“Agricultural sector appears to be adversely affected by the reform process” do you agree? Give reasons.

Answer»

Yes, Agricultural sector appears to be adversely affected by the reform process. The agricultural sector has not been able to be benefited by the reform process, rather the growth rate has decelerated. Public investment in agriculture sector has been reduced during the reform period. Further, the removal of fertilizer subsidy severely affected the mall and marginal farmers. 

Due to commencement of WTO a lot of policies have changed which have adversely affected the Indian farmers. Moreover, because of export oriented policy in agriculture, there has been a shift from production for the domestic market towards production for export market focusing on cash crops instead of food grains. This has resulted in the price rise of food grains. In short India’s agricultural sector is badly affected by the reform process.
