A perspective on agricultural and trade
issues of India ….
Indian Agriculture – An Overview…
Challenges facing Indian agriculture &
Syngenta’s contribution…
March 6, 2014
Some facts….
By 2050 global
population will rise to 9
billion….out of which 1.7
billionwill be in India
alone
Total calorie
requirement will go
up from 2495 to
3000
Food grain production
would need to increase
by 5.5 MT annually
Demand for high-value food commodities will
go up by > 100% due to migration of
people into cities, increased wealth, shift
towards diets rich in protein
Currently..
52% of our population is involved in
Agriculture....
yet it contributes just 13.7% to India’s GDP

Arable Land (ha) per person
Most populous countries have
least room to expand
Produce more with less…
Land | Water | Labor
Growing resource constraints
• Much of India’s total arable area already in use (46%)
• Most remaining land has serious soil and terrain constraints
There is also the problem of….
Decreasing size of landholding
86% growers in
India are
smallholders
They cultivate 44% of
the land and
contribute 50% to
farm output
Landholding declined
from 2.30ha in the
70s to <1.16 ha
Average size would be
a mere 0.68 ha in
2020 and 0.32 ha in
2030
And the degradation of the production
environment….
Soil erosion has degraded 120.72
million ha of land in India
8.4 million ha has soil salinity and
water-logging
Water-table & water quality
deteriorating
Green-revolution belt exhibiting
problems owing to over-exploitation
and mismanagement of soil-and-water
resources

Growing resource constraints
Agriculture is India’s
largest user of
water
>40% lost to
inefficient practices
Nearly 50%
agricultural land is
rain-fed

Indian Agriculture
• India agriculture has an extensive background which goes back to 10
thousand years. At present, in terms of agricultural production, the
country holds the second position all over the world.
• Indian Agriculture has made rapid strides since independence;
– From food shortages and import
to self-sufficiency and exports.
– From subsistence farming
to intensive and technology led cultivation.
– Today , India is the front ranking
producer of many crops in the world.
– Ushered in through the
green, white, blue and yellow revolutions

Indian Agriculture – Strong regional variations in yield
● STRENGTHS
- Rich Bio-diversity
- Arable land
- Climate
- Strong and well dispersed research
and extension system
● OPPORTUNITIES
- Bridgeable yield crops
- Exports
- Agro-based Industry
- Horticulture
- Untapped potential in the North
Eastern part of India
● WEAKNESS
- Fragmentation of land
- Low Technology Inputs
- Unsustainable Water Management
- Poor Infrastructure
- Low value addition
● THREATS
- Unsustainable Resource Use
- Unsustainable Regional
Development
- Imports
- small and shrinking holding size
(1.16 ha in 2010-11);
- climate variability...high risk.
Indian Agriculture – Present Scenario (SWOT)
But the future is safe and optimistic for the next decade and more

GroMore – Summary of “ Grower feedback”
• Nursery in beds
is meaningful
• Line transplantation
helped in aeration
of crop hence less
pests/Disease
& Agri.ops are easy
• Reduced Fertilizer
inputs
• Actara drench gives
lush-green-healthy
seedlings.
• One line off is good
• Thionutri at 15 DAT
gives more tillers
• Not only preached but
practiced too.
• GroMore Plot is like
garden – Everyone
stops to see.
• Liako prophylactic
is unique.
• Fellow farmers who
made fun of us are
now appreciating.
• More hills/Sq. Meter
will yield more.
• Uniform crop
emergence/tillering.
• Had to spend
Rs.800 on manual
weeding in my plot
• The only company
having complete
solution.

GroMore is a dream harvest for farmers !!
Early Harvesting - GroMore harvesting is early by 15 days , means
will be able to advance sowing of Rabi crop for a better harvest .
Better Output Price – because of better quality GroMore crop
fetching min 22 $ /MT means 9% higher than farmer practice
GroMore Practice Farmer Practice 1st GroMore harvest in market
Observe the grain color
