INTRODUCTION

The economy of Sikkim is linked with agriculture that serves as

the source of livelihood and economic security of sizeable native

population. The growth, however, has been restricted because of biotic

and abiotic factors. It is estimated that over 80 per cent of the

rural population depends on agriculture and allied sectors for

economic, food, and nutritional security. The agricultural systems

practiced in Sikkim are integrated in natures that have evolved

through years of experimentation by the farmers. A marginal

improvement in the lifestyle of the farmers has been witnessed with

the adoption of modern technologies.

Sikkim State has some inherent strength that largely supports

organic farming. The policies and programmes on organic farming, in

tune with our natural endowments envisage making Sikkim a Model

Organic State. The march towards organic farming has led to

substantial departmental interventions. A large number of initiatives

have been taken by the Agriculture and Horticulture departments.

Major crops grown in the State are Maize, Paddy, Wheat, Millet,

Buckwheat, Pulses and Oilseeds. The state is totally a hilly state and

the agro climatic condition ranges from Sub-tropical to Alpine

condition in upper ridges. No single crop or a variety of crop suits

to all the elevations. Even though agriculture is crucial to the

economy of the state it is largely rain-fed with traditional system of

cultivation and low level inputs. Although rainfall in the state is

quite high but due to inadequate effort in harnessing the available

resource the area under the irrigation is hardly about 11%.

The productivity in Sikkim is lower than both the regional and

national averages for all the major field crops. Increasing per unit

productivity will be the key in bridging this gap which can be

achieved with area expansion under high yielding varieties along with

proper package of practices that will exploit the inherent production

potential of varieties designed for organic farming from the local

gene pool; soil-test values based nutrient management and appropriate

3 | P a g e

plant protection measures. Besides, emphasizing on the conservation of

natural resources it is very important to protect the fragile ecology,

and in addition increase the productivity of different crops for

attaining self-sufficiency in cereal, pulses and oilseed production

and this is possible only with the concerted efforts on the part of

all the stakeholders.

Introduction of new crops including wheat, rajmash, rape and

mustard , buckwheat popcorn sweet corn and baby corn; extension of

more areas under high yielding and improved varieties and expansion of

area under double or multiple cropping have been the landmarks in

converting agriculture into a viable venture from a mere subsistence

farming. The availability of basic infrastructure has aided in

enhancing the production and productivity of crops in the State.

Sikkim has a unique agro-climatic character for which the

department makes all attempts to bring about sustainable agricultural

methods to be utilized to its fullest advantage. The department hence,

has a policy to implement different CSS programme like NFSM, ATMA,

RVKY etc., which has brought about effective advancements in the

agricultural sector bringing about an immense impact to the rural

farmers of the State.

The scheme for Establishment of Agency for Reporting

Agricultural Statistics in Sikkim envisages complete enumeration in

178 GPUs. It is intended to cover all principle crops grown in

different seasons in the year with a view to obtain reliable estimate

of area, yield rate and production of principle crop by complete

enumeration of 20 % village in all GPU.

The survey under this scheme envisages dividing the total number

of village in the State into independent non over lapping samples. The

sample of 20 % village would be cover in each year in all seasons in

the year. All sample villages would be covered under complete

enumeration. This will provide the bases for studying the change in

the land utilize pattern of the state in a period of five years.

varieties of Rice namely Pandhan-12, Pandhan-16, Pandhan-18 and CAUR-1

through which seed certified seed production can be done.

Under maize a total of 39,930 ha of land is available which is mainly

covered by a local, HYV composite, Hybrid and High value maize crops.

The HYV covers only 3728 ha of land under total coverage of maize

which is only 5.6% which shows tremendious exercise has to be done by

the department to increase the SRR in near future.

Due to acute shortage of moisture in the soil at the time of

wheat cultivation,the prospect of wheat in Sikkim is not very

encouraging therefore much area under wheat have been taken by the

Buckwheat cultivation as substitute.

Traditional Crops

The Department of Food Security and Agriculture Development,

Govt. of Sikkim has been able to conserve, Preserve and popularize

some of the traditional crops namely Buckwheat var-Meethey, Urd var-

Paheli Dal, Barley Var- Local and Ricebean Var- massayam which were on

the verge of extinction and now with constant effort the department

has been able to cover 547.10 hectares under traditional crops and

find some scope for development of these promising traditional crops

in the State. These crops are climate resilient and are well suited in

this region. With systematic planning these crops can fetch good price

to the farmers in organic condition.

SIKKIM ORGANIC MISSSION

39 | P a g e

INTRODUCTION:

The Hon’ble Chief Minister of Sikkim Shri. Pawan Chamling made a historic

declaration in 2003, in the State Legislative Assembly to transform Sikkim in to a Totally Organic State. This was the first key policy endeavour towards organic state. Sikkim has the pride of becoming the first State of India to declare and adopt Organic Farming for healthy living and sustainable agriculture maintaining the ecology and environment for healthy and wealthy future of the Sikkimese people. The second key policy decision is the resolution No 4 of 2009, adopted in the State Legislative Assembly. “With the objective of having an environmentally clean State for better life and healthy living, members of the Sikkim Legislative Assembly unanimously resolved that State of Sikkim would be made an organic State which will be achieved within the targeted period as per Human Resource Development Plan.” With the objective of converting the entire State into Fully Organic within a stipulated period, Sikkim Organic Mission was launched in 15th August, 2010 and notified vide a notification no. 21 /Home/2010, dated 26.10.2010 to implement the programs of Organic Farming and certification in a Mission mode under a Single Window System.

Objectives of Sikkim Organic Mission 1. To promote Sikkim as an Organic State.

2. To brand organic product of the state as “Sikkim Organic”

3. To outline measures to discourage use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in Sikkim

and gradually substitute plant nutrients by organic manures and fertilizers as well as

manage control of diseases and insect pests by biological control measures.

4. To develop the basic infrastructure and statutory development, pre-requisite to

initiation of actual organic farming in Sikkim.

5. To create or develop market linkage for organic produce along with the evolvement of

suitable strategies.

6. To formulate a policy of organic farming in Sikkim.

Benefits of organic farming 1. Makes agriculture more rewarding, sustainable and respectable. 2. Sustains soil fertility by preventing the loss of soil and leaching of minerals. 3. Protects and enriches biodiversity- micro-organisms, soil flora and fauna, plants and

animals. 4. Requires less water and promotes water conservation. 5. Improves and maintains agro ecosystem and natural landscape for sustainable

production. 6. Depends mostly on renewable on-farm resources thereby reduces the cost of

production. 7. Encourages consumption of renewable energy resources- mechanical and other

alternate sources of fuel. 8. Includes animals as an essential part of organic system, which helps maintaining soil

fertility and increases the income of farmers.

41 | P a g e

9. Ensures pollution free - air, water, soil, food and, natural ecosystems 10. Conserves agro-biodiversity. 11. Protects and enhances traditional knowledge in farming, processing and seed

improvement leading to its protection for the future generations. 12. Produces chemical free food and develops a healthy food culture leady to healthy life. 13. Reduces the food – mileage and, thereby, carbon emission. Why Organic in Sikkim The vision of Organic Farming in Sikkim is the attribution of the following factors: 1. The farming system is mostly rain-fed. 2. Farming practice is traditionally organic. 3. Low productivity compared to irrigated agriculture. 4. Soil rich in organic carbon. 5. Fertilizer use very low compared to national average (12 kg/Ha in comparison to the national average of 90 kg/Ha). 6. Humid climate – more vegetation leading to increased source of Organic Matter. 7. Climate congenial for cultivation of fruits, off-season vegetables, spices and flowers, high value low volume crops The year wise target for conversion and certification
