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….
Total calorie requirement will go up
from
2495 to 3000
Food grain production would need
to increase by
5.5 MT annually
By 2050 global
population will rise to 9
billion….out of which
1.7 billion will be
in India alone
Currently..
52% of our population is involved in
Agriculture....
yet it contributes just 13.7% to India’s
GDP
2
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
Growing resource constraints
Produce more with less…
Land | Water | Labor

There is also the problem of….
Decreasing size of landholding
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 1.32 ha in
2000-01
Average size would
be a mere 0.68 ha
in 2020 and 0.32
ha in 2030
86% growers

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 overexploitation and mismanagement
of soil-and-water resources

Growing resource constraints
Produce more with less…
Land | Water | Labor
Agriculture is India’s
largest user of
water
>40% lost to
inefficient practices
Nearly 50%
agricultural land is
rain-fed

Growing resource constraints

Land | Water | Labor
Farm demographics- aging
population and migration
to cities influence labor
availability
High-tech machines,
complex production
processes and strict
production regulations
require skilled labor

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

10 challenges faced by agriculture in India
● Small and fragmented land holdings
● Manures, Fertilizers and Biocides
● Shortage of good quality Seeds for poor peasants
● Problem of Irrigation
● Lack of mechanization
● Soil erosion
● Agricultural marketing
● Inadequate storage facilities
● Inadequate transport
● Scarcity of capital

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

GroMore – Summary of officials'’ feedback
I would like to thank
Syngenta rice team for
this kind of Unique
initiative in our
developing area of Rice.
Deputy commissioner Gurdaspur –
Dr. A Trikha IAS
By this unique story telling you are not only
doing verbal education of rice cultivation but
also demonstrating it in farmer fields….is
commendable .
Syngenta rice team team was recognized in
annual PAU Kissan expo.

Global Nuffield farming Scholars from Canada/Ireland/New-Zealand & Australia (Guests at
PAU Kisan Mela) have seen GroMore Rice Plots
“PAU & Syngenta have jointly taken a good
initiative with Rice project This will surely
enhance rice productivity. Farmer will surely get a
yield increase of 20-30%.”
Brenda Schlepp 2012 Scholar
Canadian Nuffield Agricultural Scholar
“Hopes of new revolution will come in future
with the increase of plant population /m²
More Seedling …More crop/Yield
Good initiative. Keep it up
Mr. P.P.S.Pangali (President PAU kisan Club)

“It is seen first time the way farmers are being
advise in such a good manner.”
Jemma Sadler 2012 Scholar ,
