3) To increase the productivity of principal crops
Average size of land holding is declining
No of operational holding increasing
4) Promote cooperative farming
40
 India incurs post harvest losses of worth Rs. 2 trillions of fruits and vegetable wastage
annually. (Economic Times, Sept.1,2014)
 Value addition in food in India is only seven percent as against 23% in China, 45% in
Philippines and 168% in U.K. ( Agricultural Marketing in India- Acharya & Agarwal)
5) To minimize loss - strengthen the Agro- processing & Cold storage.
Japan has rejected more than ten consignments of Shrimps exported from India
( August, 2012)
USA had rejected Indian Mango Consignments in past- Stone weevil
 Russia has warned of stringent action, including a ban on import of potatoes from India, due
to violation of their quality norms. (June 17, 2014 – Business Standard )
England has rejected Alphanso mangoes from India on inferior quality ground. (June, 2014)
6) Production of quality food on par with international standards
7) Increasing competition from new players in global market,
By the end of this century, global earth temperature is likely to increase by1.8º to 4.0°C.
- IPCC
8) Climate change
41
10) Consumer demands for food with particular attributes ( organic, eco-friendly, hygienic)
11) Promoting sustainable challenges.
12) Maintenance of ecological balance,
13) Soil and water conservation and conservation of biodiversity,
9)Diminishing availability of natural resources for agricultural production,
16) Development of Ethically sound GM crops.

Suggestions to overcome future Challenges
Conclusion
 Albeit various factors affecting agriculture (Gross cropped area, input usage, credit
availability etc) have registered a smooth growth as compared to the past and they
have resulted in growth in agricultural production and productivity but the average
annual rate of growth is declining.
 There is overall increasing trend in all the factors except the monsoon, which has
shown declining trend.
 The performance of agricultural sector is not so good as its contribution to national
GDP as well as total national export is declining.
 The performance of agricultural sector is the issue to be circumspect and to workout
the new plan to enhance it.
 Though the challenges to the agricultural sectors are many, but they can be
overcome and resolved by developing appropriate strategy and implementing them.
