Parameters For Crops - A Data Oriented Complete Guide - Work in Progres

In our Agriculture for Everybody blog series, we are going to see a Data Oriented Complete Guide for Parameters in Crops.


We have introduced many parameters (criteria or filter) in the previous blogs.  Some of the parameters were introduced as the very basis for selecting the crops while some of them were introduced as information.  While some of the parameters many not be even covered by the blog, but may be important as well.

To consolidate the information covered and to provide the parameters as a data, I have compiled this template as a starting point for farmers to filter the crops based on their needs.

Note: Request readers to help update the parameters of the crops and let me know of any other parameters.

Notes:

• ST/MT/LT (age) stands for Short Term Crops(ST), Medium Term Crops(MT), Long Term Crops(LT), (age) stands for the economical lifetime of the crops
• SSH/MSH stands for Single Season Harvest Crops(SSH),  Multiple Season Harvest Crops (MSH)
• SH/MH stands for Single Harvest(SH), Multiple Harvest(MH)
• SC (%) stands for Shade Crops.  This will help us to grow shade crops once the main crops are grown. (%) stands for percentage of shade required
• Anything that starts with WIP* means Work In Progress. The same will be updated in a future date once the information is available

• I have NOT considered Food Crops v/s Cash Crops, Localized, Naturalized v/s Exotic Crops, Import v/s Export Crops, Shelf Life Crops etc 

Choosing the Right Combination of Crops - Localized, Naturalized v/s Exotic Crops

In our Agriculture for Everybody blog series, we are going to see the Right Combination of Crops.


We will see the difference between Localized, Naturalized & Exotic Crops and also will see how to make a little bit more money than the general crops.


What is meant by Localized, Naturalized & Exotic Crops?

Localized Crops - Any crop that grows in your area naturally and is also part of the local community for many centuries are considered Localized Crops

For eg, Coconut, Mango, etc

Naturalized Crops - Any crop that has been introduced into the local community and has been accepted by the local community are considered Naturalized Crops

For eg, Glyricidia, Carrot, Beet Root, Palm Oil, Date Palm etc

Exotic Crops - Any crop that is neither part of the local community nor has been naturalized so far but specifically grown for catering to a specific reason are considered Exotic Crops

For eg, Lettuc, Braccoli etc


Is it necessity to have Localized, Naturalized & Exotic Crops?

Simply putting it, both Localized Crops and Naturalized Crops are better than Exotic Crops.  The Naturalized Crops are those that have been able to grow in our environmental conditions and as well as accepted by the local community.

Only those Exotic Crops that are adaptable to our environmental conditions should be grown and in future this may become a Naturalized Crop.  Until that point of time, it is better to restrict ourselves to a small percentage of Exotic Crops.

By growing Naturalized Crops & Exotic Crops, we are doing ourselves a favour and to the nation by reducing the import of those crops (like Date Palm, Oil Palm etc) and thereby saving outflow of precious foreign reserves.


When & Who should go for Exotic Crops?

Any farmer whose very survival is already taken care of by Localized & Naturalized Crops but would like to get additional (premium) income should opt for Exotic Crops.

Generally, Exotic Crops are favoured only by a few segment of people and hence it is advisable that only those farmers who have a market for these crops should go fo it.  The very purpose of going for Exotic Crops is to get extra premium income from your crops.

For eg, if you live nearby metropolitan cities and if you are able to get contract from 5 star hotels for supplying exotic crops, you will get bumper profit.  Another option is to supply exotic crops to those Bed & Breakfast type of motels/houses.

In my above example, I have mentioned Lettuce & Broccoli specifically keeping in mind American & European visitors in mind.  But you also should consider other exotic crops as there is a possibility of visitors from China, Japan and the Middle East may surpass other visitors in future.


How much percentage of  Exotic Crops is required?

While the Localized Crops & Naturalized Crops should be your main crop and a large portion need to be allocated to it, the Exotic Crops (less than 5-10%) can be limited to very little of your total crops.

Choosing the Right Combination of Crops - Food Crops v/s Cash Crops

In our Agriculture for Everybody blog series, we are going to see how to choose the Right Combination of Crops.


We have already seen 3 filters so far and in my view those are the very important filters for choosing the right combination of crops.  If that being the case, what is the new filter I am talking about?  Please see the difference between the previous filter titles and the current title.  In my previous titles, I have used "&" (a combination) and in this title, I have used "v/s" (exclusion).


What is meant by Food Crops & Cash Crops?

Food Crops - Generally, any crop that are consumed directly as food are considered Food Crops

For eg, Vegetables, Mango, Coconut, Sapota, Cereals, Millets etc

Cash Crops - Generally, any crop that are not consumed directly as food or any crop that is used as input and comes as output in some other form are considered Cash Crops

For eg, Sugarcane, Tobacco, Cotton, Flowers, Oil Seeds, Rubber, Tea, Coffee, Coleus, Vettiver etc


Is it necessity to have both Food Crops and Cash Crops?

Simply putting it, the main necessity is to have Food Crops and it is better to avoid the Cash Crops.

The main reason I have used "v/s" in the title is to re-inforce that it is not a combination but can be used sparingly.


When & Who should go for Cash Crops?

Any farmer whose very survival is already taken care of by Food Crops but would like to get additional (premium) income should opt for Cash Crops.

Putting it in another way, if your expenses are not dependent on the income generated by the farm, you can go for Cash Crops to a large extent subjecting to the filters already mentioned.


How much percentage of  Food Crops and Cash Crops are required?

While the Food Crops should be your main crop and a large portion need to be allocated to it, the Cash Crops can be limited to very little (less than 5%) of your total crops.

Fruit Crops - A Data Oriented Complete Guide - Work in Progress

In our Agriculture for Everybody blog series, we are going to see a Data Oriented Complete Guide to Fruit Crops.


I am creating a Fruit Crops Template wherein the very basic information is captured for the particular crop along with its varieties.  This will allow the farmer to understand whether the crops is suitable to him and can focus his energies to deep dive on that particular crop.

I am sure many of you will have questions related to this template and I would like to receive them so that the template can be refined for better use.  I request the farming community to provide the data so that the other farmers can benefit from this information.  Also, I am planning to include the Varieties Within a Crop rather than just the overview of the crop. Hence, while providing the data keep this in mind.

Please note that the current template may be expanded and I have left out many criteria due to lack of space and information and may be incorporated at a later point of time.

The first table (Parameters Template) will contain the parameters filter while the second table (Detailed Template) will contain more details about the crop.

Note: Request readers to help update the parameters of the crops and let me know of any other parameters.
