Suyash Anand

Abstract :

Uttar Pradesh has emerged as biggest contributor to India’s agriculture and allied sector as of 2013–14 with a share of about 13%, according to a recent ASSOCHAM study. “Agriculture and allied sector contributes just over 22% to UP’s gross state domestic product (GSDP) as of 2013–14,” highlighted the study titled ‘States Emergence: A comparative analysis of growth & development,’ conducted by The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM).

“UP has acquired 15th position amid top 20 states in India with a mere 3.2 per cent compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) in agriculture and allied sector during the decadal period of 2004–05 and 2013–14,” noted the study prepared by the ASSOCHAM Economic Research Bureau (AERB).“UP government needs to take corrective measures to revive agriculture production as it is chiefly an agrarian state and holds tremendous potential to attract significant investments in agri–infrastructure like wholesale and retail trading, storage, distribution and irrigation sectors.”
