Sambhal's NABARD credit plan for 2023-24 sizes up about ₹4,367 crore of lending potential across the district. Farming and allied work makes up roughly 77% (₹3,361 crore), while small businesses (MSME) account for around 11% (₹481 crore) - split as ₹328 crore of working capital and ₹153 crore of term loans.
The biggest single opportunity is regular crop loans at ₹2,323 crore, for wheat, paddy, urad, bajra, potato and mustard, with sugarcane and menthol (mentha) as the main cash crops. Beyond that, three clusters stand out: food and agro-processing at ₹304 crore, storage and cold-chain infrastructure at ₹219 crore (warehouses, godowns, mandis, cold storage), and farm mechanisation at ₹170 crore. Dairy leads livestock at ₹56 crore, backed by 56 dairy cooperatives, with poultry adding ₹48 crore. The district's ODOP product is bone & horn handicraft, where 250 units already have bank credit.
The plan is candid about what holds Sambhal back: shortage of good seed, fertiliser and veterinary services; no working milk-collection routes; a falling water table (several blocks are over-exploited); weak markets and underdeveloped rural haats for non-farm produce; and patchy power supply. It recommends reviving milk routes, setting up chilling and processing units, better animal breeds, micro-irrigation and stronger FPOs.
What the plan promotes
- Crop credit dominates the plan at ₹2323.13cr, driven by wheat, paddy, urad, bajra, potato and mustard, with sugarcane and menthol (mentha) as the district's main cash crops and several crops yielding above the state average
- Food and agro processing is the single biggest term/ancillary opportunity at ₹303.72cr, alongside development potential in dairy, dairy products, medicinal & aromatic plants, horticulture, fisheries, vermicompost and bamboo
- Storage and marketing infrastructure (warehouses, godowns, market yards, silos, cold-storage/cold-chain) offers ₹218.81cr of the ₹292.35cr agri-infrastructure potential
- Dairy is the leading livestock line at ₹55.69cr, supported by 56 dairy cooperative societies in the district; poultry adds ₹47.66cr and sheep/goat/piggery ₹13.94cr
- Farm mechanisation potential of ₹170.25cr, with a thrust on high-tech agriculture, IoT/precision-farming applications and use of small-scale farm machinery to cut costs
- ODOP scheme running for bone & horn (haddi-seeng) handicraft, under which 250 beneficiaries have already received bank credit
Gaps the plan names
- Shortage of quality inputs - good-quality seed, fertiliser, nursery stock, veterinary services, poultry hatchery units and cattle-feed units
- Milk-route (milk collection) unavailability and the need to restart old milk routes and set up bulk milk-chilling units
- Declining groundwater table and inadequate forest cover, with Sambhal and several blocks in the 'critical/over-exploited' category (groundwater development rate 85.93-194%)
- Weak marketing system for non-farm produce and underdeveloped rural haats (markets)
- Inadequate/erratic power supply constraining farm and enterprise activity, plus gaps in integrated micro-irrigation and water-conservation systems
