Present system of Agriculture in Andaman and Nicobar Islands

 

 

Out of the total geographical area of 8249 sq.km. land, the land available for agriculture activities is only about 50,000 ha. At present initiative are taken to utilize available fallow land and unutilized land under horticulture and plantation crops.

The land utilization pattern is as follows: -

1.   Paddy                                          - 12000 ha.

2.   Vegetables                                   -  4250 ha.

3.   Coconut                                      -  25205 ha.

4.   Arecanut                                     -   4354 ha.     

5.   Fruits                                          -   4136 ha.

6.   Spices                                         -   1299 ha.

7.   Rubber                                        -   1500 ha.

8.   Red Oil Palm                                 -   1593 ha.

9.   Cashew                                       -     800 ha.

10. Fallow land/ Vacant land                 -     461 ha.

  

  Total                                                         - 55598 ha. (This area include inter crops

                                                                                   also)      

 

 

            Consequent on blanket ban imposed on clearance of further forest land for agricultural purpose, more emphasis has been given for increasing the agricultural production in the limited existing land by adopting multiple cropping system for which the department is extending assistance to the farmers in the form of supplying required agricultural inputs, technology and extension support.

 

            Keeping in view of the ever-increasing population of these Islands and very limited land available for agricultural purpose, the Department of Agriculture has formulated suitable schemes for increasing the productivity of the land from every unit area. Facilities provided to the farmers by the Department of Agriculture under various plan schemes is at Annexure-I.

            

           Out of the total 50000 ha. land available for agriculture purpose, 12000 ha. are flat land. Paddy is the main field-crop of these Islands during Kharif season. Cultivation of paddy is spread over 8-10 Islands where settlement have been established. Area available for paddy cultivation in different Islands is annexed (Annexure-II). Paddy cultivation in Kharif is followed by cultivation of a second crop of paddy, oilseeds and pulses. Though the Islands fall under humid tropics with more than 3180 mm of rainfall annually, field crops like pulses, oilseeds have limited scope in these Islands owing to uncertain weather conditions. 

         

           Most of the farmers in these Islands have been allotted with 2 ha. of hilly land and 2 ha. of paddy land. The hilly lands are utilized for cultivation of plantation and horticulture crops like coconut, arecanut, fruits like mango, Pineapple, guava, jackfruit, sapota, citrus fruits and spices crops in these Islands.  In addition, red oil palm, rubber, cashewnut fruits like mango, Banana, citrus are also cultivated. Pineapple, guava and sapota are grown in hilly land in a scattered way and no pure fruit orchard is available. Since the climatic condition of these Islands is quite congenial for development of fruits, the Department is encouraging the farmers to take up fruit cultivation both under UT plan schemes as well as Centrally Sponsored Schemes. In addition to the horticulture crops, vegetable is also a major crop in these Islands in about 3900 ha. Every year, vegetable is also a major crop cultivated in Kharif season in the limited area of Neil Island, Havelock. Maccapahar and Little Andaman where the soils are mostly porous, well drained and suitable for vegetable cultivation. Generally indigenous vegetables like Bhindi, Lobia, Brinjal, Cucurbits, Marsa, Poi, Radish etc. are cultivated in Kharif season. Cultivation of vegetable is taken up through out the Islands in the Rabi season in the fallow land available after harvest of paddy. Some varieties of exotic vegetables like Cauliflower, Knolkhol, Tomato, Capsicum etc are also cultivated during Rabi season taking advantage of the short spell of winter season. The major area falls in Diglipur, Rangat and Little Andaman. Though vegetables are cultivated in summer season (Rabi) their cultivation is confined to selected areas only where there are facilities for irrigation either from sunken well, ponds and in certain places from perennial nallahs. 

 

Major agricultural crops grown in different islands and area and production of different crops for the year 2001-2002 is at Annexure –III. 

            

          Unlike mainland, there are no Agro-Industries/Cooperatives or private agencies in this UT to deal with the procurement and supply of agricultural inputs. Due to non existence of such agencies, the Department of Agriculture is shouldering the full responsibilities for procurement, transportation and distribution of all kinds of inputs even to the remote areas of these Islands through a network of godowns/sub-depots and agriculture sub-depots established through out the Islands. 

            

          The development of agriculture depends fully upon adopting improved and latest technology in the field of farmers. Emphasis has been laid in intensifying in-service training programme for the technical personnel Central Agriculture Research Institute, Port Blair and also arranging training programmes by utilizing the expertise from mainland. Such training programmes are repeated to enable the departmental technical hands to acquaint themselves with the latest available technologies in agriculture and to make them resourceful to transfer such latest technologies to the farmers of these Islands. Suitable programme have also been chalked out to conduct fortnightly/monthly training to the farmers. 

           

         In addition, farmers are selected and deputed on study tours to mainland to acquaint themselves with the latest methodologies adopted by the farmers of different parts of India. Churcha mondals are also held from time to time, to get feed back from the farmers.

 

            

          The Department of Agriculture maintains 33 Nos. of plantation/farms/ nurseries in different parts of the territory to produce better seeds, planting materials and also to provide necessary demonstration in growing different crops systematically and by using latest technology for the benefit of the farmers. 

 

Limited Scope for Area Expansion:-

        Due to blanket ban on further clearance of forest, the agricultural activities remain confined to the limited available agriculture land of 50,000 ha.  The major agriculture produce of these Islands are coconut, arecanut, fruits like banana, mango, papaya and spices like clove, pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg.  In addition, field crops mainly paddy and vegetables are also grown in an area of 12000 ha.

Objectives

1.                  To improve substantially the living conditions of tribals & farming community of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

2.                  To augment/supplement/complement/replace the present cropping pattern of unproductive and uneconomic crops.

3.                  Availability of labour being poor and extensive focus is on selecting horticultural crops and technologies which are capable of substantial growth in the income of the farmers/tribals.

Focus on identified cropping pattern for development

*    There is an immense scope for a basic industry for packaging tender coconut water in poly-packs in view of tourist influx in these Islands.

*    As there is a lot of scope for value added coconut products there is an immediate need to exploit this resource to its optimum level by creating all infrastructure in proper place.

*    A pure coconut garden (Coconut monocropping) yields only Rs. 12,600/- per ha. whereas a coconut garden with fruit and spices as intercrop can enhance the value from unit area.

*    Within the next five years the area under spices can be doubled by growing these as intercrop in the plantations in South Andaman, Hutbay, Katchal, Kamorta and Campbell Bay. Demand for value added spices is on the increase.

*    Essential oils and oleoresin are the major value added spices products, which can be exported. Infrastructure for extraction of essential oil and oleoresin like Distillation Plant with Packaging Centre are to be created .

*    Organic spices are gaining great momentum in the world market. There is very good scope for production and export of organic spices. 25% of the area under spices can be brought under organic spices cultivation.

*    Some tropical fruits having export potential like Mangosteen, Durian, Rambutan, Grape fruit/Pomelo and Longan   are to be introduced by importing planting materials from mainland. These fruits can be grown as intercrop in coconut garden in 350 ha. 

*    There is also good scope for export of superior Banana from these islands.

*    Introducing new high yielding /tissue culture varieties of Banana, will fetch better price and will have better market.

*    There are more than 300 medicinal plants in these islands identified by Botanical Survey of India. Nearly 1500 hect of the area can be brought under these as intercrop in coconut plantations within the next five years. Besides these being soil binders, can also fetch remunerative income to the farmers if the Govt. provides marketing set up.  Study and survey has to be conducted for the export potential of endemic viable species.

*    Aromatic varieties of Lemon grass, Citronella, Patchouli and medicinal plants like Pippali ,Aonla, Stevia, Kalihari/Glory Lily, Neem etc   can be cultivated with industrial support.

*    Great scope for floriculture especially orchids on commercial scale.

        

     Investment plan and Infrastructure requirement for coconut, fruits, spices and other crops and their are at Annexures IV – IX.
