4. Uttar Pradesh: Introduction
Total area 243.28 km squire
Cultivable
area
196.99 km squire
Total
population
20.42 crores
Population
engaged in
agriculture
13.27 crores

5. On the basis of soil type and rainfall UP is
divided in 9 agro-climatic zone_

6. Report of Economic Survey (2017-18)
Name of state Average income of
farmers (in Rs.)
National 77,976
Punjab 159,732
Kerala 132,096
Haryana 127,644
Uttar Pradesh 59,076

7. Factors lowering farmers’ income in
Uttar Pradesh
 Most of the Crops yield is less than the national average.
 Productivity of most of the crops is less than the national aver.
 Form holding 80% marginal and small.
 Less responsive to technological innovations.
 Irrigation facility- 40%
 Rain fed area-60%
 Water utilization efficiency 30 to 40%.
 Post harvest losses 10-15% in grains and 30-35 in fruits and
vegetables.

8. Some other reasons-
 Lack of village level micro processing enterprises / rural
agripreneurs.
 Uncertain marketing system.
 Crop damage by diseases, insects, and animals.
 On farm security problems related to costly farm instruments like drip
and sprinkler irrigation components.
 Low quality of manure and plant protection chemicals.
 Negligible effort on organic farming and organic plant protection
control.
 Unavailability of zero energy cool chambers, cool rooms for temporary
storage of semi perishable produce.

10. Integrated Plane of Doubling the
farmers’ income

11. HORTICULTURE

12. Potential of Horticulture
 Share of Horticulture in total agriculture
land- 8.5%
 Share of Horticulture in agriculture GDP-
30.5%
 Increasing 1% area under Horticulture-
increases 5% in the farmers income.

17. Advantages of cultivating vegetable-
 Most of the vegetable crops are short duration
crops so more crops can be taken.
 Helpful in increasing cropping intensity.
 With vegetable crops better crop rotation can be
followed.
 Leguminous vegetable helpful in maintaining the
fertility of soil.
