Narendra Modi wants to increase agricultural support price to guarantee 50% profits to farmers


In a recent election speech BJP's prime ministerial nominee, Narendra Modi, promised farmers an assured profit of 50% by tweaking agricultural support price policy. The support price sets a floor at which the government is willing to buy all the quantity offered and covers a variety of crops. However, a big gap between stated policy and ground reality has resulted in support price policy helping large farmers in a handful of states growing wheat and paddy. Modi's idea will further distort a lopsided agricultural policy and send food inflation galloping. Elevated inflation, driven by escalating food prices, has been India's most serious macroeconomic challenge over the last five years. Implementation of Modi's idea will exacerbate the problem. India's agricultural price support policy has evolved into a mechanism that has largely helped farmers in northwest India and a few more states. Patchy ground presence of procurement agencies has meant that support price policy's benefits are limited.

The world record yield for paddy rice production is not held by an agricultural research station or by a large-scale farmer from the United States, but by Sumant Kumar who has a farm of just two hectares in Darveshpura village in the state of Bihar in Northern India. His record yield of 22.4 tons per hectare, from a one-acre plot, was achieved with what is known as the System of Rice Intensification (SRI). To put his achievement in perspective, the average paddy yield worldwide is about 4 tons per hectare. Even with the use of fertilizer, average yields are usually not more than 8 tons.


Sumant Kumar’s success was not a fluke. Four of his neighbors, using SRI methods, and all for the first time, matched or exceeded the previous world record from China, 19 tons per hectare. Moreover, they used only modest amounts of inorganic fertilizer and did not need chemical crop protection.


Using SRI methods, smallholding farmers in many countries are starting to get higher yields and greater productivity from their land, labor, seeds, water and capital, with their crops showing more resilience to the hazards of climate change (Thakur et al 2009; Zhao et al 2009).
