Let me rephrase it captain.
There are product's in Bihar that has signed up for Global Export tage from GOI.
Example- Bhagalpuri blanket, Litchis of Muzaffarpur, Makhana of Darbhanga.
What do u think happens when Farmers don't get their prices in bad season, massive losses and villap in the Media.
It wouldn't have been the same cases if Gov was just promoting the products with other forms of Industry running in the background. But judging by the gov approach they want these products to be end all be all for the District/Regions. Diverse buisness still being implemented in already established places and other district's getting the Jumla of Indigenous cultural product.
U got to remember the difference is Italy doens't have millions of people in one district alone we have multiple mouth to feed.
If look at the area of Lombardy where parmecean
originates then U will notice it is the most recognised product but the majority economy is driven be Aerospace, Wine, Automotives and electronics.
These are the scheme details, it is not the case that because there is ODOP, state gov will focus only on litchi and nothing else. the scheme is for granting funds for enhancing one product at a time. if state gov want litichi to be the focus now, they will get funds for infrastructure. once got what they wanted, after a few years they will move on to a different agri product.
Just like in italy, these are not primary industries, but promotion of tertiary industries.
Indian governance system work best on mission mode. historically majority of governance successes like polio TB vaccination are all done on mission mode.
=========
The scheme adopts the One District One Product (ODOP) approach to reap the benefit of scale in terms of procurement of inputs, availing common services and marketing of products. ODOP for the scheme will provide the framework for value chain development and alignment of support infrastructure. There may be more than one cluster of ODOP products in one district. There may be a cluster of ODOP products consisting of more than one adjacent district in a State.
The States would identify the food product for a district, keeping in perspective the focus of the scheme on perishables. A baseline study would be carried out by the State Government. The ODOP product could be a perishable Agri produce, cereal-based product, or a food product widely produced in a district and their allied sectors. An illustrative list of such products includes mango, potato, litchi, tomato, tapioca, kinnu, bhujia, petha, papad, pickle, millet-based products, fisheries, poultry, meat as well as animal feed among others. Besides, certain other traditional and innovative products including waste to wealth products could be supported under the Scheme. For example, honey, minor forest products in tribal areas, traditional Indian herbal edible items like turmeric, amla, haldi, etc.
Support for agricultural products would be for their processing along with efforts to reduce wastage, proper assaying, and storage and marketing.
For providing support existing individual micro-units for capital investment, preference would be given to those producing ODOP products. However, existing units producing other products would also be supported. In the case of capital investment by groups, predominately those involved in ODOP products would be supported.
Support to groups processing other products in such districts would only be for those already processing those products and with adequate technical, financial, and entrepreneurial strength. New units, whether for individuals or groups would only be supported for ODOP products.
Support for common infrastructure and marketing & branding would only be for ODOP products. In case of support for marketing & branding at the State or regional level, the same products of districts not having that product as ODOP could also be included.
The Department of Commerce is focusing on agriculture crops on a cluster approach for support for exports under the Agriculture Export Policy, and the Ministry of Agriculture is also focusing on a cluster approach for the development of specific agriproducts in districts having a comparative advantage. The ODOP approach of the scheme would lead to easing in providing common facilities and other support services.
