17. STRENGHTS
• Capacity to produce seed production in large
areas
• Palm provides livelihood to significant number
of families
• IT Sector is well devoloped to dessiminate
technology
18. WEAKNESESS
• Spourios seed production
• Irrigation facilities are not well devoloped
• Not suited to grow water loving crops
19. OPPURTUNITIES
• Use IT to deliver scientific advices to farmers
• Pig farming can be taken up as livelihood to
farmers
• Development of palm research centre
20. THREATS
• Ground water exploitation
• Lack of suitable irrigation projects
• More dependence on IT
• Real estate is increasing
22. STRENGHTS
• Suitable agro climatic conditions for
cotton,paddy
• cropping systems along with dairy animals
• Good network of canals and tube wells for
irrigation
• Less urban biasness, predominantly being
rural districts
• Receptive and innovative farmers with large
acceptance of recommended inputs
23. WEAKNESSES
• Rainfall is highly erratic.
• Increase in incidence of pests and diseases
• Injudicious use of pesticides.
• Monoculture of cotton-wheat, rice–wheat
cropping systems and their adverse
effects on natural assets
• Local labour availability scarce and costly
24. OPPURTUNITIES
• Production and Productivity of paddy can be increased.
•
• Suitable agro climatic conditions for diversification within in cotton- rice
cropping rice systems.
• Mechanization for solving the problems of labour.
• Improving information and communication technology for real time
extension
• Establishment of commodity based and /or technology based farmers
associations.
• Improving the linkages and synergies with private sector, NGOs and other
public sector organisations
• Electricity consumption
