Assam, situated in the North-East region of India
is bordering seven States viz. Arunachal Pradesh,
Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura
and West Bengal and two countri es vi z.
Bangladesh and Bhutan. With a geographical
area of 78,438 sq. kms. i.e, about 2.4 percent of
the country's total geographical area, Assam
provides shelter to 2.57 percent population of the
Country. Most of the State's population lives in the
lush and verdant valleys of its two major river
systems in the twenty four districts of the
Brahmaputra valley and the three districts of the
Barak valley. The less densely populated two hill
districts - Karbi-Anglong and Dima Hasao,
separate the two valleys.
The economy of Assam conti nues to be
predominantly agrarian. The Agriculture sector in
the State provides employment to more than 50
percent of the rural people. The net cultivated
area is 28.11 lakh hectare which is about 88
percent of the total land available for agricultural
cultivation in the State. The contribution of
Agriculture sector to the State Domestic Product
was nearly 25 percent during 2010-11. The area
covered under Paddy cultivation was 25.71 lakh
hectares and more than 91 percent of the total
area under foodgrains in the State during the year
2010-11. In view of growing demand and to attain
self sufficiency in food production, the State
Agriculture Department has set the target to cover
27.10 lakh hectare of area under Rice so as to
increase the production of Rice more than 54 lakh
MT duringthe year 2011-12.
Horticultural crop in the State occupy about 15
percent gross cultivated area and annually
produces more than 15.0 lakh MT of fruites, 44.0
Why ASSAM
lakh MT of vegetables and 2.0 lakh MT of spices
besides nut crops, flowers and medicinal &
aromatic plants thus contributing significantly
towards food and nutritional security of the State.
Under Horticulture, 16.45 lakh MT fruits, 44.70
lakh MT vegetables and 2.47 lakh MT of spices
were produced duringthe year 2010-11.
The Government of Assam has adopted
Agricultural Policy in the year 2004. Special
emphasis on assured irrigation and farm
mechanisation, diversification of agriculture,
marketing facilities for agriculture produces,
Agricultural credit, Crop insurance etc. has been
given priority in the Policy with the basic aim to
raise the agricultural growth upto 4.12 percent
during the year 2011-12 as well as to attain the
average growth to the tune of 2 percent annually
at the end of 11thFive Year Plan.
The Agriculture Department is implementing
several flagship projects/programmes in the
context of improvement of agricultural production
in the state to meet the growing food demand of
growingpopulation. Some of the flagship projects
are AACP, RKVY, NFSM(Rice), NFSM(Pulse), A3P,
HMNEH(MM-II & MM-III)
The state produces surplus quantity of fruits
& vegetables to the tune of 26 lakh MT.
Due to lack of adequate marketing &
processing facility about 20% of
the produce is lost. In such a
scenario, processed food is
a great boon for value
addition & better
commercia
l gain.
