US is the king of corn growing, which is used for all purposes including bio 
fuel. Now since 1961 this illegal occupation of Goa by the bharats has led to 
the destruction of agricultural land in the name of development. Since the 
embargo on Goa in the 50's the Portuguese made it a point to concentrate on 
agriculture development and we were self sufficient. The imposition of this 
fake democracy  has led the puppets to destroy what is left of Goa.

Excerpts:


*[XVIII]  AGRICULTURE*



*Goa must deliberate if Agriculture needs to be given the ‘Industry Status’*

A new policy shall be introduced to encourage the setting-up of large
collective co-operative farms by owners of contiguous farming lands/strips
to form viable agricultural units. Organic farming shall be encouraged
through Government subsidy to convert/recycle bio-degradable wastes.
Agricultural low lying fields, specially paddy-fields shall not be allowed
to be converted to horticulture or other activities by filling. Mining
operations or dumping of mining rejects in agricultural lands shall be
stopped altogether. (Example: Satari, Bicholim, Sanguem & Quepem Talukas).
The existing ‘Tenancy Act’ (Land to the Tiller Act) shall be reviewed and
revitalized and/or modified to encourage agriculture. *An Agriculture
College or Institute shall be set-up in Goa.* Grazing tracks shall be
defined and maintained and the movement of cattle on trunk roads and
highways for grazing and watering shall be prohibited.. The effects of
putting fallow agricultural lands under ‘Jathroppa’ cultivation/plantation
for the promotion of the manufacture of non polluting bio-diesel in the
State shall  be actively studied  and  encouraged if found viable.



*Explanation:*

*It is the belief of this party that from the time that the Tenancy Act
came into force, all agricultural lands have been exponentially neglected
in the course of the years. Studies  conducted and opinions gathered by the
party indicate that the bonanza handed out to the “agriculturists”,
where-under entire  agricultural lands belonging to several owners, many of
which, in numerous cases, ended up in the hands of a single individual who,
overnight became one of the bigger land owners, without any obligation or
accountability to a higher authority and without having to pay a market
price for the land s/he obtained, has been the root cause for the malaise
affecting today’s “agricultural” scenario. The smaller or the bigger land
owners including the Comunidades, individuals, religious institutions
played a preponderant role earlier, in ensuring that the person to whom the
paddy field was leased would cultivate the same and ensure that the
production was sufficient not only  to pay the annual lease  rent, but also
sufficient to keep body and soul of the lease-holder in good cheer. There
is nothing in the Tenancy Act, as it stands today, to enforce or even to
verify the quantum of production in each paddy field and whether the
cultivation being carried out, if at all, matches the potential of the
concerned field. In many cases large tenanted  lands has been transferred
to so called agricultural co-operatives which are,  in fact building and/or
construction companies or firms in connivance with the Tenant and the
Mamlatdar. Such lands have been subsequently sub-divided into plots
admeasuring around 1000 square meters  where posh bungalows are sought to
be built under the guise of “farm houses” ( an exception to the building
rules  but protected under the Tenancy Act which has served well the
tenant, the owner and the corrupt Mamlatdar). In other cases paddy-fields
known as ‘Khazans” are being exploited for their fish potential, by
deliberately breaking or breaching the ‘bunds” to allow entry of saline
water.*



*In the world of globalization, and GATT, we see  a country like China in a
position to export to India one of our major food staples namely ‘rice’  of
good quality at a price of approximately  Rs. 4 or thereabout per kilo.
This is or should be a sign on the wall for the Government of India , more
specifically for the Government of Goa (CAG report-‘Herald’- 17 Jan, 2005) *



*We cannot have age-old practices being carried on, the results of which
are there for every one to see. Man power in Goa is at a premium [at Rupees
15/- or more per day for a male and Rs. 100/- for a female in comparison to
much less in neighbouring Kholapur district in Maharashtra] and yet this
labour can be considered cheap in global terms, for  the y
