1 EARLY SEASON CROP FORECASTING WITH FASAL ECONOMETRIC MODEL: ITS USEFULNESS BEYOND FORECASTING Presented at International Seminar on Approaches and Methodologies for Crop Monitoring and Production Forecasting Under AMIS Global inititaive, May, 2016, Dhaka Bangladesh FASAL Institute of Economic Growth (IEG) University of Delhi Delhi Nilabja Ghosh

2 OBJECTIVE Consider Econometric modeling as a method to determine OUTLOOK of crop production before any crisis strikesunderstand FASAL Demonstration of estimates and forecasts Select Cases to demonstrate usefulness: PULSES for price control Policy options against crop promotion Acknowledgement: All Analysts who worked for FASAL at various times and contributed significantly to building up database, refining and applying model and method, setting up Software since Contribution to this presentation by M. Rajeshwor, FASAL and Yogesh Bhatt for work on Biofuel acknowledged

3 ESTIMATION OF CROP OUTPUT IN INDIAN AGRICULTURE A long time historical practice from colonial time Associated with land revenue system, Crop cutting experiments System improved over time- more scientific Burden on administration Errors, poor implementation of methods Delays: Too late to be useful for Policy. Gining significance for policy making in a world of volatile and integrated global markets, weather failures (climate change?),- Need to avoid food insecurity, inflation, price crash, potential unrests and suffering Early information to plan stocking and procurement, timely organization of logistics, credit, making trade strategy and market negotiations

4 EARLY ESTIMATES Assessments of production and Acreages of crops early in the season- Hhistorical practice Generally always subjective- eye observation State government responsibility local officials in charge maintained a register Excessive burden as they have multiple functions Institution available only in some states, others have small sample surveys (EARAS, TRS)- time consuming Early alerts and warnings useful even if imprecise Need for rigorous -method based, transparent and data driven scientific forecasts with regular monitoring and updating in tune with changes in production climate and model performance for Timely Policy support

5 FASAL AN UMBRELLA PROGRAM - Recommendation ( ) for a comprehensive project and strong mechanism with latest techniques to meet in-season forecast requirements Led by ISRO-SAC, associated with India s space program Visualized by SAC (Dr. Parihar): Since 2005 as a regular Systematic mechanism Multi-discipline and innovative: Generating multiple in-season crop forecasts at intervals in the year Partnership of Institutions under coordination of MoA- IEG, SASA, State SAC, IMD ISRO NRSC etc Final most reliable estimate from FASAL -RS Ministry puts on public domain 1AE-Sep 2AE-Jan 3AE- Apr 4AE-Jul and Final-Jan estimates of area and production of different crops. Inputs from State government, FASAL validation, support and comparison Under improvement, evolution

6 ECONOMETRIC MODEL BASED FORECAST Earliest among all in-season forecasts (F0 F1) Least informed -Based on reasonable assumptions on driving variables, known econ. Conditions, Prediction- Normal and alternate weather conditions scenarios. Policy assessment- potential of using estimated marginal effects and simulations Two stages: Acreage and Yield- Model estimation, Forecasts State level early estimates of area and yield (with ranges) for select crops in major growing states Forecast production- F-Area X F-Yield, Range based on SE of Area and yield predictions Projected for All-India aggregate using state totals and proportion based on recent history.-or alternative methods. Alternative scenarios of weather

7 Model in REDUCED FORM and ESTIMATION Driving variables are predetermined or exogenous Functional form-linear allowing interactions and quadratic terms Specification chosen on the basis of diagnostics- Sign of coefficients, t-stat>1 Robustness across specifications and sample sizes. Rbar Sq, DW, UR of error, AR corrected if indicated Dynamic Area equation (Nerlovian partial adjustment, price expectations), Yield allows for time trend, dummy variables for Policy (NFSM, BGREI, Bt. ) Estimation-Seemingly Unrelated Regression Equations (SURE) for competing crops in each state, Data: Official sources- MOA, IMD, M-Com&Ind Sample to Regular post sample validation, revision and up-dation of model 7

8 COVERAGE OF CROPS AND EXPLANATORY VARIABLES Explaining dependent variable Crop area and Crop yield per hectare Kharif - Rice, Jowar, Bajra, Maize, Cotton, Jute, Groundnut, Soybean, Sugarcane, Arhar, Moong and Urad. Rabi- Wheat, R&M, Groundnut, Jowar, Maize, Gram, - Major growing states, new states (JH, CHH, UKH, BH, MP, UP) with limited data. Onion, Potato- experimentally Explanatory variables Economic: Expected prices of crops and substitute crops (using state crop calendar), MSP (rice, wheat in procuring states), fertilizer price (cost) Irrigation: Source wise -Total available area as the variable (farmer allocates among crops) Rainfall and Temperature (States): monthly averages Sowing and growing seasons identified State level crop calendars, IMD monthly data Rainfall effects: Distribution matters interactions with soil moisture, reservoir, ground water and adverse effect of excess rainfall Temperature specification: Dummy for higher than average by 2%.

9 RAINFALL EFFECT IN MODEL Distribution matters: allow pre-season-(also pre-sowing, premonsoon, last monsoon) RF for soil moisture effect-monthly data Monsoon- June-Sept-Ocober, Timely rainfall or adequate soil moisture can influence crop choice and allocation of non-water input among crops Quadratic (squared) Rainfall: Excess rainfall (compared to optimum) may harm Interactions: Interactions of irrigation (source-wise) with rainfalltemporal distribution Complements: Pre-season (s) and current Rainfall can influence productivity of irrigation from specific sources- (enhancing reservoir level, ground water, tank water, help drainage of rainwater etc.) Substitute: Current or recent rainfall can influence productivity of irrigation (good rainfall can reduce need for irrigation, create drainage and w-management problem etc.)

13 SEASONS CROP CALENDAR West Bengal: Rice Kharif: Aus (Autumn, minor) : Feb-Apr (Sowing) July-Aug (Harvesting) and Aman (major): July-Aug (Sowing)- Nov-Dec (Harvesting) Rabi (Boro): Nov-Dec (Sowing) Mar June (Harvesting) Largest harvest is Aman, occurring in November and December second harvest is Aus, involving traditional strains but more often including highyielding, dwarf varieties. Rice for the Aus harvest is sown in March or April, benefits from April and May rains, matures during in the summer rain, and is harvested during the summer. Another rice-growing season extending during the dry season from October to March. The production of this Boro rice Madhya Pradesh: Wheat Rabi: Oct-Nov (Sowing) Feb-Mar (Harvesting) Karnataka-: Maize Kharif: May-June (Sowing) Sep-Oct (Harvesting) Uttar Pradesh: Potato Rabi: Oct- Nov (Sowing) Feb-March (Harvesting) 13

14 RICE SEASONS WEST BENGAL Sowing Season: Rice is sown mainly thrice in a year: Aman Rice sown in the rainy season (July-August) and harvested in winter. India produces Aman Rice mainly. Aus Rice sown in summer along with the premonsoonal showers and harvested in autumn is called Aus Rice. The quality of this rice is rather rough. Boro Rice sown in winter and harvested in summer is called Boro Rice or spring Rice. 14

19 Usefulness -forecasting for controlling prices of Pulses Pulses - dominant items in Indian diet - sources of nutrition (protein) India is deficit in Pulses production Promotion by policy TMOP-1990, TMO-1980, ISOPOM-1995 etc. Need for timely imports Pulses: 4.6 Ml. T in and 2.24 Ml. T imported in 2015 (April-Sept) Erratic Imports- options limited Managing scarcity of supply and price rise of Pulses a Challenge for the economy FASAL provided outlook in 2 nd consecutive drought year Presented at Krishi Bhavan, Ministry of Agriculture, New Delhi on 19 th August, 2015, Forecast of Pulses (also Oilseeds) using actual rainfall data up to 18 th August, 2015
