Empowering Indian Farmers

Posted On: 07 JUN 2025 10:06AM

“Increasing the income of the farmers, reducing the cost of farming, providing modern facilities to the farmers from seed to market is the priority of our government.”

- Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Introduction

Agriculture is at the heart of India’s economy and culture, sustaining millions and shaping the nation’s identity. Over the past eleven years, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, India’s agricultural sector has undergone a profound transformation, rooted in the philosophy of Beej Se Bazaar Tak (seed to market).

This transformation champions inclusivity, supporting small farmers, women-led groups, and allied sectors, while making India a global agricultural leader. The farmer has become central to policy, with a proactive, technology-driven approach ensuring income security, sustainability, and resilience.

From modern irrigation and credit access to digital marketplaces and agri-tech innovations, India is embracing smart farming and reviving traditional practices like millet cultivation and natural farming. Allied sectors such as dairy and fisheries are also flourishing, driving rural prosperity and climate-smart agriculture.

Above all, the mindset has shifted, Farmers are now recognised as key stakeholders and drivers of India’s growth. As India enters Amrit Kaal, its empowered farmers stand ready to lead the nation from food security to global food leadership.

Enhanced Budget Allocation

Agriculture serves as the backbone of India's economy, playing a pivotal role in ensuring food security, providing employment, and contributing to overall economic development. It supports the livelihoods of a significant portion of the population and remains vital to India's socio-economic fabric. Recognizing its importance, the Government of India has implemented various initiatives and significantly increased budget allocations to strengthen the sector.

The Budget Estimates for the Department of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare have seen remarkable growth, rising from ₹27,663 crore in 2013–14 to ₹1,37,664.35 crore in 2024–25, an increase of nearly five times over the period.

This substantial increase in budget allocation has played a pivotal role in transforming the agricultural sector, enabling greater investment in infrastructure, modernization of farming practices, expansion of support schemes, and enhanced income security for farmers across the country.

Increased Food Grain Production

India’s foodgrain production grew steadily from 265.05 million tonnes in 2014–15 to an estimated 347.44 million tonnes in 2024–25, showing a strong rise in agricultural output.

The major crops include rice, wheat, jowar, bajra, maize, ragi, barley, gram, tur, pulses, groundnut, soybean, rapeseed & mustard, oilseeds, sugarcane, cotton, and jute & mesta.

Increase in MSP and Support for Farmers

During the period 2014-15 to 2024-25, procurement of 14 Kharif crops was 7871 LMT while during the period 2004-05 to 2013-14, procurement was 4679 LMT.

Wheat MSP Growth and Record Procurement

The MSP for wheat rose from ₹1,400 per quintal in 2013–14 to ₹2,425 per quintal in 2024–25, ensuring better returns for wheat growers. A total of ₹6.04 lakh crore has been disbursed as MSP payments for wheat during 2014–2024, a substantial rise compared to ₹2.2 lakh crore paid during 2004–2014.

Paddy MSP Growth and Record Procurement

The MSP for paddy increased from ₹1,310 per quintal in 2013–14 to ₹2,369 per quintal in 2025–26, benefiting millions of paddy farmers. During the period 2014-15 to 2024-25, procurement of paddy was 7608 LMT while during the period 2004-05 to 2013-14, procurement of paddy was 4590 LMT. During the period 2014-15 to 2024-25, MSP amount paid to Paddy growing famers was Rs. 14.16 Lakh Crore while during the period 2004-05 to 2013-14, amount paid to farmers was Rs. 4.44 Lakh Crore.

MSP for Grade-A paddy increased from ₹1,345 per quintal in 2013–14 to ₹2,389 per quintal in 2025–26

Pulses

Over the past eleven years, the government has brought a significant turnaround in the pulses sector. Previously marked by low cultivation, limited procurement, high import dependence, and elevated consumer prices, the sector now exhibits increased cultivation, substantial procurement driven by higher MSPs, reduced import reliance, and improved price stability for consumers.

Procurement of pulses at Minimum Support Price (MSP) witnessed a significant increase of 7,350%, rising from 1.52 lakh metric tonnes (LMT) during 2009–2014 to 82.98 LMT during 2020–2025.

Oilseeds procurement at MSP increased by over 1,500% in the last eleven years, reflecting the government's strong support for oilseed farmers.

Diversifying Farmer Incomes

In addition to agriculture, diversification helps farmers manage risks, reduce dependency on unpredictable factors, and improve their standard of living. The government is promoting allied activities like livestock, dairy, fisheries, and food processing, along with non-farm employment, to create multiple income sources. These efforts not only enhance rural livelihoods but also contribute to the broader goal of structural transformation and economic development in rural India.

Food Processing Sector: A Key Driver of Farmers' Income Growth

Over the past eleven years, the food processing sector has emerged as a powerful enabler of farmers’ income enhancement. By creating robust farm-to-market linkages, reducing post-harvest losses, and expanding value addition through modern processing infrastructure, the sector has increased the profitability of agricultural produce. Government initiatives, particularly under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana, have driven exponential growth in processing capacity and exports, while also generating substantial off-farm employment, further supporting rural livelihoods

Key Achievements Supporting Farmers’ Income:

Over 20-fold increase in food processing capacity: from 12 lakh metric tonnes (2013–14) to 242 lakh metric tonnes (2024–25), enabling greater value addition for farmers
Processed food exports nearly doubled: from USD 4.9 billion (2013–14) to USD 9.03 billion tonnes (2024–25), expanding markets for farm produce
Sector now contributes 12.41% of total employment in the organized manufacturing sector, offering alternative income sources for rural families

Blue Revolution

India is the second largest fish producing country with around 8% share in global fish production. Over the past two decades, India's fisheries sector has witnessed significant growth and transformation. From technological advancements to policy reforms, the period from 2014 to 2024 has been marked by milestones that have bolstered India's position in global fisheries and aquaculture. The Union Budget 2025-26, proposed the highest ever total annual budgetary support of Rs. 2,703.67 crores for the fisheries sector.

Ethanol Procurement

Boost to Farmer Income through Ethanol Blending Programme

The Government of India is implementing the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme to promote the use of alternative, eco-friendly fuels and reduce dependency on imported crude oil. Under this programme, Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) blend ethanol, produced mainly from sugarcane with petrol. The Government aims to achieve 20% ethanol blending in petrol by ESY 2025-26, advancing the original 2030 target. As of 28th February 2025, ethanol blending has reached 17.98%, progressing steadily from 10% achieved in June 2022. This initiative not only supports clean energy but also provides a steady income source to sugarcane farmers by creating sustained demand for ethanol. The increase in ethanol prices and separate payment of GST and transport charges further strengthen farmer earnings.

Key Achievements

Ethanol procurement rose from 38 crore litres in 2013–14 to 441crore litres in 2023–24.
Rs. 1,11,703 crores paid to sugarcane farmers in Sugar Season 2023–24.
