Bihar sees Maize revolution with use of hybrid seeds

Maize is the only agricultural crop in Bihar whose productivity is higher than the national average. Bihar produces 4.11 tonne of maize from a hectare compared to the national average of about 2.5 tonne. The state has witnessed a maize revolution over past few years with the help of hybrid seeds.

In the four years ending 2012/13, Bihar's maize production rose 66 per cent to 2.83 million tonne, productivity (output from each hectare) increased 51 per cent to 4.11 tones while the area under the crop rose ten per cent to 0.68 million hectares. Hybrid seed production and field demonstrations for farmers has triggered a maize revolution in the state.

With state productivity much higher than national productivity, area under cultivation is expected to rise as the availability of good quality maize offers significant opportunities for entrepreneurs in the state. However, the level of processing in the state is presently quite insignificant. There is thus a large opportunity for maize processing units which can be set up for making a range of products. Agribusiness giant Cargill's Indian arm procures 2,00,000 to 3,00,000 tonne of maize annually from Bihar, says B K Anand, the Director and Business Head (Grains and Oilseeds Crush) for Cargill India. The Indian unit of Cargill handles a million tonnes of the grain annually.

According to the Directorate of Maize Research, a body under the Agriculture Ministry, the quality of the maize produce has improved steadily over the last few years. "Increased participation of national players and a few multinationals has led to a structural change in the maize ecosystem in Bihar," it said in a report in 2012.

Relief for Western India tea dealers as rain lashes plantations

KOLKATA: Western India tea dealers, who were concerned over the supply of tea from Assam and Bengal only a few days back, have heaved a sigh of relief as rains have lashed two major tea producing regions of the country — Assam and Bengal after a long dry spell that has affected the first flush production. 

The western India retail trade which was anticipating that a rise was imminent , has now decided to remain on a wait and watch mode till July when they will consider whether to jack up prices. 

Western India is one of the largest domestic markets for Indian tea. Western India tea consumption has crossed the national average of 733 gram/capita and is hovering around 900 gram/capita . The tea industry is aiming to achieve a 1kg/ capita consumption in western India where companies like Wagh Bakri, Society, Dhunseri Tea and Girnar are major players.
