VI. Forecasting Agricultural Output using Space, Agro-

Meteorology and Land Based Observation (FASAL): To

strengthen the current capabilities of in season multiple crop

estimation through combination of Remote Sensing, Agro-met

and Land based observations backed by econometric

approaches.

6. Salient Features (I) Agriculture Census: It is conducted at an interval of 5 years. The

reference period in the survey is the agriculture year starting from

July to June. The basic unit of the census is operational

holdings.Agriculture Census is implemented in three distinct

phases and data are tabulated by different size groups of holdings

48

viz., marginal (below 1.00 ha.), small (1.00-2.00ha.) semi-medium

(2.00-4.00 ha.), medium (4.00-10.00 ha.) and large (10.00 ha. and

above) and social groups. The results of Agriculture Census are

published in three reports viz., (i) All India Report on number and

area of operational holdings. (ii) All India Report on agriculture

Census with information on number, area and other basic

characteristics of operational holdings such as land use, cropping

pattern, irrigation status, tenancy etc. (iii) All India Report on input

survey with information on use of inputs by operational holdings.

The results of Agriculture Census are published in the form of

reports and are placed on the website of the Department at

http://agcensus.nic.in for public use.

(II) Comprehensive Scheme for Studying the Cost of Cultivation of

Principal Crops in India: State-wise and crop-wise cost estimates

generated through CS Scheme are being used by Commission for

Agricultural Cost and Prices (CACP) for recommendation of

Minimum Support Prices (MSP) to GoI. Marketed Surplus Ratio

(MSR) is also being estimated and reported in the annual

publication of Agricultural Statistics at a Glance.Cost Study data is

also used by various Government organizations / Institutions,

components namely (i) Timely Reporting Scheme (TRS),

(ii)Improvement of Crop Statistics (ICS) and (iii)Establishment of

an Agency for Reporting of Agricultural Statistics (EARAS) . The

objective of TRS is to obtain estimates of area of principal crops, in

each season, with the breakup of area under irrigated/unirrigated

and traditional/high yielding varieties of crops on the basis of

priority enumeration conducted on the basis of random sample of

20% of villages by a specific date. The estimates are used for

generating advance estimates of production of principal crops.

This component is being implemented in 17 land record States and

also the Union Territories of Delhi and Puducherry.

The objective of ICS is to improve the quality of statistics of area

and production of crops through supervision and monitoring. Under this

component, a sample check of area enumeration and crop cutting

experiments of 10,000 villages and approximately 30,000 experiments

at harvest stage are undertaken. These samples are equally shared by

the Central Agency, i.e. National Sample Survey Organisation; and the

State Agricultural Authorities. These checks specifically relate to (i)

Enumeration of crop-wise area covered in the selected villages as

recorded by the Patwari; (ii) Total of the area under each crop recorded

http://agcensus.nic.in/

49

in Khasra Register of villages; and (iii) Supervision of crop cutting

experiments at the harvest stage. This component is being

implemented in all TRS States and the Union Territory of Pondicherry.

Under EARAS an agency has been established in the

permanently settled States for generating estimates of area and

production of principal crops and land use statistics, on the basis of

complete enumeration of 20% villages in each year.

Price Support Scheme (PSS)

The DAC&FW implements the PSS for procurement of oil seeds and pulses through

National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Ltd. (NAFED) and Small

Farmers’ Agri-Business Consortium (SFAC) which are Central nodal agencies. NAFED is the

central nodal agency for procurement of cotton also under PSS. Central agencies undertake

procurement of oil seeds, pulses and cotton under the PSS as and when prices fall below the

MSP. Procurement under PSS is continued till prices stabilize at or above the MSP. Losses,

if any incurred by central agencies in undertaking PSS operations are reimbursed by the

central government. Profit, if any, earned in undertaking PSS operations is credited to the

central government.

Market Intervention Scheme (MIS)

The Market Intervention Scheme (MIS) is implemented for procurement of horticultural

commodities which are perishable in nature and are not covered under the Price Support

Scheme. The objective of intervention is to protect the growers of these commodities from

making distress sale in the event of a bumper crop during the peak arrival period when the

prices tend to fall below economic levels and cost of production. The condition is that there

should be either at least a 10 percent increase in production or a 10 percent decrease in the

ruling market prices over the previous normal year. The MIS is implemented at the request of

a state / UT government which is ready to bear 50 percent of the loss (25 percent in case of

North-Eastern States), if any, incurred on its implementation. The extent of total amount of

loss to be shared on a 50:50 basis between the central government and the state government

is restricted to 25 percent of the total procurement value which includes cost of the commodity

procured plus permitted overhead expenses. Under the Scheme, in accordance with MIS

guidelines, a pre-determined quantity at the fixed Market Intervention Price (MIP) is procured

by NAFED as the Central agency and the agencies designated by the state government for a

fixed period or till the prices stabilize above the MIP, whichever is earlier. The area of

operation is restricted to the concerned state only.

certifying an agricultural commodity under AGMARK should have

hygienic premises, necessary infrastructure to process and pack the

commodity and have access to a well equipped laboratory for the

estimation of prescribed parameters. The applicant for Certificate of

Authorisation can either set up his own laboratory or have access

rto an approved State Grading Laboratory or Commercial

Laboratory approved by the DMI for grading and marking.

Certificate of Authorisation (CA) is granted to such parties on their

request after they submit the required documents and their capacity

to process and pack the commodity and hygienic conditions in the

premises are ascertained. The approved Chemist of the CA holder

analyses the processed commodity for determining the grade

standards and gets it packed in his presence.

Check samples are drawn from premises of the authorised packers

and market and these are analysed in RALs to keep check on the

certification programme. Action to warn and suspend/cancel the

Certificate of Authorisation is taken, if any, check sample is found

not conforming to prescribed standards.

Use of technology will be made to enable CA holders and approved

laboratories. The present outdated system of issuing replica serial

numbers will be replaced by technology enabled system to minimize

the human interaction between CA holders and officials and to

make available these services on 24 by 7 basis.
