State-wise Rice Productivity Analysis

 

State : Andman & Nicobar Islands  

Rice is cultivated in 2 districts of Andman & Nicobar Islands. One district falls under high productivity group and another one district falls under medium-low productivity group. Triennium average area of high productivity group (yield more than 2,500 kg/ha) in one district was 0.11 lakh hectares, which was 98.2% of triennium average area (0.112 lakh hectares) under rice in the Islands. Triennium average production was 0.298 lakh tonnes, which was 98.7% of triennium average production (0.302 lakh tonnes) of rice in the Islands. Triennium average productivity of high productivity group in one district was 2,709 kg/ha as against 2,696 kg/ha triennium average productivity of the Islands.

Triennium average area of medium-low productivity group (yield 1,500-2,000 kg/ha) in one district was 0.002 lakh hectares, which was 1.8% of triennium average area (0.112 lakh hectares) under rice in the Islands. Triennium average production was 0.004 lakh tonnes, which was 1.3% of triennium average production (0.302 lakh tonnes) of rice in the Islands. Triennium average productivity of medium-low productivity group in one district was 2,000 kg/ha as against 2,696 kg/ha triennium average productivity of the Islands.

Area under rice in Andman & Nicobar Islands is very meagre but average productivity of the Islands is in the order of high productivity group. In fact, average productivity of the Islands is more than 2,500 kg/ha.
