AVAILABILITY AND REQUIREMENTS OF MAJOR FOOD ITEMS IN NEH REGIONS: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
Journal Title: International Journal of Microbiology Research - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
The present study aims to find out food and nutritional security in North- East region of India by simple tabular method during 2001 to 2011 period. The study found that NE region according to demand deficient in production of food grain, oilseeds, milk, fish and egg but this region was surplus in case of fruits, vegetables and meat production. In NE region food grain production has increased by (28%) during 2001 to 2011 and it was highest in case of Nagaland (60%) followed by Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Assam while Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Nagaland found surplus in food grain production. While in rice production the increased was highest in case of Nagaland followed by Manipur, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh but Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland having surplus in rice production. All the states of NER were found deficient in pulse production and deficiency ranged from 21 to 92 percent in Sikkim and Meghalaya. The oil seed production in NER was increased by 15 percent during 2001 to 2011, where Manipur 26 percent was next to Nagaland 27 percent. Except Nagaland the highest increase of fruits production was documented in order in Mizoram, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh. The vegetable production in NER was increased by 37 percent during 2001 to 2011, recorded highest in Manipur 164% followed by Mizoram 159 percent. In terms of total fish production this region was around 302.99 thousand tonnes which was less than total fish requirement for this region. The milk and eggs production was also deficient in this region which were around 61 percent and 85 percent respectively, whereas this region having surplus in meat production around 46 percent during 2001 to 2011 and at state level highest growth was in Tripura 1071 percent followed by Nagaland 237 percent. The study has suggested that the pulse production can be increased horizontally by utilizing a part of 1.67 Million ha area under Jhum cultivation and mixed cropping with other crops area and production of pulses could be increased vertically and there is need for increasing the cropping intensity through diversification of crops with action oriented mega national programme for the rain fed and hilly eco-systems of the regions with concerted efforts from all line departments.
