Agriculture Diversification in India

Pankaj Kumar

Abstract :

Various developing countries like India are shifting from traditional subsistence agriculture to commercial agriculture. Agriculture diversification in India play a vital role in diversifying and commercializing agriculture, adding value to agricultural produce, generate employment, enhance income of farmers, and create surplus for export of processed products. The result shows that consumption patterns are changing towards high value agricultural commodities from traditional agriculture and this is driving the process of agricultural diversification in India. The share of high value agriculture is increasing in the total value of agricultural output and exports. These commodities are the potential sources of future income. There is a need to suitable integrate production and marketing of high value commodities through appropriate institutions. Market reform in institutions through required legal changes would go a way in boosting agricultural growth and promoting exports.
