New Technology in India's Agriculture and Outlook for Grain Production

Abstract

India's agriculture is changing fast because of greater use of high-yielding seed varieties, insecticides, and machinery; increased multiple-cropping; and expansion of irrigated area. The rapid growth in agricultural production that characterized the late 1960 's is expected to continue during the 1970's. New factories now manufacture most of the fertilizer and tractors purchased by Indian farmers. Government price policies and development programs are designed to encourage greater agricultural production. Although India's food grain production is projected to total 144 million metric tons in 1980, some imports are still likely to be needed.
