ductivity because of our various development activities, research and inputs and other improved practice which we are having.

As far as the budgetary allocation is concerned, actually, I would like to mention that unfortunately, it is not keeping pace with our requirements. We have been saying that our budgetary allocation should be more than five percent of the total allocation, but actually, it is about 2.50/0. So we have been trying to object to the Planning Commission. So we have been writing to the Planning Commission to please increase our resources. The question is not only one of self-sufficiency. We may be self-sufficient in food grains, but if we have produced more, we can export more and then generate self-sufficiency for other sectors. So we're never content with whatever we've got. What I'm trying to say is that we would like to produce more and then export. But the problem today is that we're having less investment in the agricultural sector. So as I mentioned in the agricultural policy, one of the aims of the agricultural policy is to increase investment, especially, on infrastructure development like irrigation, roads, transportation and other activities. And if you've seen in my paper, the credit input has gone up more than double in the last five years, from I 15,060 million rupees in 1991-1992 to 21 1,1 13 million rupees, more than double the investment, not only in the government sector, but then from the credit portion also, they are increasing the investment. What the farmer needs is money. Actually, he is in need of work. But you must give him the support which is required in terms of cash condition. So that is very, very clear if you see this input portion. In the last three, four years, the agricultural credit has gone up from I 1 5,060 million to 21 l, 1 13 million, so that is essential for the increase in the agricultural sector which we are having. Is there any question?

THE CHAIRPERSON (MR. SHIV KHARE):

The question was: policy of self-sufficiency in agriculture will continue.

MR. KAMAL MOHAN CHADHA (INDIA):

Sir, as I told you, we have no more time to address this as plain and simple. We have, too, surpluses for export only. As far as the question about cash crops is concerned, that I did not touch yet, but we got most of our exports through cash crops. So we've got lots of emphasis on tobacco, they sell fruits, horticulture, forests, vegetables, flowers, all these cash crops are also getting their investment. But I think that paper talks only of food grains. I'm given these 192 million tons of food grains production against the requirement of 160 to 170 million tons every year which we are having. So this food grain production increases for rice, meat, barley, and oilseeds. So in self-sufficiency, it is there, but again, we have to keep our fingers crossed. One bad season of monsoon rains and then the whole thing will go bad. Thank you.

HON. MARGARITO B. TEVES (PHILLIPINES):

Follow P and A clarification. The equivalent of a little over 1,800 in terms of production of rice, that's equivalent to I .9 tons per hectare, right? You said that productivity has
