From land to infrastructure to finance and other logistics, the agriculture sector in the country faces several challenges. Despite ideal conditions, the average productivity of many crops is quite low. A major challenge is small land holdings, with approximately 85 per cent being marginal and small farm categories of less than two hectares. Low access to credit affects the decisions of farmers in the purchase of inputs and sale of outputs. Poor infrastructure for farming with high dependence on weather, marketing and supply chain for high-value crops is yet another challenge for the sector. Also, the use of technology and mechanisation is inadequate. Additionally, there is less value addition vis-à-vis developed countries and negligible primary-level processing at farmers’ level.
