rainfed crops resulting in substantial yield losses.
Acute scarcity of seed for repeat sowing with
early dry spell after sowing
The DoA supplies subsidised seed only to a
limited extent.
Unavailability of seed late in the season for
contingency crops
The current system involves centralised
procurement, processing and distribution
which increases transaction costs.
Unavailability of seeds of various traditional
intercrops
Adequate strategies are not identified to
promote millet production. All programs
operate in an adhocmanner .
The traditional / local farmer saved seed material DoA do not have practice of working with

No seed production is taking place within the
Mandal, other than for cotton seed production
Non availability of traditional seeds of Millets
Non availability of green manure seed
Key Thematic areas
Key Issues Identified
Small holders vegetables
There is great scope to improve the
cultivation and floriculture production technology of vegetables and
flower cultivation to make it more
efficient in water resource use.
Vegetable and flower cultivation is
happening at a very limited scale.
Lack of usage of bio pesticide to control
pests and diseases.
Key Gaps in the System
Department of Horticulture is lacking
adequate human resources
Farmers do not have linkages with CBOs /
NGOs
Both technology and information is not
disseminating to ultimate stakeholder and
farmers do not have access to govt
programs, technology and markets.
Lack of the support systems for seeds,
The are no platforms for the vegetable
nursery, machinery on custom hiring,
growers to integrate and they lack sound
supply of NPM concoctions, etc within the market knowledge.

Lack of adequate draft power in rainfed Banks are not giving loans for purchase of
situations results in productivity loss to an bullocks; Banks are encouraging tractors
extent of 20 to 30 per cent- as sowings are
done late in the season.
It has become difficult for farmers to buy
bullocks once the existing ones are sold
away for any contingency; bullock prices
are increasing substantially.
Failed in addressing the root causes for
selling away the bullocks
There is general scarcity for draft power Mechanisms to minimise the lean period
(bullocks or tractors) – for transport of for fodder
manure, peaking of demand for land
preparation, sowings etc., and tractors
could not fill in this gap.
Bank loans to bullocks are de facto
banned, nor were successful as there is
no demand for the entire year and owing
to seasonal fodder scarcity and high cost
of maintenance.

What did we not do
well and why
Key Learning
Credit and marketing
Aggregation
Project management
Designing management Unable to implement. It is important to set up
systems (Some extent) May be due to
management system to
comprehensiveness monitor the work
of the pilot and lack
of focus
Communication /
reaching information
to majority of the
farmers
Developing business Need professional inputs
plans
in preparing business
plans; it became an
important requirement to
mobilise the credit /
investments
Unable to reach out
Need to find out different
methods of
communication to reach
the farmers
Institutional arrangements & support
systems
• At field CBOs are there
• RRA team placed in mandal (8) –experienced
team members (2) in this type of work
• Thematic anchors from WASSAN • Received inputs from few thematic nodes &
secretariat in ideas and proposal generation
• Cross learning among CPs - need to find out ways
• Technical collaborations with CRIDA RARS
• Interface with bureaucrats and research institutes
– RRA network is gaining popularity
Way forward
• It is important to change the human resource
deployment / increase human resource –
definitely will have financial implication
• Linking the Coops with financial Institute for
credit
• Inputs are needed from IDF on financial
inclusion
