The Indian agricultural sector performed well but requires reorientation: Ecological Survey
Indian agriculture has performed well, but the sector requires "re-orientation" in the face of certain challenges such as the adverse effects of climate change, rising input costs, and so on, according to the Economic Survey for 2022-23, which was tabled in Parliament on Tuesday. Other challenges include land fragmentation, suboptimal farm mechanization, low productivity, disguised unemployment, rising input costs, and so on. "While Indian agriculture has performed well, the sector requires re-orientation in the face of certain challenges...," the report stated. The Survey stated that the performance of the agriculture sector remains critical to the country's growth and employment and that investment in the sector must be encouraged through an affordable, timely, and inclusive approach to credit delivery. It should be noted that the agriculture sector employs more than 75% of rural female workers. This implies a need to upskill and employ women in agricultural-related industries such as food processing.
