1 Indian Fertilizer Industry in Service of Farmers A. Roy Marketing Director Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited IFA-FAI National Seminar on Sustainable Fertiliser Management for Soil Health, March 16-17, 2015, New Delhi MAJOR CHALLENGES FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE Shrinking Agri Resources Plateauing agricultural production Access to agro inputs Balanced and integrated nutrient use Increasing multi-nutrient deficiency Declining crop response to nutrients Access to agro technology Role of extension agencies Reaching the Unreached 1
2 Indian Agriculture - Opportunities Follow BMP s for crops as addressed by ICAR institutes / SAU s Major focus confined to Rice, Wheat, Cotton, Sugarcane, explore potential of other crops. Of late the focus is broadening to horticulture (Fruits and Vegetables), medicinal and aromatic crops and other high value crops. Farmers Plight Some Issues Inherited agriculture; Farming practice knowledge transferred through generations Marginalization of land holding due to Family system Farming is a compulsion for sustenance and not a choice Limited literacy prevents access to information; inadequate access to ICT Significant contribution of Women in farming; less communication due to traditional barriers 2
3 Farmers Plight Some Issues Un remunerative agriculture resulting in frustration; younger generation are unwilling to participate Migration from rural to urban areas for livelihood security Facing harsh and uncertain weather conditions Access to essential resources (water, energy, agro inputs, farm implements, credit, storage, transport, agro technology etc.) Extension Agencies International Institutes Govt ICAR Input agencies SAU FARMER NGO KVK Farmers organisati ons ATMA 3
4 Fertiliser Industry is not confined to merely promotion of their products; but it takes holistic approach to address the Farmers concern. Promotional and Extension Activities by Fertilizer Industry FIELD PROGRAMMES CAMPAIGNS PUBLICITY SPECIAL PROJECTS Farmers Meetings Crop seminar, Crop competition Agricultural campaigns - Soil and water analysis, Plant protection, Seed treatment, Bio fertiliser etc. Hoarding, Wall painting, Road side sign boards Fair, Exhibition, Festival, Films, AV Van Soil Rejuvenation, Rainfed farming / Watershed management, Fertigation, IRDP etc. Crop demonstration / trials Field day, Field visit SPPT, Dealers / Farmers Training Social Campaign Veterinary / medical check up/tree Plantation, Sanitation etc Women Empowerment Technical literature/ Folders / Pamphlets ICT - Radio Jingles, Radio and TV Talks, Mobile Telephony Collaborative work with Research Institutes / State Agricultural Universities Village adoption Glimpses of Fertiliser Industry s Initiatives at Farm Level IFFCO s Approach ( Reaching the Unreached ) SN Special Project 1) All India Soil Rejuvenation and Crop Productivity Enhancement Project 2) Fertigation in Cotton and Vegetable Crops ; Barwani district, Madhya Pradesh 3) Seed Production and Marketing in Nagaon district, Assam 4) Vegetable Productivity Enhancement in Nagaon, Assam 5) Sustainable Sugarcane Initiative, Kolhapur, Maharashtra 6) Water Resource Development Projects, Ranchi, Hazaribagh, Deoghar and Dhumka, Jharkhand 7) Water Resource Development Chachond, Agra, Uttar Pradesh 8) Watershed Development Project, Harpura, Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh 9) Integrated Rural Development Project, Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu 4
