According to a distributor of seeds and fertilizers, to double the agriculture productivity, there should be arrangement of irrigation and with the use of bio fertilizers and pesticides the production capacity would increase. Cow dung should be used. With good quality seeds production would increase. There should be use of hybrid seeds. Soil testing should be done and after soil testing, as per the needs of the soil, bio fertilizers should be added. Irrigation and the best quality of hybrid seeds are very essential. There should be crop variation and then again there should be soil
testing to see that the pesticide or fertilizer that had been added and
that those have been reduced or have increased. There should be
scientific production. The unused land should be made fertile.
The government should check on the quality of the seeds provided by the companies before it comes to the shop of the shopkeepers and it is very much necessary. Because for example if it is written on the bag of seeds, 46% nitrogen, how will the shopkeeper know whether there is really 46% nitrogen or it is less than 46% nitrogen. Factory premise check on the pesticides should be there by the government body and also on whatever is written on the bottle. The Government should impose long penalty if found otherwise.
If there is good quality seeds then there will be good growth of plants. Government university provides breeder seeds. After providing the breeder seeds, the government should under their supervision see that the breeder seeds are used in the land of the manufacturers/companies and under their supervision, should keep checking the growth of the plants and during harvesting time should see that if the growth of the plants that is shown in the packing is more in ratio than the seeds supplied to them then the packing is not correct that is then it is wrong packing. From providing breeder seeds to the time of truthful labeling, there should be government control because if the company has got the breeder seeds from the government and then if the company mixes unwanted or sub-standard seeds then the growth would be more in ratio than the breeder seeds are provided.
Awareness among the public and farmers about all these is needed and the shopkeepers should also be made literate about the products coming to the shops.
When the seeds are sown depending on their climate/according to the season then there is good production but if the seeds are not sown timely then the production will be affected.
The expiry dates of the seeds is given for 9 months and that needs to be prolonged by the government like for 1- 1&1/2 years after the testing because sometimes the distributors are not able to sell the products during this period.
The supply chain is from the company to the distributor, distributor to retailer and retailer to the farmer. The pricing control should be there by the government for the distributor. The Government should increase the margin of the distributor. There is no equality in price. Because a farmer takes a lesser amount for the work he does for the company and the company sells it for a much much higher price. So in Government supervision a farmer should keep in paper the record of the cost of data, how much margin he is taking so that the profit after the manufacturing cost can be decided by the Government for the company. Government should bring margin equality. There is a separate margin from company to distributor and a separate margin from retailer to farmer.
According to another distributor, company repacking should not be there. The reprint of expiry date should not be there.
According to another distributor of seeds and bio fertilizers, the seeds are provided by the company and the seeds are sold to the farmers. Pests can also destroy the plants. Irrigation is main then only the farmers can feel relief because then the crops will be grown and there will be sale.
All these may help to double the agriculture productivity and may help in achieving UN SDGs.
