“Agricultural Statistics at a Glance, Andhra Pradesh 2009—10 ” (Previously called as “An Outline of Agricultural Situation in Andhra Pradesh“) has been prepared on the lines of Agricultural Statistics at a glance being published by Government of India and It is being released every year immediately after the closure of the Agricul- tural year. It gives a broad sketch of the Agricultural Scenario that prevailed in the State. It covers the seasonal conditions, Area, Produc- tivity and Production of Principal Crops, Land Utilisation details and other information relating to Agricultural Statistics.

The present report for 2009-2010 is the 35^th of the series. In this report, additional information pertaining to data on Minor Irrigation Census , year wise Population with the growth rate and Number of cultivators and Agricultural laborers, Live Stock Population , Produc- tion of Milk , Eggs and Wool , Fish production and procurement of Rice in the State has been added apart from the time series data on Rainfall Statistics, Area, Productivity and Production of Principal Crops, Crop calendar giving the pattern of sowings and harvest of different crops, category – wise number and area of operational holdings , No. of crops covered under NAIS , No. of connections, connected load and consumption of power under Agriculture, area under high yielding va- rieties and normal areas, production and productivity for important crops are also incorporated broadening this scope of the report.

I hope that this new version of the report will be found useful to the research scholars, administrators, and others interested in Agricul- tural Statistics.

I appreciated the sincere efforts of the Officers and staff of Ag- ricultural Section in bringing out this publication in record time.

GRICULTURAL STATISTICS

AT A GLANCE

NDHRA PRADESH

2009-2010

The role of Agricultural Sector in State Economy is very significant. The contribution of primary sector including Agriculture, Horticulture and Animal Husbandry to the State Gross Domestic Product for the year 2009-10 is 22.18%. However, 62.17% of the working population is still dependent on Agriculture. Agriculture in Andhra Pradesh is mostly dependent on rainfall. Monsoon and Seasonal Conditions play a major role in the agricultural production. The proportion of area under agriculture is 45.7%. The Gross Irrigated Area is 45.9 % of Gross Area Sown in the State.

1. AREA AND SEASONAL CONDITIONS:

1.1 The seasonal conditions during the year 2009-10 on the whole were satisfactory. During the South-West Monsoon period, the State received deficit rainfall of 27% against normal. However, North-East Rainfall was deficient by 17%. As compared to normal rainfall, the overall rainfall for the year was 19% deficient which comes under normal category (-19% to +19%). During the year 2009-10 an average rainfall of 760 mm was recorded as against the normal rainfall of 940 mm and thereby showing the deficient of -19%.

1.4 The Oilseeds production during 2009-10 was 24.18 Lakh Tonnes as against 20.57 Lakh Tonnes during 2008-09 registering a increase of 19.2% which is happened due to increase of productivity of the Ground- nut during Kharif and Rabi Seasons. The Groundnut Area Sown in Anantapur District contributes 40.7% of the area in the State.

4.1 CROPPING INTENSITY:

Cropping intensity is one of the indices for assessing the efficiency of agriculture sector. The cropping intensity i.e. the ratio of gross area sown to net area sown is 1.26 in 2009-2010 and it was 1.26 during 2008 -2009. The level of cropping intensity moves in consonance with the behaviour of the monsoon and availability of irrigation water.

5. IRRIGATION :

The gross area irrigated by all sources during the year 2009-2010 is 57.65 lakh hectares. This accounted for 45.89 % of the gross cropped area as against 48.7 % during 2008-2009. Source-wise gross area irrigated for the years 2009-2010 and 2008-2009 is given in Table-3.

% by Groundnut, 4.2 % by Cotton, 6.0 % by Maize and 2.9 % by Chillies respectively. The remaining irrigated area was covered by other crops.

The particulars of Crop-wise Area Irrigated by different sources in respect of some important crops are presented in Annexure-VII.

5.4. IRRIGATION INTENSITY:

The Irrigation intensity i.e. the ratio of Gross Irrigated Area to Net Irrigated Area is 1.37 in 2009-2010, where as it was 1.39 in 2008-2009.

This decrease of 10.4 % was attributed to decrease in area under Cereals and Millets during 2009-2010. The decrease in area under crops is due to receipt of insufficient Rainfall received in the South- West Monsoon period. The Area and Production of food grains in the State for the last five years are shown in table-4(a).

6.1.6 KHARIF FOODGRAINS PRODUCTION:

The Kharif food grains production is estimated at 74.74 lakh tonnes in 2009-2010 as against from 105.62 lakh tonnes in 2008-2009, registering a decline of 29.2 % due to decline in productivity of Rice, Jowar, Maize, Redgram, Blackgram and Greengram crops.

6.1.7 RABI FOODGRAIN PRODUCTION:

The production of foodgrains during Rabi 2009-2010 is fall down to 81.25 lakh tonnes from 98.59 lakh tonnes in 2008-2009, showing the decrease of 17.6 % when compared to previous year.

The decrease of production in food grains is caused due to decline in productivity of Rice, wheat, Jowar, Bajra, Maize, Ben- galgram, Redgram, Blackgram, Greengram and Cowgram crops.

6.2.6 FRUITS AND VEGETABLES:

The contribution from Horticulture sector to State Gross Domes- tic Product is substantially increased. The commercial value and consumption of Fruits and Vegetable are also increasing from year to year.

Inorder to estimate the yield and production of certain important Fruits and Vegetables, Yield estimation surveys on 12 fruits and vegetable crops are being conducted every year. The crops covered under yield estimates are i) Mango ii) Coconut iii) Cashewnut iv) Lemon v) Batavia vi) Banana vii) Guava viii) Tomato ix) Onion x) Bendi xi)Brinjal and xii) Turmeric. The area, production and productivity of these crops at the State level from 2005-2006 to 2009-2010 are presented in Table-14.

6.2.7 OIL SEEDS :

Andhra Pradesh is one of the important states in the country to grow oil seed crops like Groundnut, Sunflower and Castor extensively.

The area under oil seeds during 2009-2010 was 21.19 lakh hectares which constituted 16.9 % of the total cropped area in the state.

The area under Groundnut alone accounted for 61.4 % of the total area under oil seeds during 2009-2010. Out of 24.18 lakh tonnes of production of oil seeds, Groundnut, Sunflower and Castor accounted for production of 55.4 % of the total oil seed production in the state. The area, production and productivity for the last five years are given in the Table -15.
