Doubling of farmers’ income: Push to agri-R&D holds the key

January 13, 2018


India’s The Financial Express published a news story on how the country can double farmers’ incomes.

The transformation of India from food deficiency to self-sufficiency and from a net importer to a net exporter of agricultural commodities are notable. The article highlights these successes, but also examines the trend of a deceleration in the rate of productivity growth, as well as technology fatigue. Coauthor, Anjani Kumar suggests that adequate investments in agircultural R&D are the key to continued gains and are crucial to fulfil government’s commitment to raise farmers’ income and overcome the agrarian crisis.
