Abstract

Indian agricultural growth has been impressive and cited as a global success story, which transformed from a food deficit to food surplus, subsistence to commercial and from an import-oriented to export-surplus economy. India today ranks second in the world in agricultural production as the leading producer of food grains, cotton, horticulture, dairy and poultry, aquaculture, and spices. Over the three decades from the 1970s until the year 2001, India’s agricultural GDP rose from $25 billion to $101 billion, witnessing an absolute growth of $76 billion. However, during the next 16 years from 2001 to 2017, it leapfrogged from $101 billion to $401 billion, registering a stupendous growth of $300 billion. India’s global trade in agriculture also fetches higher revenue for the country than the services and the manufacturing sectors. The growth in Indian agriculture over the last 16 years was 350% higher than the one achieved in the erstwhile period of 30 years
