The Agricultural Economy

Yoginder Alagh

Chapter Chapter 3 in Economic Policy in a Liberalising Economy, 2018, pp 21-61 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter documents our approach to the development of India’s agricultural economy. It is a fascinating story of moving from shortages and a fixation for grain in the ship to mouth period to diversification and policy reform in a WTO trade dominated economy. It is a story of average growth, many policy experiments and persistence of poverty and regional inequality in the face of considerable technological strengths and a hard working peasantry exploited through the millennia.
