This dataset provides the agriculture statistics of Odisha (then Orissa), India, for the agricultural year 2006-07 (July 2006 to June 2007), taken from the state’s annual publication Orissa Agricultural Statistics 2006-07 (Directorate of Agriculture & Food Production, Orissa). Most tables cover every district of the state with a state total; others give state-level time series and comparisons with other Indian states, All-India and other countries. The tables cover crop area, production and yield by district, season (kharif and rabi) and crop for all major crops, including paddy and rice, wheat, maize, ragi, millets, pulses, oilseeds, fibres, vegetables, spices, sugarcane and tobacco, with HYV and local varieties, and the rice area, yield and production series from 1990-91 to 2006-07; rainfall: monthly normal rainfall and rainy days, monthly and weekly rainfall for 2006, and temperature and humidity at weather stations; land use, cultivated, kharif, rabi and gross cropped area, cropping intensity, HYV area, mixed cropping, and area under fruits and flowers; inputs: fertiliser (N, P, K) consumption by district, by state and in other countries, fertiliser and seed sale rates, seed distribution and replacement rates, farm mechanisation (1995-96 to 2006-07), electricity use in agriculture (1990-91 to 2006-07), irrigation potential, private irrigation and irrigated area by crop, and soil test values; crop loans (1995-96 to 2006-07), crop insurance (2000 to 2006), minimum support prices, paddy procurement (1995-96 to 2006-07) and marketable surplus (2001-02 to 2006-07); comparisons with other states and All-India, including Orissa versus All-India productivity (1950-51 to 1999-2000), poverty lines, and the share and growth of agriculture in state and national income; and supporting data on population and workers (Census 2001), operational holdings (Agriculture Census 2000-01), villages with crop loss (1999 to 2006), flood-affected area, major cyclones (1970 to 2005), departmental farms, irrigation rates, scheme-wise expenditure and staff position. Area is in thousand hectares, production in thousand tonnes (fibres in thousand bales) and yield in kg per hectare unless a column states otherwise. Units are given in the column names, and district names are spelt the same way in every table. The figures are aggregates and contain no personal information. The dataset is useful for policymakers, agricultural planners, researchers and analysts studying crop production, input use and agricultural development in Odisha.
