Mokokchung district's NABARD credit plan for 2023-24 puts the total priority-sector lending potential at Rs 109.00 crore. Farming and allied activities make up the lion's share at about Rs 79.31 crore (roughly 73% of the plan), while small and medium businesses (MSME) come next at Rs 20.95 crore (about 19%).
On the farm side, ordinary crop loans - mostly for rice and maize, the district's main food grains, plus tomato, passion fruit and orange - carry the largest single potential at Rs 41.26 crore. Livestock is the other big story: pigs, sheep and goats (Rs 11.70 cr), dairy (Rs 8.31 cr) and poultry (Rs 3.39 cr) together open up strong lending room, and the plan pushes better meat-yield breeds, a hygienic slaughter house and meat processing. Plantation crops - agar, tea, rubber, areca nut and coffee - add scope, and named projects give a head start: the Salo Coffee Producer Company FPO covering Mangkolemba and Ongpangkong blocks, a seed-potato technology project run by Krishi Vigyan Kendra in Longjang village, and a NABARD-built rural market haat in Mongsenyimti village. Fisheries (Rs 2.50 cr) and food & agro processing round out the openings.
The plan is blunt about what holds the district back: heavy dependence on monsoon and traditional farming, a shortage of storage and processing units, transport bottlenecks and no regulated markets, weak bio-fertiliser input and thin bank credit (priority-sector lending reached only 39.30% of target in FY 2021-22). It urges more mechanisation, SHG/FPO federations and RIDF/NIDA-funded infrastructure.
What the plan promotes
- Rice and maize are the major food grains; tomato, passion fruit and orange are the important horticultural crops; Agar, tea, rubber, areca nut and coffee are the main plantation crops across the district's six hill ranges (Ongpangkong, Asetkong, Langpangkong, Jangpetkong, Japukong, Tsurangkong).
- Livestock is the biggest allied driver: term-loan potential of Rs 11.70 cr for sheep-goat-piggery, Rs 8.31 cr for dairy and Rs 3.39 cr for poultry; way forward is improved meat-yield breeds, AI centre, hygienic slaughter house, cold storage and meat processing units.
- Crop loan (KCC) carries the single largest agri potential at Rs 41.26 cr; thrust areas for 2023-24 are farm mechanisation, cash crop and nursery development, quality seed and feed production units, and integrated farming.
- Under NABARD Farm Sector Promotional Fund (FSPF), a Rs 5.51 lakh grant project on 'Transfer of technology on seed potato production and promotion of seed village concept' is being run by Krishi Vigyan Kendra in Longjang village, targeting 40 MT of certified seed potato.
- Salo Coffee Producer Company Ltd, an FPO promoted under the Central Sector Scheme covering farmers from Mangkolemba and Ongpangkong blocks, set up with a Rs 25.00 lakh grant through Associated Tea & Agro Management Services Pvt Ltd, Guwahati (a CBBO under NABARD).
- A Rural Market Haat constructed by NABARD in Mongsenyimti village with a Rs 15.00 lakh grant (sanctioned to Mongsenyimti Village Council) to give rural communities an accessible market for farm and off-farm produce.
Gaps the plan names
- Dependence on monsoon and traditional methods of cultivation limits productivity.
- Lack of storage, processing units and post-harvest infrastructures across the district.
- Transportation bottlenecks and absence of regulated markets.
- Lack of technical and bio-fertiliser inputs as well as inadequate bank credit; priority-sector credit flow was only 39.30% of target in FY 2021-22, a downward trend that is a matter of concern.
- Limited supply of improved breeds of cattle and pigs, shortage of concentrated feed, and lack of extension services.
