If we compare the fertlizer consumption in Orissa with other states and compare the crop productivity at the same time, we can clearly see a similar pattern emerge.Question policy makers need to ask is if usage of fertlizer leads to higher productivity, why the usage of fertilizer is so low?? Does the farmers have access to loans at low interest rate?? What is their rate of return ?? Is the rate of return on capital expenditure high enough for sustaining the farming enterprise?? Where are we going wrong??
