Agricultural Policy

Government initiatives are reshaping India's agricultural landscape, prioritizing farmer income and export growth. Recent approvals include increased Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for 14 Kharif crops, ensuring a 1.5x cost of production with substantial margins for key commodities like moong and tur. Simultaneously, the government is focusing on bolstering horticulture through events like Fruit Horizon 2026 and establishing export-oriented clusters, particularly in Uttar Pradesh, aiming to make India a leading fruit exporter. These developments, alongside regional conferences reviewing agricultural scheme progress and ICAR's focus on productivity and integrated farming, signal a concerted effort to modernize and enhance the resilience of the agricultural sector.
