Agricultural Sector of Indian Economy


India's economy the most important part of India's agricultural world. In India, the agricultural working class, the only means left about two thirds. Financial year 2006-07 as economic data, it was stated that 18 percent agriculture, India's Gross Domestic Product was 43 percent, about India's geographical area to capture.


Agricultural sector remains the largest contribution, and only India's gross domestic product declined, and even after agriculture in India. In agriculture, the economic sector plays an important role in social development in India.


For the first time India's economy, agriculture, continuous coverage, India's food production, he had himself so dependent on imported food for. Adequate reserves for the same country,. India's agricultural sector depends to a great extent, especially in the food crisis in food production units, in 1960. India and India is not enough, a lot of effort in food production since the green revolution led this effort. Green Revolution, aimed to improving agriculture in India is reflected will begin.


Green Revolution for India's agricultural economy as follows:


  • To achieve these objectives in the agricultural sector

  • Irrigation facilities, extension

  • And more advanced, more high-quality seeds, crop use

  • Better technology, found Agricultural Research

  • Execute Water management

  • Plan fertilizer, pesticide safety activities through rational use, crop application


Green Revolution wheat and rice all production in India, agricultural measures taken by a worrisome increase. Wheat and rice cultivation in India, the pulse of a country development plan, about 13 countries in 1986 saw a jump in manufacturing unit, keep in mind the target of covering the amount of technology for farmers to improve. A Technology Mission in 1986, once the national development plan launched by the Indian economy after the success of Pulse oil sector's progress. Beans are covered under the scheme. A new seed policy and better quality seeds, fruits, vegetables, oilseeds, plant material as the original plan identifies pulses and flowers.


Provincial Food Processing Industries, Government of India and to establish and promote the agricultural economy more attractive. India's agricultural sector very heavy rainfall during the monsoon season, by time, a good crop. But this year the weather can not depend on agriculture could be. Account for the fact that a second Green Revolution to restore the ban is expected to form. Growth rate and better management of irrigation water increased, the soil quality and high value products, fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, medicinal plants and development of a wide range of bio-diesel in the list of services, India The Green Revolution in agriculture reform is determined by improvement.

  1. India's agriculture is composed of many crops, with the foremost food staples being rice and wheat. Indian farmers also grow pulses, potatoes, sugarcane, oilseeds, and such non-food items as cotton, tea, coffee, rubber, and jute (a glossy fiber used to make burlap and twine). India is a fisheries giant as well. A total catch of about 3 million metric tons annually ranks India among the world's top 10 fishing nations. Despite the overwhelming size of the agricultural sector, however, yields per hectare of crops in India are generally low compared to international standards. Improper water management is another problem affecting India's agriculture. At a time of increasing water shortages and environmental crises, for example, the rice crop in India is allocated disproportionately high amounts of water. One result of the inefficient use of water is that water tables in regions of rice cultivation, such as Punjab, are on the rise, while soil fertility is on the decline. Aggravating the agricultural situation is an ongoing Asian drought and inclement weather. Although during 2000-01 a monsoon with average rainfall had been expected, prospects of agricultural production during that period were not considered bright. This has partially been due to relatively unfavorable distribution of rainfall, leading to floods in certain parts of the country and droughts in some others.
    Indian Agriculture Details.
    Despite the fact that agriculture accounts for as much as a quarter of the Indian economy and employs an estimated 60 percent of the labor force, it is considered highly inefficient, wasteful, and incapable of solving the hunger and malnutrition problems. Despite progress in this area, these problems have continued to frustrate India for decades. It is estimated that as much as one-fifth of the total agricultural output is lost due to inefficiencies in harvesting, transport, and storage of government-subsidized crops.
