PROCEEDINGS OF THE STATE LEVEL TECHNICAL COMMITTEE OF ANDHRA
PRADESH MEETING HELD ON 02.03.2015 at APCOB, H.O., HYDERABAD
The General Manager (L&A), APCOB welcomed all the participants to the
State Level Technical Committee meeting for Andhra Region. She stated that
APCOB has been convening the SLTC meeting for the then unified state of Andhra
Pradesh to review the scales of finance for various crops and presently in view of
bifurcation of the State into the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, the
SLTC meeting for Andhra region is being convened with the officials from o/o
Commissioner of Agriculture A.P, Commissioner of Horticulture A.P, SLBC A.P,
NABARD, major bankers likeSBI, SBH, Andhra Bank and representativesfrom
other departments of the residual state of A.P.
The Chief General Manager, APCOB also, while welcoming the members of
the SLTC, Andhra emphasized the need to review and moderate upon the scales
of finance fixed by the respective District Level Technical committees wherein
the field level functionaries of Agriculture Department, Horticulture Department,
Bankers and progressive farmers participated in the deliberations. He requested
all the members, particularly participants fromAgriculture, Horticulture and all
other departments as Fisheries, Medicinal and Aromatic plants and Cane
commissioner’s office etc,to deliberate and make their suggestions, in
moderating the Scales of Finance fixed by DLTC (District Level Technical
Committee)of each district and suitably advise any modifications for adoption by
the banks. He has also requested all the members for arriving at a consensus for
adopting uniform due dates and for synchronization of land records with loaning
to avoid double finance.
The Chief Manager,SLBC A.Psuggested to base the fixation of SOF taking
the gross value of yield,besides cost of cultivation, so as to ensure that the farmer
is left with some surplus after repayment of bank loan and also to ensurethat
uniformSOF is adopted for a crop which is grown in the neighboring districts
Document1
with similar agro climatic conditions. Also suggested to invite a few progressive
farmers to the SLTC meeting.
In order to improve the flow of agricultural credit adequately at the
ground level, the AGM NABARD suggested that for realistic fixation of the scales
of finance, amount should necessarily be fixed by all the DLTCs as a range
instead of absolute figures. It was also suggested that higher IMBP(Individual
maximum borrowing power) is to be fixed as otherwise the purpose of fixing
SOF would be defeated.
The State Level Technical Committee took up the review of Scales of
Finance for each of the irrigated and un-irrigated crops, both for Khariff-15 and
Rabi 2015-16Crop-wise and District-wise as fixed by the DLTCs concerned. The
SLTC had detailed discussions on the cost of cultivation,components involved in
arriving at cost of cultivation, yield and also value of gross yield etc. pertaining to
all major crops and decided to recommend suggestive range of scales of finance
taking the local factors into consideration. It was advised by SLBC that SOF for
Seed production under any crop is not to be included in the scales of finance
hereafter as it does not come under working capital requirementand to remove
Salt culture too from SOF as it does not pertain to agriculture. The SOF for
Mulberry and Tobacco will be communicated to all on receiving the information
from the Sericulture department and the Tobacco Board.
Further, the SLTC decided to advise the DLTCs not to fix lower scales of
finance for crops not being cultivated in their districts as it gives wrong
indications/information to other districts which cultivate those crops. In respect
of crops under millets some DLTCs fixed the SOF FOR millets as a group, hence
are advised to fix the SOF as a range for individual millet crops as
jowar,bazra,ragi etc. Similarly DLTCs are advised to fix SOF for specific pulses
instead of as a group as some DLTCs have fixed.

Sir,
Sub:
State Level Technical Committee (SLTC) – Fixation of Scales of Finance for
the year 2014-15– SOF for Tobacco crop – Request to facilitate the review of
the Sof of Tobacco – Bifurcation of components in consultation with Tobacco
Board, Scientist and Bankers - Reg.
***
As you are aware, the DLTCs of all the districts have fixed Scales of Finance for
various crops for the year 2014-15 which were reviewed by SLTC in its meeting held on
24.01.2014. The State Level Technical Committee has recommended a range for each crop,
except for SOF of Tobacco crop. Following the deliberations on fixation of SoF for Tobacco,
SLTC felt that SoF recommended by DLTCs might be including cost of curing and the cost
of barns, etc. The representative of SLBC who is a member of SLTC represented that the
SoF for cultivation of Tobacco is to be moderated only after consulting the Tobacco Board,
one Scientist and Bankers from Tobacco growing areas.
We, therefore, request you to facilitate APCOB / SLBC in moderating the SoF for
Tobacco for 2014-15 by meeting the officials of the Tobacco Board at Guntur and one
Scientist and also Bankers’ financing the cultivation of tobacco crop on the bifurcation of
the components of SoF as fixed by DLTC and furnish a report to APCOB by 28 th February,
2014.
Please treat the matter as URGENT.
Yours faithfully,
Sd/Chief General Manager

Meeting convened by the State Cooperative Banks concerned every year. In this context it
is to inform that

meeting held on 24.01.2014 at Andhra Pradesh State Cooperative opined that the Scales
of finance for 2014-15 in respect of Aracea nut may be compared with the Scales of finance
fixed by Karnataka State Cooperative Bank and then be moderated.
We, therefore, request you to inform the scales of finance fixed for Aracea nut crop
to enable APCOB in moderating the Scales of Finance for financing the cultivation of the
crop in the State
