-30% (Pre and Post Harvest) where crop protection industry can play major role to enhanced productivity and income. Advise on right agronomic practices from seed to seed - Which crop to grow and when - Weather forecast - Soil Health - Availability/use of right agri-inputs ( seeds, fertilizer and crop protection products) - Safe and judicious use of Crop protection products - Advise on Irrigation and usage of water Hose reel machine Technology?

25 What is way forward for Government and Crop Protection Industry just few ideas Adopt few districts (preferably with Ministry of Agriculture and respective State Govts.) in PPP Mode?? Other Ministries coordination? Top Ten companies adopt 1 district each for overall agriculture development as per key indicators. Select cluster of villages in the district for effective implementation Establish forward and backward linkages through enam Local KVK,s and University to be roped in.

26 What is way forward for Government and Crop Protection Industry just few ideas Baseline studies by independent agency in 2019 and then work to make it model districts within span of 5 years. Local MP/MLA funds also to be used? Funds spend/dedicated for these activities to be covered under CSR? All activities should be coordinated/monitored through district collectors/commissioner Connection with Niti aayog? Time lines to be decided Kick off the projects in 1 st Qtr of 2019? To be deliberated further among the Industry and Government
