INDIAN FARMERS IN DISTRESS
10 REASONS
ADAPTED FROM THE TIMES OF INDIA P.9 13 DECEMBER 2018
TD 602
AUTUMN 2019
1. Two successive drought years – 2014, 15
Government has allocated
significant funds for the
sector
BUT
Slow implementation of
projects has not eased the
pain. Drought in
Maharashtra, Gujarat and
Karnataka have also added
to farmers’ woes. 2
2. Collapsing farm prices
3
• Low international price – exports
are hit
• Depression of domestic prices due
to imports
• Government delayed imposing
tariffs on imports
• Non realisation of remunerative
prices for farmers due to limitation
of MSP
• An agri marketing system that
delivers only a small fraction of the
final price to the actual farmer.
3. Failure of crop insurance scheme
4
• PMFBY launched in 2016 to
provide insurance and financial
support to farmers in the event of
failure of any crops due to natural
calamities, pests and diseases
• Also meant to stabilise the income
of farmers and ensure they remain
in farming
• Scheme has seen lower enrolments
due to a string of factors, including
high premiums and lack of
innovation by insurance firms. Source: Financial Express
4. Hiatus in irrigation projects
5
• Limited progress in the 99 large
irrigation projects under the INR
40,000 crore Long Term Irrigation
Fund of the centre launched
through NABARD
• Bureaucratic delays and slow
implementation by states, have
apparently hurt progress
Source: Down To Earth
5. Marketing is ignored
• Farm sector development ignored potential for marketing – NITI Aayog
• Archaic laws still in place
• Reforms to the APMC Act have been slow
• Combination of market regulations and infrastructure deficiencies leads to a
price depressing effect on the sector – OECD
• Experts suggest for a joint centre-state entity like the GST council to jointly
take decision
6
6. Missing modern technology
7
• No real technological
breakthrough in recent times –
NITI Aayog
• Tech in seeds, farm
implements could boost
productivity
Source: openpr.com
7. Fragmented supply chains
8Source: Mukul Sarkar, EXIM Bank (2007)
• Large gaps in storage, cold chains
• Limited connectivity
• Significant post-harvest losses of
fruits and vegetables: 4-16% of
total output
8. Lack of food processing clusters
9
Source:TheHinduBusinessLine(2017)
• Lack of clusters implies little incentive for
farm diversification
• Share of high value sectors (fruit, vegetable
and meat) are low (5% and 8% of total value
of output) in food processing
• Cereal based and oilseeds occupy 21% and
18% respectively
9. Delayed FCI reforms
10
• Handover procurement of rice and wheat
to states with sufficient experience and
infrastructure
• Give direct cash subsidy to farmers
(@INR7000/ha) and deregulate fertilizer
sector
• These and other recommendations of a
govt. appointed panel went into deaf ears Source: The Hindu
10. Low productivity
11
• Operational holding in India
• 85% - < 2 ha and constitutes 45% of total cropped
area
• 5% - > 4 ha
• Productivity lags behind countries like China, Thailand,
Vietnam
• Wheat – Rice yields ~ 1/3rd the global highest
• Mango, Onion, Banana, Potato - ~ ½ to 1/7th the global
highest
