• Contribution of livestock sector (4.8-6.5% ) to total
G.D.P. has been steady and its contribution to
agricultural G.D.P. has gone up over the years from
22.6% in 1998-99 to more than 30% in 2007-08
• To achieve 4% growth rate in agricultural sector, the
growth rate in Animal Husbandry sector needs to be
increased from 6-7% to 10%

58
  Potential of growth in this sector is far more than
the existing growth rate
22.27 lac out of total 46.84 lac families find

• Achievement of Kharif 2008 were very poor due to vitiated recovery

atmosphere
• Rate of interest on crop loan reduced from 10% to 7 % per annum with
effect from 1.4.2006.
• NABARD is the main source of refinance for crop loan.
• Increased refinance rate of NABARD to 4 % during 2009-10 squeezed the
margin of coop. Bank
• Need to reduce the NABARD refinance rate to atleast 2.50 % for economic
viability of Coop. Banks. 63
