B. Value of Inputs:
The value of output of increment in stock for each category of animal/poultry is worked out district wise
The value of silkworm cocoons arrived at State level, after adjusting the cost of rearing silkworm
cocoons, is allocated to the districts in proportion to the area under Mulberry in each district.
The deductible inputs are i) Seed, ii) Organic Manure (Cattle and Buffalo dung), iii) Chemical Fertilisers, iv)
Repairs and Maintenance of fixed assets and other operational costs, v) Feed of livestock, vi) Irrigation charges,
vii) Market charges, viii) Electricity, ix) Pesticides and Insecticides and x) Diesel oil consumption.
To work out the value of these input items at the district level, the state level estimates arrived at independently
and those estimates have been distributed to various districts on the basis of certain proportions as indicated
below:
i) Seed:
For some of the crops, where the seed rate used in income estimates are based on quantum per hectare,
the district wise value of seed is to be worked out as the product of seed rate, district area under the crop
and the district price of the Crop. In respect of other crops the value of seed is worked out as specific
proportion of the value of output of the crop.
ii) Organic Manure:
The district wise estimates of value of output of dung manure as worked out in Animal Husbandry sector
are taken as the value of input for respective districts.
iii) Chemical Fertilisers:
State level value is distributed to districts in proportion to total quantity of chemical fertilisers distributed/
consumed as obtained from the Agriculture Department.
iv) Repairs and Maintenance of fixed assets and operational cost:
State level value is distributed to the districts in proportion to the total value of output of Agriculture and
Animal Husbandry (excluding value of dung and increment in livestock and poultry) in each district.
v) Feed of livestock:
Based on CSO’s methodology, value of output of Fodder, Grass, Sugarcane trash and 95 percent of straw
and stalks are considered as value of roughages. Similarly, the value of concentrates fed to each category
of animals and poultry as worked out separately at the state level are allocated to districts on the basis of
district wise proportion of relevant category of animal and poultry.
vi) Irrigation charges:
The data on irrigation charges paid by farmers to Government at current prices are collected from the
district administration (DC’s). This can be made use of. At constant prices, this can be obtained by using
the growth observed in the area irrigated by government canals.
