NABARD's Potential Linked Credit Plan for Kumuram Bheem Asifabad (2023-24) sizes the district's bankable opportunity at ₹2,517.11 crore, up 7.9% on the previous year's target. Farming dominates: agriculture and allied activities account for ₹2,124 crore (about 84%), while MSME is ₹265.60 crore (10.5%) and the rest of the priority sector ₹127 crore.
For an entrepreneur, three clusters stand out. First, cotton is king — ₹878 crore of crop credit sits on 91,500 hectares, and the plan urges intercropping with green gram and red gram, opening room for input supply, aggregation and ginning. Second, the processing and storage gap is wide: ₹65 crore is earmarked for warehouses, godowns and cold storage (the district has just 19 godowns at its 3 market yards), and ₹42 crore for food and agro processing, backed by 3 working FPOs. Third, livestock and machinery: farm mechanisation (₹85 crore), dairy (₹43 crore) and fisheries (₹21 crore) are all sizeable term-loan lines, with the plan recommending cluster schemes on dairy, sheep and vegetables.
The PLP's own complaint: there is too little cold storage in the tribal agency area, power supply is unreliable despite 68,444 farm connections, soil-testing labs sit idle, spurious seed is causing crop losses, and chilli growers must cart produce to a neighbouring state to sell it.
What the plan promotes
- Cotton is the anchor crop with ₹878.40 cr of crop-loan potential on 91,500 ha; the PLP flags large scope for intercropping cotton with green gram, black gram and red gram, taught through Polam Badi at the KVK
- Paddy (₹108.10 cr on 11,500 ha) and red gram (₹70.56 cr on 14,700 ha) are the other major bankable crops, alongside soybean, jowar, maize and green gram
- Farm mechanisation is the single biggest term-loan opportunity at ₹84.64 cr, fitting the district's stated need for timely cultivation under climate stress
- Dairy term lending of ₹43.06 cr plus scope to form new dairy cooperative societies; area-development schemes on dairy, sheep and pandal vegetable cultivation are recommended for cluster financing
- Plantation and horticulture including sericulture ₹40.01 cr — mango and pomegranate are the main horticulture crops grown in the district
- Storage and marketing infrastructure ₹65.23 cr for warehouses, godowns and cold storage; the district has only 19 godowns (44,600 MT) at its 3 market yards and needs more cold storage in the tribal agency area
Gaps the plan names
- Non-availability of storage space and cold storage in the tribal agency area needs special attention, as it does not attract private investment from outsiders
- Power supply needs to be stabilised — despite 68,444 agricultural connections, reliable and uninterrupted power remains a major problem
- Soil-testing labs need to be made functional and staffed; mini laboratories must be revived and more soil samples tested
- Spurious seeds are causing crop failures and farmer suicides — aggressive measures are needed to check their supply
- The 3 regulated markets need additional infrastructure facilities; Rabi-season paddy procurement should start on time
