The history of Agriculture in India dates back to Indus Valley Civilization Era and even before that in some parts of Southern India.[1] India ranks second worldwide in farm outputs. Agriculture and allied sectors like forestry and fisheries accounted for 15.4% of the GDP (gross domestic product) in 2016 with about 31% of the workforce in 2014.[2][3][4] India ranks first globally with highest net cropped area followed by US and China.[5] The economic contribution of agriculture to India's GDP is steadily declining with the country's broad-based economic growth. Still, agriculture is demographically the broadest economic sector and plays a significant role in the overall socio-economic fabric of India.
India exported $38 billion worth of agricultural products in 2013, making it the seventh largest agricultural exporter worldwide and the sixth largest net exporter.[6] Most of its agriculture exports serve developing and least developed nations.[6] Indian agricultural/horticultural and processed foods are exported to more than 120 countries, primarily in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, SAARC countries, the EU and the United States.[7][8]
