National Seed Plan

NATIONAL SEED PLAN Indian Agriculture has made enormous progress in the last 50 years. Food grains production has risen from 50 million tons in 1947 to 212 million tons in 2003-04. The country has advanced from a situation of food scarcity and imports to that of food security and exportable surpluses. The Green Revolution of India has been universally acclaimed as a successful enterprise of the farmers, the Scientists and the Government. The land mark achievements in agriculture in the 60s and 70s were the result of a combination of inputs like introduction of high yielding varieties, increased fertilizer use, expansion of irrigation facilities, massive extension efforts, improved farm practices and, above all, ingenuity and industry of the Indian farmers. However, the growth of agriculture sector has not kept pace with the growth of the population and has stagnated. The unsatisfactory growth of agriculture, apart from serious implications for food security of the country, has been adversely impacting the growth rate of country’s economy. The imperative of National food security, nutritional security and economic development demand a very focused and determined approach to raise productivity and production in agriculture. In view of the fact, that the area under cultivation is unlikely to increase significantly, thrust will have to be on raising productivity per unit of cultivated land. Seed is the critical determinant of agricultural production on which depends the performance and efficacy of other inputs. Quality seeds appropriate to different agro-climatic conditions and in sufficient quantity at affordable prices are required to raise productivity. Availability and use of quality seeds is not a one time affair. Sustained increase in agriculture production and productivity necessarily requires continuous development of new and improved varieties of crops and efficient system of production and supply of seeds to farmers. The National Seeds Policy 2002, clearly emphasizes that “ It has become evident that in order to achieve the food production targets of the future, a major effort will be required to enhance the seed replacement rates of various crops. This would require a major increase in the production of quality seeds……..” According to the National seeds Policy 2002, the thrust areas have to be i) Varietal Development. ii) Seed Production. iii) Seed Replacement Rate Enhancement. iv) Primary responsibility for production of breeder seed to be that of the ICAR/State Agriculture Universities. v) An effective seed production programme. vi) Popularisation of new varieties. vii) Availability of newly developed varieties to farmers with minimum time gap. viii) Provision of incentives to domestic seed industry to enable it to produce seeds of high yielding varieties and hybrid seeds at a faster pace to meet the challenges of domestic requirements. The Planning Commission in its Mid-Term Appraisal of the 10 th Five Year Plan (2002-07) has concluded as follows with regard to seeds: “Despite a huge institutional framework for seed production both in the public and private sector, availability of good quality seeds continues to be a problem for the farmers. As a result, they prefer to rely on farm saved seeds; seed replacement rate continues to remain in the range of 2-10 per cent in certain states for certain crops, which is much below the desired level of 20 per cent for most crops., As is well known, seed replacement rate has a strong positive correlation with the productivity and production of crops. There is a need to rejuvenate the seeds sector through revamping the public sector seed companies, including the State Seed Corporations”. As has been stated above, there is a strong co-relationship between the quality of seed, the seed replacement rate and the yields. The yields of major crops grown in the different states are given in Statement 1.

It will be seen from this statement that the yields gaps between the states and between India and rest of the world are very large. One of the major reasons for low yields is disappointingly low rate of seed replacement. The seed replacement rates in respect of various crops in different states are given in Statement 2.

Alongwith production and distribution of quality seeds, concerted action is required to address Region Specific Constraints in agricultural production. The Region Specific Constraints are in Statement 7. Statement 7 (Region Specific Constraints) Agro-Climatic Region States/Parts of States Region Specific Constraints Western Himalayan Region J&K, H.P., Uttranchal Severe soil erosion, degradation due to heavy rainfall/floods and deforestation Eastern Himalayan Region Assam, N.E. States, Sikkim Alu, toxicity and soil acidity, soil erosion and floods, shifting cultivation Lower and Mild Gangetic Plains West Bengal, Bihar, Eastern U.P. Flood/water lodging, poor drainage, salinity/alkalinity, Arsenic contamination Upper and Trans Gangetic Plains Western U.P., Punjab, Haryana Ground water, depletion, decreasing soil, carbon content, micronutrient deficiency Eastern Plateau & Hills Orissa, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh Moisture stress, drought and soil acidity, iron toxicity Central, Western and Southern Plateau and Hills Bundelkhand (in U.P. & M.P.), parts of Rajasthan, Maharashtra, A.P.

The State Governments need to make efforts to address Region Specific Constraints and bring about convergence between their schemes and those of the Government of India for this purpose. Improvement of Seed Replacement Rate, production and distribution of quality seeds appropriate to agro-climatic zone at affordable prices along with a determined effort to address general and region specific constraints will make a significant difference to our agricultural production as is shown in Statements 8, 9 & 10.

This is clearly and emphatically envisaged in the National Seeds Policy 2002. Although public sector seed development, production and distribution system is dominant in high volume and low value crops, the private sector is playing a leading role in high value and low volume crops like vegetables, flowers, horticultural crops, hybrids of some cereals and cash crops and genetically modified crops. The seed industry is developing quite rapidly and its presence is expanding. There is, therefore, need for synergy between and the public and the private sectors. The private is required to be involved in the overall national objective of providing quality seeds including those of high volume low value crops to the farmers at affordable prices. The involvement of the private sector can be facilitated in the following manner: i) Arrangements between Seeds Corporations and Seed Industry for the benefit of the farmers. Modalities and exact nature of cooperation will have to be worked out by the Seeds Corporations with the support of the State Governments. ii) Trilateral Agreements between Seed Industry, State Agriculture Universities and States Seeds Corporations for development, production and distribution of seeds of new varieties. iii) Incentives to private sectors for production of low value high volume seeds including provision of incentives for bankable schemes. According to the Seed Plan ---- quintals of quality seeds will have to be produced and made available to the farmers from the next kharif season by the Government/public sectors/private sectors. The State-wise/agency-wise targets and time-frame for seed production and supply are given at statement 11.
