Indian, African social enterprises need to share more new services, products

NEW DELHI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Indian and African social enterprises are not fulfilling their potential and should do more to share new products and services to help improve the lives of the poor, the head of a multi-million dollar social venture capital fund in India said.

India has the largest number of social enterprises in the world, many of which are finding new ways to solve development problems in sectors such as agriculture, health, education, water and sanitation and housing.

Experts say the historical and cultural links between many African nations and India mean there is great scope for social businesses on opposite sides of the Arabian Sea to join forces to tackle similar social problems.

"The exciting thing about both India and Africa is the number of young people who want to be social entrepreneurs,” said Sachin Rudra, India director of Acumen, a major impact investor in Africa and India.

"Fusarium wilt" threat to India's banana farming

Global food monitoring body the Foodand AgricultureOrganization of the United Nations (FAO) has warned India about a destructive banana disease - Fusarium wilt - which recently spread from Asia to Africa and the Middle East. The disease has the potential to affect Latin American countries as well.Although there is no fear of transmitting its virus into humans, disease may destroy banana output in India which has already hit a five year low in 2012-13. Banana is a common fruit, rich in nutrients and easily accessible to almost every individual of India.Popularly known as tropical race 4 (TR4) or Panama disease, the disease is posing a serious threat to production and export of the popular fruit, with serious repercussions for the banana value chain and livelihoods, FAO said.In plants affected by  the disease, the leaves grow pale resulting into crop damage which also affects crop germination.Banana is the eighth most important food crop in the world and the fourth most important food crop among the world's least-developed countries.

India to expand irrigation to cut reliance on monsoon

The extra irrigated area would cut India's dependence on annual monsoon rains that water crops grown on nearly half of the country's farmlands. Rice, cane, corn, cotton and soybean are the main monsoon crops.Crop yields on irrigated farms are usually 2-2.5 times those in rain-fed areas. Better yields would boost exports after India shipped large quantities of rice and wheat in recent years."We have around 97 million hectares under irrigation and it's slated to go up by 10 percent by 2017. Eventually, the potential is to take this forward by almost half to 149 million hectares," A.B. Pandya, chairman of the state-run Central Water Commission, said in an interview on Monday.Higher output and productivity will also raise rural income, stoking demand for an array for consumer goods ranging from lipsticks to refrigerators.Although agriculture's share in India's nearly $2 trillion dollar economy has steadily fallen to 14 percent, the sector continues to employ more than half of its 1.2 billion people.If India manages to realise its irrigation potential, almost three-quarters of its 199 million hectares of arable land would be irrigated, leaving just a quarter dependent on monsoon rains.

Annual growth rate in agriculture plateaus

PANAJI: The state's annual growth rate in agriculture has remained static at 4.9% since 2005-06, as lack of labour and its high costs combined with a few other factors continue to affect growth in this sector.As per data of the planning commission derived from census 2011, Goa appears to be on par with even bigger states like Tamil Nadu, which has an annual growth rate of 4.0% but higher than West Bengal with an abysmal rate of 2%.Among the smaller states, Mizoram enjoys a higher 10.9% annual growth, Arunachal Pradesh 7.8% while Tripura with 4.0%, Sikkim 4.6% and Nagaland 3.6% are on par with Goa. Meghalaya has the lowest among smaller states of 2.6%.Kerala and Punjab have the lowest 1.6% and 1.5% growth rate respectively while the country's average growth rate is 3.8%. Agriculture experts attribute high labour inputs, non-availability of workers and a few other factors for the slowing down of agricultural activity. "Family members are not ready to go out in the fields and whatever labour is available cannot be sourced in time or proves costly to farmers," P Tufani, director of agriculture said.
