Agriculture, Food Processing & Rural Economy

Agriculture remains the backbone of India's economy, employing over 45% of the workforce and contributing approximately 18% to GDP; it is governed primarily by the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare, Ministry of Food Processing Industries, and Ministry of Rural Development. Policy direction is focused on doubling farmers' income, expanding food processing capacity under the PLI scheme, and strengthening rural infrastructure through PM-KISAN, PMGSY, and MGNREGS. The sector is undergoing a digital transformation via AgriStack and e-NAM while pursuing value-chain integration to reduce post-harvest losses.
