Telangana set to clock one crore tonnes of paddy output this rabi

[Ryzen_renoir]

As the total cropped area increased significantly, Telangana is all set to see a record output of over one crore tonnes of paddy in the rabi season.

 

 

For the 2020-21 agricultural season, the total paddy output would be 2.5 crore tonnes as kharif, too, saw a significant increase in area.

 

 

In the rabi season, the paddy area went up to 52 lakh acres, going up by one-and-half times the normal area of 22 lakh acres. “This could yield about one crore tonnes, taking the total output in the two seasons to 2.5 crore tonnes. At 52 lakh acres, the State tops in paddy area in the season,” B Janardhan Reddy, Secretary (Agriculture), Government of Telangana, told BusinessLine.

The paddy area went up by three times ever since the State was formed in 2014. “From, 35 lakh acres in two seasons in 2014, the paddy area crossed the one-crore acre milestone this year,” he said.

crop regulation

The State, which has experimented with regulated cropping system in the 2020-21 agricultural season, asked the farmers to grow paddy on 50 lakh acres on assured irrigation facilities.

The farmers, however, didn’t pay heed to the diktat on maize. While the Government asked them not to grow maize at all, they went ahead and grew the crop on 4.5 lakh acres against the normal acreage of four lakh acres.

Though it procured the maize output as a ‘one-time gesture’ in the kharif, the Government told the farmers it was not going to buy maize in the rabi.

Uncertainty over procurement

There, however, is uncertainty with regard to procurement for the rabi season. The State had indicated that it might not procure paddy (and maize) this time as a fallout of the introduction of the new Farm Acts.

The State procured all of the kharif output (paddy and maize) from the farmers in their respective villages to help them overcome the logistics issue during the lockdown.

“The Government has indicated that it is not going to open procurement centres this season. They are saying the output is going to create a record but there is no mechanism for farmers to sell their produce,” S Malla Reddy of Telangana Rythu Sangham said.

He said the problem with the rabi rice was that the State had to sell the produce to other States.

“We don’t consume the rice that we produce in the rabi. The kharif output itself is sufficient for us. We export about 10 lakh tonnes of rabi rice to Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Bangladesh. We need to focus on showing marketing channels to farmers to clear the stocks,” he said.

Diversify, says Govt
Though it has decided to do away with the State-mandated cropping system from next year, the Government wants the farmers to factor in the demand for different crops, while going ahead for sowing in the upcoming kharif season.

“They should keep an eye on the demand-supply equation vis-a-vis different crops and grow the crops that are in demand,” Janardhan Reddy.

Instead of focusing on paddy more, they need to look for alternatives such as pulses, vegetables and fruits to make better use of the additional irrigation facilities that the State had created.

To be fair Telangana developed a lot more than many areas of current Andhra Pradesh if we are relatively speaking in last sixty years . But that was concentrated in few peoples hands 

Take Nellore for example we were pretty close to Madras in several parameters 70 years ago , United AP lo emi development ledhu outside of small window

If I remember right Nizamabad and karimnagar used to produce more rice than Godavari districts in 2010 itself

The backwardness was there before Andhra as a state existed . You have to realise that even the backward districts in current AP did not develop and still remain Backward to this day . 

Infact andhra's Backward districts were ignored even more because Telangana districts atleast benefitted from the focus on Hyderabad .

United AP ruling was bad but they were more or less equally bad for most regions .

Money , electricity was costly back in those days . Rural areas used to get 12-15 hr power  only . 

Andhra leaders and their cronies dhochukundhi Nijam but some of things possible today were not feasible in those days .

 24 hours free current kadhu asalu current leni villages hundreds undevi in old days . 

Not everything is a conspiracy or discrimination

Telangana will be fine , Andhra is the state in danger with political leaders who are still based out of Hyderabad .

There is a immediate need to shift all the employees and politicians based out of Hyderabad to Andhra by any means possible .  

No state will prosper with visiting politicians
