Israel and India are not comparable.
One is a nation of eight million people, the other of 1.25 billion.
Arable land per person is three times more in India than in Israel (0.04 hectares).
One has about a quarter million hectares of cultivated land (283,000 hectares), while the other has 140 million hectares, or 500 times as much.
Yet Israel exported agricultural produce worth $2.12 billion in 2011, which was as much as twelfth of India’s exports of $24.44 billion that year.
This is where Israel’s expertise comes in .
Israel has only 64,000 farmers. Agriculture is carried out by cooperatives which get land from the state on 49-year leases. Private farmers tend to pool resources. Scientists, extension workers, farmers and processing industries are integrated.
Farmers push the companies to innovate.
Under the Indo-Israel partnership, 21 centres of excellence are being set up in nine states for dairying, bee-keeping, floriculture and horticulture .
Minimum investment required for a Israel high-tech agriculture is Rs 840 per square metre, or Rs 34 lakh per acre without subsidy.
Not every Indian farmer can practise Israel high-tech agriculture, but the enterprising can attempt it, if other conditions permit.
