Indian Agriculture: 2013 was significant, foodgrains is likely to reach record level

The year 2013 has been significant for Indian agriculture. The production of foodgrains is likely to reach record level; in a year in which other economic parameters have not been too encouraging, agriculture growth is likely to surpass the target of 4%.


Public Investment in the farm sector has gone up and States are constantly being incentivized to come up with new schemes. Credit flow to the sector is increasing year after year.
