Does the budget give the agriculture sector a boost? (Hindu Business Line) 

February 16, 2023


Hindu Business Line (India) published an op-ed by IFPRI’s Anjani Kumar and Himanshu Pathak, who discuss India’s 2023/24 Budget allocations related to agriculture. In Budget 2023-24, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman highlighted seven priority areas for inclusive development such as inclusive development, green growth, and youth power. Agriculture and allied sectors were marked as efficient vehicles for inclusive development, particularly in animal husbandry, dairy, and fisheries, setting up digital infrastructure for agriculture as an open-source public good, and the production of millet. Yet, although the Budget includes several proposals to propel agricultural growth, “it does not provide the structural shift that can move the sector onto a path of long-term, sustainable growth.”
