Ngesikhathi sokuqala kwe-CPRI, ngonyaka ka-1949, iNdiya yayikhiqiza amazambane ayizigidi ezingu-1.54 t endaweni engama-ha ayizigidi ezingu-0.234 ezingeni lokukhiqiza elimaphakathi elingu-6.58 t/ha. Ngokusho kwe-FAOSTAT, ukukhiqizwa kwamazambane eNdiya ngo-2013 kwakungu-45.34 million t endaweni engama-ha ayizigidi ezingu-1.99 kanye nomkhiqizo ongu-22.76 t/ha. Kungumsebenzi onzima wabalimi bamazambane, ososayensi kanye nabenzi benqubomgomo ukuthi indawo yamazambane, ukukhiqizwa kanye nokukhiqiza kwanda eminyakeni engaphezu kwamashumi ayi-6 ngo-8.5,29.4 kanye no-3.5, ngokulandelana. Umnikelo we-CPRI uye waqashelwa ngokwanele yisizwe izikhathi eziningana, nokho, amazambane eNdiya kusafanele ashintshe ekubeni yisithasiselo semifino abe yindlela yokuphepha kokudla eqinile. Amandla amazambane okukhiqiza ukudla okunomsoco okuphezulu kanye nokudla okomile endaweni ngayinye nangesikhathi, phakathi kwezitshalo ezinkulu zokudla, kwenze i-FAO yamemezela ukuthi iyisitshalo sokubhekana nokuvikeleka kokudla emhlabeni jikelele esikhathini esizayo kanye nokunciphisa ubumpofu ngo-2008. Inani elikhulayo lemibhangqwana esebenzayo, izinga elisheshayo lokufudukela emadolobheni, ukuthambekela okukhuphukile kokudla ngaphandle kwamakhaya, amazinga aphezulu emali engenayo yabantu kanye nendawo ebalulekile yamazambane ekudleni okusheshayo, kudala isimo esihle sokwanda okukhulu kokusetshenziswa kwamazambane esikhathini esizayo esiseduze nesikude.

Isidingo samazambane sasekhaya esilinganiselwa ku-122 million ton ngo-2050. processing amazambane asezingeni eliphezulu azokhula kusukela ezingeni lamanje elingu-2.8 million t kuya ku-25 million t ngonyaka ka-2050. Kusho ukuthi isidingo kulindeleke ukuthi sikhuphuke ngo-6% ACGR kuze kube ngu-2050, lapho imikhiqizo yamazambane aqandisiwe izoba ne-ACGR ephezulu kakhulu (11.6%) ilandelwe ama-flakes/impuphu yamazambane (7.6%) kanye nama-potato chips (4.5%). Ngokufanayo, isidingo sokudla samazambane amasha sizokhula kusukela ku-30 ​​million t yamanje kuya ku-78 million t phakathi no-2050 ku-ACGR engu-2.34%. Isidingo samazambane ambewu sizokhula cishe izikhathi ezingu-2.1 ngonyaka ka-2050, ngakho-ke, imizamo ehlangene kakhulu idinga ukuqondiswa ekuhlinzekeni amazambane ambewu asezingeni eliphezulu kubo bonke abalimi ngamanani akhokhelwayo.

Umbhalo othi 'CPRI Vision 2050' wethula ukuhlaziywa okuphelele kwemingcele nezinselele endleleni yokuhlangabezana nemigomo yethu yesikhathi esizayo. Lo mbhalo uqukethe isu eliningiliziwe lokunqoba lezi zinselele nokunciphisa imingcele. Ukuhlaziywa kwamandla, ukulungela kanye nesiko lomsebenzi lesikhungo kungenza ngiqiniseke ngokugcwele ukuthi lesi sikhungo ngeke sihlangabezane nalokhu okulindelwe kuphela kodwa sizobeka amazinga amasha omhlaba.

Sibonga kakhulu uDkt. S. Ayyappan, uMqondisi Jikelele we-ICAR kanye noNobhala, i-DARE, kanye noDkt. NK Krishna Kumar, iPhini likaMqondisi Jikelele (iSayensi Yezolimo) ngokubona ukubaluleka kohlelo locwaningo lwesikhathi eside nokusikhuthaza ukuthi siveze 'uMbono we-CPRI ka-2050'. Ngimbonga ngobuqotho uDkt. T. Janaki Ram, uMsizi woMqondisi Jikelele (iSayensi Yezolimo), ngokuzibandakanya kwakhe njalo enqubweni yokuthuthukisa lo mbhalo woMbono. Imibono neziphakamiso ezibalulekile zikaSihlalo we-RAC we-CPRI uDkt. GL Kaul zisisizile ukuthuthukisa uMbono-2050 kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngingathanda ukuqopha phansi imizamo eqotho kaDkt. Rajesh K Rana, uSosayensi Oyinhloko, iDivision of Social Sciences, uDkt. PM Govindakrishnan, uMxhumanisi Wephrojekthi, i-AICRP (amazambane) kanye noDkt. VK Dua ngokunikeza imibono yesayensi ukuze lo mbhalo ube nesimo sawo samanje. Indima yeseli le-PME eliphethe, uDkt. Brajesh Singh ekuhlinzekeni okuqukethwe kulo mbhalo kubo bonke abathintekayo iyaqashelwa ngokufanele. Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi lo mbhalo uzosebenza njengesibani sokuhlinzeka ngesinyathelo esicacile ukuze kuqhutshekwe nocwaningo lwezambane kanye nemisebenzi yokuthuthukisa eNdiya.
