Answer 1

Answer:

These are interesting times for farmers. Foodgrain prices are rising, but farmers are getting impoverished. The government has launched a massive waiver of farm loans, but farmers’ distress remains unmitigated. Farm credit increased at an annual compound rate of 24% during the 10th Plan (2002-2007) period, but farm productivity has remained stagnant and farmers’ dependence on moneylenders has risen.

The reason why many of the government’s well-intended measures fail is not far to seek. The actual problem that farmers face today is low incomes due to the absence of post-harvest infrastructure, low value addition and absence of organized marketing processes. The solution, in fact, lies in ensuring that farmers get a higher portion of the price paid by consumers, which will ensure higher incomes for them. This, in turn, will spur investment in agriculture, leading to increase in farm productivity and easing of supply-side constraints responsible for spiralling foodgrain prices
