NABARD's Potential Linked Credit Plan for Haveri (2023-24) sizes the district's bankable opportunity at ₹5,866 crore. Farming dominates: agriculture takes ₹4,736 crore (80.73%) of the plan while MSME is just ₹545 crore (9.29%), with housing, export credit and education making up most of the rest. Haveri is a four-river, mostly rainfed district where small and marginal farmers hold 72.5% of the land, so almost every opportunity here is built on crops and livestock.
For an entrepreneur, three clusters stand out. First, value addition on signature crops: Mango is the official One District One Product with 35%+15% capital subsidy on offer, and the government is being asked to build the value chain for the GI-famous Bydagi (Byadgi) chilli alongside maize and groundnut — food and agro processing carries ₹66 crore and is backed by PMFME. Second, livestock: dairy is the single largest allied line at ₹717 crore on 489 cooperative societies and 386 collection centres, with sheep and goat rearing (₹178 crore) riding the district's 312,000 sheep; NABARD has stood up nine FPOs across maize, chilly, groundnut, millets, mango, dairy and goat. Third, storage and water: godowns are sought in all 8 blocks (₹76 crore), and a BAIF watershed plus sprinkler/drip push aim to lift rainfed yields.
The PLP's own complaint: silted minor-irrigation tanks, unreliable rural power, and inadequate post-harvest and marketing infrastructure that forces distress sales — the very gaps a builder of cold chain, godowns or processing capacity could fill.
What the plan promotes
- Mango value chain — Mango is the major horticulture crop and is the identified One District One Product (ODOP) for Haveri, with capital subsidy up to 35% (GoI) + 15% (GoK) available for promoting value addition under the agro food processing thrust
- Bydagi (Byadgi) chilli — the State Government is asked to develop the value chain of this GI-famous chilli alongside Mango, Maize and Groundnut; NABARD is promoting a chilly commodity FPO in the district
- Dairy development (₹716.87 cr potential, the largest allied-agri line) — 489 dairy cooperative societies and 386 milk collection centres operate; the PLP pushes mini-dairy units and door-step Mobile Veterinary Clinics to de-risk farm income
- Maize, groundnut, millets and cotton processing — Maize, paddy and jowar are the major food crops and cotton is the major cash crop; nine NABARD-promoted FPOs (Maize, Chilly, Groundnut, Millets, Mango, plus dairy and sheep/goat FPOs) cover all taluks
- Protected cultivation of vegetables in green/polyhouses — the district is well connected to Mumbai, Bengaluru and tier-II cities, giving a good market for vegetables and fruits that the plan wants encouraged
- Sheep and goat rearing (sheep/goat/piggery ₹178.04 cr) — 312 thousand indigenous sheep and 144 thousand goats in the district; NABARD is promoting dedicated sheep/goat-rearing FPOs
Gaps the plan names
- Poor condition of Minor Irrigation tanks and water-distribution networks due to poor management, silting and encroachment — the PLP calls for desiltation of water tanks and groundwater-recharge structures since most of the net sown area is rainfed
- Lack of assured and quality power supply in rural areas, including to existing and prospective industrial units
- Inadequate post-harvest facilities and marketing arrangements for agriculture produce, leading to distress sale; strengthening post-harvest infrastructure and the extension network is the top suggested action
- Low crop diversification with higher income — the district stays locked into low-value cropping
- Industrially backward base — none of the taluks are considered industrially developed; the plan asks for early operationalisation of the identified Industrial Areas with regular, assured power
