HIGHLIGHTHIGHLIGHTSS

Rice production declined by more than 3.00 lakh MT due to increase area under Basmati varieties and incidence of plant hopper during 2008-09

Highest ever cotton productivity i.e. 694 kg. lint per hect. recorded during 2008-09 as compared to 663 kg. lint per hect. during 2007-08

Area of guar increased by 60,000 hect. while production increased by 85,000 MT during 2008-09

Total production of cotton slightly declined due to 28000 hect. less area coverage during 2008-09.

Bajra production also declined by 92,000 MT during 2008-09 owing to damage of crops due to less area coverage & incidence of grass hopper

• Rate of interest on crop loan reduced from 10% to 7 % per annum with effect from 1.4.2006.

• NABARD is the main source of refinance for crop loan.

• Increased refinance rate of NABARD to 4 % during 2009-10 squeezed the margin of coop. Bank

• Need to reduce the NABARD refinance rate to atleast 2.50 % for economic viability of Coop. Banks.
