Andhra Pradesh Fast Running Out Of Green Fields


Recommended Posts

VIJAYAWADA: Gradual decline in the overall cropped area casts a shadow over the state government's ambitious target of achieving double digit growth. Although Andhra Pradesh registered 12.52 per cent in the first quarter of 2015-16, it is quite unlikely that the target will become a reality in the long run, say experts and peasant leaders. Lending credence to such worries, agriculture and allied sectors (Rs 9,854 crore) contributed more to the gross state domestic product (GSD) during Q1 than the other sectors. 

 

In Visakhapatnam alone, one of the five sample districts chosen for the study, more than 20,000 acres of land was taken over for SEZs, which includes creation of a petroleum and petrochemical investment region (PCPIR) proposed in 604 sq km involving 1.49 lakh acres of fertile agricultural lands, said the study. 

 

 

The nine coastal districts produce 69 lakh tonne of food grains from 20.86 lakh hectares annually while the remaining four districts in Rayalaseema region about 8.5 lakh tonne from 2.6 lakh hectares, according to official data. Prasad estimated the drop in food grains production to be around 15-20 per cent. 

 

 

Even as vegetables and horticulture crops take a lion's share in crop diversification, the capital city gobbled up more than 120 varieties of vegetable and horticulture crops in 13 villages under the capital region. Kesava Rao said another 20,000 acres out of 30,000 acres notified for the Machilipatnam port would go out of paddy cultivation.
