13. Overview of Clean Plant Programme
• Clean Plant Programme is proposed Central Sector project where the
NHB will anchor the establishment of Clean Plant Centres in the country
• Aims to ensure access to disease free horticulture planting material for
global competitiveness of Indian horticulture sector
Objectives
• To enhance (i) yield of horticulture crops (ii) dissemination and adoption
of climate resilient varieties
• To protect ecosystem through proactive virus and disease control
measures
• To enhance stakeholder capacities for the adoption and operation of
clean plant production
• To improve knowledge network for sustainable operation of clean plant
centers & nursery certification programs
Total project cost is around Rs. 2100 Cr with 50% funding from ADB
over a period 7 years

16. Contract Farming - Transformation Through Public
Private Partnership - Andhra Pradesh
Case of Banana
• India’s share is 27% in global banana production and share in
exports is <1%
• Ecuador’s share is <5% in global banana production while global
export share is 30%
What happened in Anantapur?
• On the similar line; State Horticulture Department with the
support of Central government encouraged the private
participation in Anantapur with the utilization of the government
schemes and infrastructure.
• Farmers entered in the contract with the companies like Desai
Fruits, INI Farms, Mahindra Agri etc.
• Today, Anantapur banana export jumped from 246 MT in 2016-
17 to 45000 MT in 2019-20 and is further projected to export
75,000 MT by 2021-22.
• Also, 20% increase in productivity has been recorded and
average price of farmers’ produce is increased by 50%.

18. Case Study: Contract Farming (Potato) - Gujarat
• The penetration of fast-food chains such as McDonald's,
Wendy's, Subway, KFC, Burger King and Dominos took as an
opportunity by the Gujarat farmers.
• In 2007, Gujarat had only 16 acres area under the Santana &
Frysona varieties (desired for French fries), today it’s over 6000
acres.
• Gujarat has the processing plants of three companies - McCain
Foods, Iscon Balaji Foods and HyFun Foods about 1000 Cr,
which produce frozen potato products and exports them.
• Despite being the 4th in Potato production with (~7.5%), Gujarat
contributes ~26% of the total export by India.
• India used to import 6,000 metric tonnes of french fries in 2007. In
2019, India exported around 30,000 metric tonnes
• Investments from other big names like Amul has been flowing in
the state, 100 Cr processing plant inaugurated by Hon’ble PM,
‘Banaskantha’ being the recent example. Santana Variety field

19. Expectations from the States
• Action Plans to be aligned with the horticulture priority crops such as
Cashew, Niche and Exotic fruit crops
• Timely submission of Utilization Certificates and Proposals.
• Focus on Post-harvest management infrastructure
• Mapping natural advantage of the states/clusters for development of value
chain-based cluster models.
• Value addition and processing infrastructure in Public Private Partnership
