Agriculture problems and issues

Over last 5 decades india made impressive progress in agriculture & allied lines:

1 green revolution making grains shortage to surplus despite rising population from 45 crores to 138 crores

2 white revolution giving big raise to animal husbandry and yield becoming No. two producer।cattle breed have significantly improved like karan swiss cows and murrah buffaloes

3 Blue revolution leading to rise in fisheries and allied trades

4 irrigation and micro irrigation network

5 Modified and hybrid seeds of grains vegetable and fruit with high yield per hectare

6 farming mechanisation

7 network of fertiliser plants in both public and private sector

8 cattle feed and poultry feed development

9 processed food plants 

But we could not come upto to requirement below

1 cooperative farming model , consolidating land for better productivity

2 expanding irrigation network.

we still depend on rains significantly

3 developing own seeds of various items

4 setting up a 'pick and market' reliable system

5 ensure per acre minimum farm income

6 badly managed pds system and procurement

7 hoarding /speculation

8 un organised middle men market

9 cold chain and transportation

10 putting cap on farm to retail price margins.

11 wastage of grains and vegetables

3 new acts offer no solutions but will worsen it

Privatisation is no solution for such a big and poorer country.

Food security will be threatened.

Farming and many inputs are already Private.

Only hoarding and prices will go up
