The document discusses strategies for doubling farmers' income in India by 2022. It notes that past strategies focused on increasing agricultural output but did not explicitly aim to raise farmers' incomes. Key sources of growth identified to meet the 10.4% annual growth target include improving productivity, diversifying crops, increasing processing levels, and strengthening market linkages. Various central government schemes are outlined that aim to boost production, post-harvest management, marketing, food processing, and provide training and financing support to help achieve the goal of doubling farmers' incomes.

The agriculture sector continues to be the backbone of the Indian economy with around 50 per cent of population earning its livelihood from it. Contributing significantly to inclusive growth, the sector plays a vital role in India’s development journey. Despite this, agriculture is plagued by multifarious challenges. Some of the problems relate to the stagnation of yields, rising input costs, un-remunerative prices to farmers, among others. Hence it is pivotal that a turnaround is scripted in the agriculture sector which will be crucial for achieving inclusive growth. In this context, the distinctive and revolutionary vision enunciated by the Prime Minister of doubling farmer incomes by 2022 is undoubtedly praiseworthy and provides a remarkable opportunity to take the performance of Indian agriculture to a new level.
In the current issue of Economy Matters, the Focus of the Month is on “Reforming Agriculture Sector”. In Domestic Trends, we present an Economy Overview along with analysis of the latest data on Monsoon progress, IIP, Inflation, Monetary policy & Trade performance. In Policy Focus, the highlights of the key policies announced by the Government/RBI during July-August 2017. Global growth prospects and US fed policy stance is covered in Global Trends.
It gives an outlook to the position of Indian farmers and indian agriculture . It provides an idea about the measures that can be adopted in order to double thefarmers' income by 2022.

India is considered as one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Agriculture is the mother of any economy, whether it is rich or poor. Much of its influence is on the other sectors of economy - industry and service. India is the second largest in farm output. Hence, India’s economic security continues to be predicated upon the agriculture sector, and the situation is not likely to change in the near future. Even today, the share of agriculture in employment is about 49% of the population, as against around 75% at the time of independence. In the same period, the contribution of agriculture and allied sector to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has fallen from 61% to 17% in 2015-16. Around 51% of India’s geographical area is already under cultivation as compared to 11% of the world average. China with lesser cultivable land produces double the food grains, i.e. 607 million tons in 2015 -16 as compared with India’s 252 million tons in 2015-16. The present cropping intensity of 136% has registered an increase of only 25% since independence. Further, rain fed dry lands constitute 65% of the total net sown area. There is also an unprecedented degradation of land (107 million ha) and groundwater resource, and also fall in the rate of growth of total factor productivity. This deceleration needs to be arrested and agricultural productivity has to be doubled to meet growing demands of the population by 2050. Natural resource base of agriculture, which provides for sustainable production, is shrinking and degrading, and is adversely affecting production capacity of the ecosystem. However, demand for agriculture is rising rapidly with increase in population and per capita income and growing demand from industry sector. There is, thus, an urgent need to identify severity of problem confronting agriculture sector to restore its vitality and put it back on higher growth trajectory. The problems, however, are surmountable, particularly when new tools of science and technology have started offering tremendous opportunities for application in agriculture. However, the country recorded impressive achievements in agriculture during three decades since the onset of green revolution in late sixties. This enabled the country to overcome widespread hunger and starvation; achieve self-sufficiency in food; reduce poverty and bring economic transformation in millions of rural families. The situation, however, started turning adverse for the sector around mid-nineties, with slowdown in growth rate of output, which then resulted in stagnation or even decline in farmers’ income leading to agrarian distress, which is spreading and turning more and more serious. This Paper attempts to focus attention on Issues, Challenges and Government policies of Indian Agriculture in the context of Globalization.

Effects of Rice Liberalization Law on Rice Production, Farmers’ Wages and Gov...IJAEMSJORNAL
This article estimated the effect of Rice Liberalization Law on rice production, farmers' wages, and government budgets in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. The quantitative research design was utilized in this study using the time series data. The results found out that the government budget has a significant role and a positive effect on Philippine rice productions. Finding also suggests that low rice production affects farmers’ wages and income, tantamount to a high price of rice due to the demand and leads to high rice importation. Therefore,it is necessary to increase rice production at a lower cost that will give a positive effect on farmers ' wages and rice market prices. This could result in enticing the younger generation or unemployed citizens to be engaged in farming that will eventually result in to increase in rice production.

2. Backdrop
Past strategy: for development of the agriculture sector in India
focused primarily on raising agricultural output
improving food and nutrition security.
did not explicitly recognise the need to raise farmers' income and
did not mention any direct measure to promote farmers' welfare.
Strategy involved
increase in productivity through better technology and varieties
subsidies on farm inputs;
public investments in and for agriculture; and
facilitating institutions.
Key Findings : 45 per cent increase in per person food production : Last 50 years – food
production multiplied by 3.7 times.
made India food self-sufficient at aggregate level
also a net food exporting country.
Farmers' income remained low in relation to income of those working in the non-farm
sector.
(SOURCE : NITI AYOG)
3. Impact of low level of farmers’ income
• Low level of farmers’ income and disparity between
income of a farmer and non-agriculture work.
• Agrarian distress and sharp increase in number of farmers
suicides (1995-2004) due to:
o Losses from farming
o Shocks in farm income
o Low farm income
• Government constituted “National Commission of
farmers”
• 5 reports & “Draft National Policy for farmers”.
• “Success in agricultural progress should be measured by the growth
of farmers incomes and not just by production figures”.
4. Doubling of Farmers’ Income
“I wish to double the income of farmers by 2022 when
India will celebrate 75 years of its Independence”
Prime Minister
while addressing farmers rally
at Bareilly (Feb 28, 2016)
Budget 2016-17
“We are grateful to our farmers for being the backbone
of the country’s food security. We need to think
beyond food security and give back to our farmers a
sense of income security. Government will, therefore,
reorient its interventions in the farm and non-farm
sectors to double the income of the farmers by 2022.”
Finance Minister Budget Speech, February 29,2016.
5. Sources of Growth in Farmers' Income
10.4% annual growth rate required
on-going and previously achieved rate of growth in
farm income needs acceleration.
Major sources of growth:
improvement in productivity,
resource use efficiency or Total Factor Productivity,
saving in cost of production
increase in cropping intensity,
diversification towards high value crops,

7. Production Centric
Need to raise output through concerted efforts on increasing productivity,
TFP, input management, resource conservation
Major contributors
Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana;
Soil health card, Neem Coated Urea
Prampragat Krishi Vikas Yojana.
Integrated farming systems important
Like paddy-cum-fish culture in eastern India and NE
Investment and subsidies in few technologies like poly-houses may help
multiply the returns
Need for Risk Mitigation: insurance against crop and income loss
Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana
Role of ICAR and SAUs crucial
8. Post-harvest Management Centric
Need for suitable strategies for reducing post
harvest management to reduce crop losses
Required value addition and processing
States like MP established processing units in
the major producing clusters
9. Marketing Related
Essential to ensure whether the increased
production is converted to money?
Need for integrated and value chain approach
e-NAM would prove to be game changer
Market linkages and reforms essential
Price uncertainty needs to be given due priority
Effective procurement strategies like UP
Estimation of regional, national and
international demand to avoid the glut situations
preventing the situation of price crash

15. overview
India has arable land of 184 million hectares and produces
annually 90 million tonnes of milk
150 million tonnes of fruits and vegetables
485 million livestock, 204 million tonnes food grain
6.3 million tonnes fish, 489 million poultry and 45,200 million
eggs
processing level is very low i.e. around 2.20% in fruits and
vegetables, 35% in milk, 21% in meat and 6% in poultry products
India's share of processed food is about 1.6%.
Hence, there is immense potential for growth
in this sector.
16. Types of Food Processing
Fruits and Vegetable Processing
The capacity of fruits and vegetables processing increased from 1.1million tons in 1993
to 2.1 million tons in 2006.
Meat and Meat Processing
Present processing level of buffalo meat is estimated at 21 %, poultry 6 %, and marine
products 8 %.
Dairy Processing

In a short time span of 7 years, we need to find alternative to transgenic needs to be found.
Policies affect farmers' income in a large number of ways. Particular attention needs to be paid to various types of reforms needed in agriculture sector.
While reforms progressed in other sector of economy, absence of reforms in agriculture post 1991, resulted in lack of growth in agriculture.
