ROLE OF
AGRICULTURE
SECTOR IN
INDIAN ECONOMY

Indian is an agriculture based country, where more than 50%
of population is depend on agriculture.
This structures the main source of income. The commitment
of agribusiness in the national income in India is all the more,
subsequently, it is said that agriculture in India is a backbone
for Indian Economy.
The contribution of agriculture in the initial two decades
towards the total national output is between 48% and 60%. In
the year 2001-2002, this contribution declined to just around
26%.
ROLE OF AGRICULTURE SECTOR IN INDIAN ECONOMY

The aggregate Share of Agriculture and Allied Sectors,
Including agribusiness, domesticated animals, and ranger service
and fishery sub segments as far as rate of GDP is 13.9 percent
during 2013- 14 at 2004-05 prices.
Agricultural exports constitute a fifth of the total exports of the
country.
In perspective of the overwhelming position of the Agricultural
Sector, gathering and support of Agricultural Statistics expect
incredible significance

We all know that the agriculture sector is the backbone
and crucial in our Indian economy which provides the basic
ingredients to mankind and providing raw material for rapid
industrialization sector development.
No doubt that the besides manufacturing sectors,
Agriculture sector provides great employment opportunities
for rural people/youth on a large scale for their livelihood
and also provides an entrepreneurship.

Which share in national income.
Provide raw materials to industries.
Market for industrial products.
The Indian economy is estimated to register a GDP growth rate
of 7.1 per cent in 2016-17.
The radical measures initiated in November 2016 in the form of
demonetization of Rs. 1000 and Rs. 500 currency notes, the
Indian economy is likely to experience a slowdown in the growth
rate in Agriculture and allied sectors.

REVOLUTION
IN
AGRICULTURE
SECTOR

Rainbow revolution means the ‘Food Chain Revolution’ to
put a check on destroying food grains, vegetables and fruits.
It is around development of all primary sector products.
RAINBOW REVOLUTION
1. Green revolution – Agriculture (food grains production)
2. White revolution – Milk
3. Blue revolution – Fish
4. Yellow revolution – Oilseeds
5. Golden Revolution- Fruits/apple
6. Black revolution – Petroleum
7. Silver revolution – eggs
8. Round revolution – potato
9. Red Revolution – Meats/Tomato
10. Grey revolution – Fertilizers
11.Pink revolution – Shrip
12.Brown Revolution - Leather

Green revolution means the tremendous hike in the agricultural
production and productivity during the mid of 1960’s. It is also
known as the New Agricultural Strategy comprises IADP, IAAP
and HYVP.
1. Intensive Agricultural District Programme (IADP) : The
objective of this programme was to increase the production of
food grains.
2. Intensive Agricultural Area Programme (IAAP) : Introduced in
1964-65 aims for the intensive development of major crops
such as wheat, paddy, millets, cotton , sugar cane, potato, pulse
etc.
3. High Yielding Varieties Programme (HYVP) was launched in
1966. Aims at the introduction of high yielding verities of
seeds.
GREEN REVOLUTION

1.Hike in agricultural production and productivity.
2. Increase in food production
3. Boost the production of cereals.
4. Fall in poverty.
5. More employment is created
6. More irrigational facilities developed.
7. More infrastructure is created.
8. More land is added to agriculture
9. Better distribution of land.
10. More reasearch on agriculture
IMPACT OF GREEN REVOLUTION
POSTIVE IMPACT

1. Increase in both inter-regional and intra-regional
inequalities.
2. Environmental degradation took place
3. Reduction in employment elasticity
4. Increase in personal inequality
5. Traditional knowledge was lost.
6. Ground water level down.
7. Health problems due to excess of mosquitoes
8. Irrigation of fields without proper drainage

Agribusiness is the business of agricultural production. It
includes agrichemicals, breeding , crop production (farming
and contract farming),farm machinery and seed supply, as
well as marketing and retail sales. All agents of the food and
fiber value chain and those institutions that influence it are
part of the agribusiness system.
AGRIBUSINESS

STEPS TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT

 Easy availability of capital or investment input
 Introducing the MSP policy
 Subsidy in using capital intensive technology
 Land reforms
 Institutional credit increased
 PDS & TPDS

 Agriculture Education
 Provide adequate diesel, electricity and water at subsidized rates
 Encourage crop rotation
 Multi crop farming
 Encourage cooperative farming
 Relaxed credit terms
IMPROVING THE SECTOR

If we look at the challenges faced by Indian agriculture, we can
broadly group them into two categories. One category belongs to
the problems that have been long standing. Second category of
problems is new and has been emerging from the prevailing
agricultural practices, system, changing climate and economy.
•Stagnation in Production of Major Crops:
Production of some of the major staple food crops like rice and
wheat has been stagnating for quite some time.
This is a situation which is worrying our agricultural scientists,
planners and policy makers.
f this trend continues, there would be a huge gap between the
demand of ever growing population and the production

•High cost of Farm Inputs:
Over the years rates of farm inputs have increased manifold.
Farm inputs include fertilizer, insecticide, pesticides, HYV
seeds, farm labour cost etc. Such an increase puts low and
medium land holding farmers at a disadvantage.
• Soil Exhaustion:
On one hand green revolution has played a positive role in
reducing hunger from India.
One of which is Soil exhaustion. Soil exhaustion means loss
of nutrients in the soil from farming the same cropoverand
overagain. This usually happens in the rain forest.

• Depletion of Fresh Ground Water:
The second major negative consequence of green revolution is
depletion of fresh ground water.
 You would remember that areas where green revolution was
successful, it was due to the use of chemical fertilizers and irrigation.
Most of the irrigation in dry areas of Punjab, Haryana and Western
Uttar Pradesh was carried out by excessive use of ground water.

•Agri machinery
India is the largest manufacturer of tractors in the world.
Power tillers are gaining popularity especially for lowland
flooded rice fields and hilly terrains.
Manually operated tools, animal-operated machines, and
mechanical - or electrical - operated machinery are some
examples, which are slowly increasing in demand.
Innovation and technology in the Indian agricultural
machinery industry can take the industry to greater heights,
keeping pricing in mind.
Opportunities to agriculture sector in india

•Cold chain sector
Due to India being an agricultural-based economy, wastage is
a concern and so the government with the help of U.S.
technology is developing the cold chain sector.
Therein lies an opportunity for those looking to invest in this
sector with improved storage and transportation techniques.

Poultry sector
There is high demand for poultry and this poses as a great
target for consumers due to their increasing income rates.
This sector prides itself in being one of the largest producers of
eggs and poultry meat.
Innovation and advancement by foreign companies can further
boost sector production and raise industry standards.
Opportunities to agriculture sector in india

•Food processing sector
 India has an abundant supply of food yet only a small
portion of these foods is processed. Nevertheless, this
industry is still one of the highest in the country.
Advanced methods of food processing are still to be
introduced into this country.
Though some top global players such as Nestle and
PepsiCo have presence in India, there is still huge potential
in the Indian food processing and packaging industry.
