Advantage India
Indias agricultural policy focuses on food selfsufficiency, remunerative prices for farmers, and maintenance of stable prices for consumers. These goals are met by a number of measures such as minimum support prices, food subsidies for consumers, regulated markets, input subsidies for producers, and international trade policy. Since independence, the government has focused on the sector through five-year plans, and the public sector outlay in the sector as per the Eleventh Five Year Plan is US$ 29.6 billion (INR 1,363.8 billion).
India has diverse geographic features such as climate, soil, availability of water, and biodiversity due to its vast area. In 2008, arable land in India was 159 million hectares, second only to the US. In 2008, India was the second-largest producer of wheat and rice in the world, and the largest producer of pulses in the world.
Advantage India
In 2008, India was ranked second in terms of people involved in agriculture and allied activities, with approximately 583 million people involved in agriculture. Although, the share of agriculture and allied activities in GDP is estimated at 14.6 per cent, the sector is the source of livelihood for more than 50 per cent of the Indian population.

Post-independence: This era was characterised by low agricultural productivity and starvation across the country. In 195051, food grain production was 50.8 MT, and the yield of food grains was 522 kg/ha.
Economic reforms: The country's import and export policies are aimed at enhancing export capabilities of the sector by focusing on productivity, promoting modernisation, and competitiveness. Since 199091, Indias exports have increased approximately 12.9 times to reach US$ 18.7 billion in 200809.

Over the 50-year period, i.e. , from 195051 to 200001, food grain production in India has increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 2.7 per cent, to reach 196.8 million tonnes (MT) in 200001. The increase in food grain production is largely attributed to the Green Revolution, which took place in the 1960s and 1970s. Agri-inputs, such as fertilisers, high-yielding varieties (HYV) of crops, pesticides, surface irrigation, and mechanised farming were primarily responsible for the increase in agricultural productivity.

During the Green Revolution, the Indian Council for Agricultural Research developed new strains of HYV seeds, and focused mainly on wheat and rice. The Seeds Act, 1966 and the New Policy on Seeds Development, 1988, form the basis of promotion and regulation of the Indian seed industry.The objectives of the National Seeds Policy, is to create an appropriate climate for the seed industry, safeguard the interests of Indian farmers, and the conservation of agro biodiversity.

Investments (1/4)
The sector has transformed from agriculture to agribusiness, providing value to each stakeholder in the farm to fork value chain.

India has pursued a policy to attain food self-sufficiency, with a focus on expanding cultivated and irrigated areas, implementing land reforms, adopting HYV crops, promoting increased use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides, and restructuring rural credit institutions, and community development. In 2000, the government announced its first comprehensive agricultural policy statement the National Agricultural Policy (NAP). The NAP aims to achieve an annual growth rate of 4 per cent in the agricultural sector by 2020.

Currently, Indias agricultural policy focuses on food self-sufficiency, remunerative prices for farmers, and maintaining stable prices for consumers. These goals are met by a number of instruments such as minimum support prices (MSP), food subsidies for consumers, regulated markets, input subsidies for producers, and international trade policy. Since independence, the country has focused on the agricultural sector, through five year plans. The governments Eleventh Five Year Plan (20072012), focuses on inclusive growth, and rests upon substantial increase in public sector outlay. In the Eleventh Plan, the public sector outlay towards agriculture and allied activities stands at US$ 29.6 billion (INR 1,363.8 billion).

The demand-supply gap for food in India shows that in the short to medium term, supply will meet demand requirements; from 2021 demand will outstrip supply for cereals, pulses, edible oil and sugar. Food commodity prices are likely to be high and volatile for the next 10 15 years. India needs a pulses revolution in order to meet the increasing demand.

Opportunities (2/3)
Demand-side growth along with government initiatives expected to help India become a leading agro country
India ranks among the fastest-growing global economies and is the worlds converging point of focus amidst narrowing boundaries and well-connected international regions. The massive agrarian employment base in Indias rural population is directly responsible for driving such unsurpassed growth dynamics. The Indian population is projected to reach approximately 1.6 billion in 2050, thereby creating a huge domestic demand for agricultural products. The various policies and growth initiatives of the Government of India are expected to further boost growth in this sector. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Food and Agriculture Organization, India is estimated to account for 12.1 per cent and 21.8 per cent of the worlds wheat and rice production, respectively by 2015.

Opportunities (3/3)
Agricultural inputs expected to grow due to increased production levels
With the production levels expected to grow, agricultural input such as fertilisers, farm equipment and machinery, irrigation facilities, institutional credit, and research and development are expected to be driven towards a higher target. These inputs are an essential part of the agribusiness, and provide opportunities across different levels in the agriculture value chain.
Agriculture is expected to be a point of focus for the private sector in India, as a number of private players are expected to venture into organic farming, contract farming, and setting up hubs for the procurement of farm produce.
Increased corporate investment in this sector is expected to offer a new frontier of growth across many areas such as economies of scale through advanced models of farming, effective distribution systems and food security.
Increased private equity (PE) investment in the food processing and agri-based companies is also expected to boost further employment in this sector. PE players have invested US$ 300 million in these companies during JanuaryJune 2010.
