REPORT ON AREA, PRODUCTION, PRODUCTIVITY AND PRICES OF AGRICULTURE CROPS IN KARNATAKA 2 0 08-09 DRECTORATE OF ECONOMICS AND STATISTICS BANGALORE
PREFACE Agricultural statistics, particularly those relating to area, production and productivity have a very important role to play in the overall statistical system of the State. One of the key statistical publications being brought out by the Directorate of Economics and Statistics is Area, Production, Productivity and Prices of Agricultural Crops in Karnataka for 2008-09. This report, with Annual Season and Crop Statistics Report as the base for which the Record of Rights, Tenancy and Crop Inspection (Pahani) written by the Village Accountant is the principal source, depicts districtwise land use and further, seasonwise, cropping pattern, agricultural conditions and sourcewise and cropwise area irrigated. This report contains data on production and productivity of agriculture crops. Additionally it contains data on prices of agricultural produce. I have no doubt that, this will be a valuable data base to Planners, Administrators, Researchers and Academicians, particularly to those focusing on agriculture and allied areas. The Publication is prepared in the Agricultural Statistics Division of the Directorate of Economics and Statistics. Constructive suggestions for enhancing quality of the report are most welcome.

AREA, PRODUCTION, PRODUCTIVITY AND PRICES OF AGRICULTURE CROPS IN KARNATAKA, 2008-09 1. Introduction: Agriculture is still one of the priority sectors of the State s economy, particularly rural economy, not withstanding 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 decreased by about 5.2 lakh hectares due to untimely rainfall. 2. Seasonal Conditions: 2.1 During the agriculture year 2008-09, the actual rainfall in the State was 1232 mm as against the normal of 1198 mm, an increase of 2.8%.

8. Area, Production and Productivity of Crops: Production estimates are prepared in respect of 59 principal crops taking into account the area as recorded in reconciliation of crop area statistics 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 by taking in to account the average of previous three years for Haraka, Baragu, Badlivari and other small millets, Arecanut and Sunhemp and through oral enquiry of farmers for Nigerseed, Mustard, Papaya, Coconut, DryGinger, Cardamom, Garlic, Blackpepper,Coriander,Korle,otherpluses (excluding owpea) Cashewnut,Topioca,Sweetpotato and Mesta.The area cultivated unauthorisedly is also taken care for estimation of production. The cropwise details are as follows. 8.1 Cereals and Minor Millets: 8.1.1 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 53.7 lakh hectares of the total cropped area in the State during the year under review as against 54.9 lakh hectares during 2007-08.
