13 Sep, 2023 News Image Rich agricultural heritage of our country has flourished due to the efforts of our farmers, who have carefully nurtured and developed numerous plant varieties - Shri Narendra Singh Tomar.
The President of India, Smt Droupadi Murmu inaugurated first 'Global Symposium on Farmers' Rights' (GSFR) today, in a ceremony held at ICAR Convention Centre, National Agricultural Science Centre, New Delhi. President Murmu conferred the ‘Plant Genome Saviour Communities’ Award (6) and ‘Plant Genome Saviour Farmers Reward’ (16) and ‘Plant Genome Saviour Farmers Recognition’ (4) awards to the invited Indian farmers. These awards are instituted by the PPVFR Authority as per the provisions of the PPVFR Act, 2001. She also inaugurated the newly constructed ‘Plant Authority Bhawan’, the office of the PPVFR Authority, and an online plant variety ‘Registration Portal’. Union Minister of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Shri Narendra Singh Tomar, MoS Shri Kailash Chaudhury and Secretary, Shri Manoj Ahuja were also present on the occasion.
 
In her address, Smt Droupadi Murmu congratulated organizers FAO and the Secretariat of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (the Treaty) for appropriately choosing India as the country to host the prestigious meeting, given its rich agricultural, cultural and ethnic diversity. She welcomed the delegates in the land of “Vasudhaiv Kutumabakam” (world is one family), a philosophy deeply ingrained in India’s culture and traditions. She said that farmers have toiled and enterprisingly developed or conserved landraces, wild-relatives and traditional varieties of crops, and provided the building blocks for the modern crop breeding programs, thus ensuring food and nutritional security for human beings and live-stocks alike. She said that holding of GFSR was very appropriate, as farmers are primary food producers (‘annadatta’) and only if there is food then there is body, and if there is body then any work gets done. That is why farmers need to be saluted and it is our duty to protect their rights and future.
 
Union Minister of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Shri Narendra Singh Tomar while welcoming the President of India, expressed his happiness that the GFSR proposed by the GoI during the Ninth Session of Governing Body of the FAO’s International Treaty held in New Delhi (during September 17 to 24, 2022), has been ably organized by the Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare (DA&FW) in collaboration with Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights (PPVFR) Authority and in partnership with Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), and ICAR-National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR). He said that agricultural biodiversity conservation is not just a duty but a vital necessity for the survival of ecosystems. The rich agricultural heritage of our country has flourished due to the efforts of our farmers, who have carefully nurtured and developed numerous plant varieties. He said that these varieties of plants are not only a source of livelihood but also a living testimony of the deep connection between nature and culture.
 
Secretary, DA&FW, Shri Manoj Ahuja informed that India has been the first country in the world to include Farmers’ Rights in the context of Plant Variety Registration through its Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights (PPVFR) Act, 2001. Chairperson, PPVFR Authority, Dr T. Mohapatra delivered the welcome address and apprised about the genesis and expectations of the GFSR.
 
Dr. Himanshu Pathak, Secretary (DARE) & Director General (ICAR), Dr R.S. Paroda, Chairman, Trust for Advancement of Agricultural Sciences (TAAS) and former Secretary, DARE & DG, ICAR, Mr Kent Nnadozie, Secretary, ITPGRFA and Mr Takayuki Hagiwara, FAO Representative in India, were also present on the occasion.
 
India is hosting the GFSR from September 12 to 15, 2023, that is being attended by more than 700 delegates from 59 countries. including the National Focal Points of the International Treaty, farmer bodies from around the world, policy makers, scientists, research scholars, industry representatives, government officers, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, legal experts and civil society. This first of its kind symposium aims to facilitate implementation of Farmers' Rights by Contracting Parties of the Treaty through discussions on innovative approaches, effective policies, best practices, knowledge, and experience sharing in implementing Farmers' Rights. The Global Symposium would also provide a platform to promote recognition of farmers as conservers of agrobiodiversity and guardians of global food security.

13 Sep, 2023 News Image CSMIA reports 318% growth of mango exports.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) reported exports of 4,700 tonnes of mangoes in 2023, a 318 percent increase compared to 1,123 tonnes in 2022.
 
'This exponential growth is a testament to CSMIA’s contribution to expanding the global presence of India's delectable mangoes. Moreover, it highlights the airport's contribution in driving India’s mango exports,' says an official release.
 
The key aspect contributing to the achievement is the recent approval granted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the export of Indian mangoes to the United States, the release added. 'This milestone development opens up the market for Indian mangoes in the USA, marking a significant moment for mango lovers. This approval comes after a hiatus in mango exports to the USA since 2020, primarily due to travel restrictions imposed on the USDA inspectors to visit India during the Covid-19 pandemic.'
 
An official spokesperson says: 'CSMIA stands as a symbol of India’s commitment to delivering the finest produce to the world with the help and guidance from specialists in the field. We are proud to be a part of this growth story and are committed to providing the best possible facilities to support our exporters. This remarkable growth in mango exports reflects our dedication to excellence and our contribution in shaping the global perishable trade landscape.”

13 Sep, 2023 News Image India eyes doubling coffee output over the next 10 years.
The State-run Coffee Board has mooted a proposal to double India’s coffee production over the next 10 years through increasing productivity in the traditional growing states, while bringing in new areas of around 2 lakh ha under cultivation in the non-traditional regions. Coffee has traditionally been grown in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, while the plantation crop has been making inroads in the non-traditional regions of Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and the North East in recent years.
 
Coffee Board Secretary and CEO, K G Jagadeesha said the Board proposes to take a two-pronged approach to double the production by 2033. 'We are looking at a National Replantation Policy for the traditional States, where coffee plants in about 60 per cent of the areas have crossed the economic age. The yields start declining in arabica plants after 40 years and in robusta after 50 years. If we don’t take up replanting in those states where it has crossed the economic age then our yields are bound to go down. We can increase almost 50 per cent of our production by replanting the old and senile plants,' Jagadeesha said.
 
To absorb interest
As part of the proposal, the interest costs on the loans availed by growers to take up replanting in the traditional areas will be absorbed by the government for a period of five years, Jagadeesha said. The Board has sent the proposal to the Commerce Ministry and is awaiting for the government’s approval.
 
Currently, coffee is grown in about 4.72 lakh hectares and the production during 2022-23 stood at 3.60 lakh tonnes. India’s coffee output has more than doubled over the past three decades from around 1.69 lakh tonnes in the early nineties and the Board is targetting doubling the yields over the next decade through improved productivity.
 
Further, Jagadeesha said the proposed area expansion of about two lakh hectares in the non-traditional regions will be carried out by providing subsidies to the growers in collaboration with the respective States. The Centre proposes to share the subsidy burden equally with the States for new area expansion.
 
Odisha’s mission
Jagadeesha said Odisha has already announced a mission to bring about 1 lakh ha under coffee by 2030. In Andhra Pradesh about 80,000 hectares would be brought under coffee, while the cultivation can be expanded to about 25,000 hectares in Tamil Nadu and another 50,000-60,000 hecatres in North East. 'All these areas if we can bring under coffee, we can improve the output,' he said.
 
India, which exports about two thirds of the coffee produced in the country, is hosting the World Coffee Congress (WCC 2023) in Bengaluru from September 25-28 and the event is expected to showcase the Indian coffees to the global buyers.

13 Sep, 2023 News Image Good tidings for Indian rabi crops as Australian met sees rain from positive IOD.
A positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), which helps in good rainfall over the Indian sub-continent and the African coastline, will likely develop during September-December with all models indicating such a development, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology  (BoM) said on Tuesday. 
 
IOD is the difference in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) between two areas or poles. hence a dipole. The prediction should bring relief to India since any rains, particularly under the influence of north-east monsoon, from now onwards, will help rabi season crops such as wheat, pulses and oilseeds.
 
'The IOD index is +1.13 °C for the week ending September 10. This is its fourth week above the positive IOD threshold (+0.40 °C), with the recent high values (above +1.0 °C) indicating an event is very likely. If the IOD index continues to remain above this threshold, a positive IOD event will be considered underway,' BoM said in its latest El Nino update.
 
Influence on El Nino
While the Indian subcontinent and African coastline will stand to benefit with better rains, it will affect rainfall over Indonesia, South-East Asia and Australia. 'A positive IOD typically decreases spring rainfall for central and south-east Australia and can increase the drying influence of El Nino,' the Bureau said.
 
The Australian weather agency said the long-range forecast indicated warmer and drier than average conditions across most of southern and eastern Australia from October to December. 
 
 
'The Bureau’s El Nino Alert continues, with El Nino development likely during spring (September-December). When El Nino Alert criteria have been met in the past, an El Nino event has developed around 70 per cent of the time,' the BoM said.
 
Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the tropical Pacific are exceeding El Nino thresholds and have warmed up over the last fortnight.  Further warming is likely and SSTs may remain above El Nino thresholds until at least early 2024.
 
'The 90-day Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) is currently -7.4, exceeding El Nino thresholds. Other atmospheric indicators have recently shown signs of possible coupling between the Pacific Ocean and the atmosphere,' it said. 
 
Indications near Indonesia
This coupling is characteristic of the El Nino event. This will strengthen and sustain the event for an extended period.  
 
Meanwhile, the Climate Prediction Center (CPC), a unit of the US weather agency National Oceanic  and Atmospheric Administration, in its latest update issued on Monday night, said indication of suppressed convection and precipitation, known as outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) were evident in South-East Asia, the Philippines and Indonesia.
 
In particular, evidence of El Nino emerging was evident near Indonesia, the CPC said, reiterating that all models were indicating El Nino persisting through the northern hemisphere winter during 2023-24.
 
The US weather arm said over the last four weeks equatorial SSTs were above average across most of the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean and across much of the Atlantic Ocean.
 
There were other indicators of El Nino having set in such as upper ocean heat anomalies and declining difference in the temperature on the sea surface and its bottom. 
 
El Nino, caused by a rise in the Pacific Ocean temperature, leads to drought and deficient rainfall in Asia. The weather phenomenon resulted in India witnessing its driest August in over 120 years with monsoon rainfall being 32 per cent deficient. However, the emergence of positive IOD is in line with predictions that rainfall will improve from September onwards in India.
