According to government predictions, India is on course to set a record for foodgrain output in 2025, with the farm sector aiming for a strong 4 per cent growth. The expected milestone highlights India’s agricultural sector’s productivity and resilience in the face of climate change and global economic uncertainty
A number of factors, including increased investment in rural infrastructure, the adoption of cutting-edge agricultural technologies, and the successful execution of government programs like PM-KISAN and the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana, have been attributed to the growth trajectory by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare.
According to preliminary data, favorable monsoon conditions and additional acreage are supporting bumper yields in important commodities including rice, wheat, and legumes. Precision farming, better irrigation, and hybrid seed use have all increased as a result of the agricultural industry’s drive for self-reliance. Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar praised the farming community’s work and emphasized the government’s resolve to increase farmers’ incomes while guaranteeing food security. In addition to satisfying domestic demands, India’s agriculture industry is becoming a significant force in the world’s food markets, he said.
However, experts warn against complacency, emphasizing the necessity of addressing issues such as supply chain inefficiencies, post-harvest losses, and the effects of climate change. In order to preserve soil health and water supplies, policymakers are also placing a strong emphasis on sustainable practices.
The record output for 2025 is expected to solidify India’s standing as a major agricultural force in the world as it advances toward reaching its food security objectives.
