]]> India is a predominantly agrarian country with a large agricultural sector. Despite the share of agriculture in India’s GDP dwindling to around 15 percent, almost half of India’s population is employed in the agri-sector. India is home to the second-largest area of cultivable land in the world and is a major producer of a large number of agricultural products.

  • More than half of India’s population depend on rural incomes.
  • More than half of India’s population is found in rural areas.
  • Food security of the vast and fast-growing Indian population with rising disposable incomes depends on cultivation of cereals, fruits, vegetables, and milk.

The already large and rapidly growing population of India is slated to become the world’s largest in the not-so-distant future. This increase in the population will result in a huge demand for food. Given the dwindling acreages under agriculture, this demand can only be increased through higher agricultural productivity or by increasing food imports.
