Primary sector, which included agriculture, forests, and fisheries, was the bright spark of India바카라s GDP in the pandemic year, 2020-21. According to a CARE Rating report (February 2021), this sector is likely to 바카라grow by 3.4% this year (2020-21) on top of 4% growth바카라 in the previous year.
Agriculture Growth 바카라Bright Spark바카라 In Times Of Pandemic: Study
According to a CARE Rating report (February 2021), this sector is likely to 바카라grow by 3.4% this year (2020-21) on top of 4% growth바카라 in the previous year.
Two caveats need to be introduced here. One, the agriculture growth took place despite the 바카라issues in marketing and pricing due to the closedown of transport and restriction in movement of people바카라 during the various lockdown phases in 2020.
The former restricted the access to marketplaces, which drove up retail prices of food grains. The latter led to a piquant situation where migratory farm labour was unavailable, but a portion of this was made up by millions of families that returned to their villages.The second interesting aspect of the primary sector is that the growth was punctuated by a few uneasy trends. For example, the overall increase in food grain production this year is expected to be 2% 바카라 from 297.5 million tonnes to 303.34 million tonnes.
In fact, the comparison between crops presents a more dismal situation. In the cases of wheat and rice, which together account for more than three-fourths of annual food grain production, the growth is estimated to be 1.3% and 1.2%, respectively. This is lower than the overall 2%.
However, other crops, whose contribution was not too much, helped to boost farm growth. For instance, maize production is expected to shoot up by 4.8% this year, as against the overall figure of 3.4% for coarse cereals. Pulses too are estimated a show a remarkable 6% hike.
What is more amazing is the expected growth levels this year (2020-21) in the cases of sugarcane (7.3%) and oilseeds (12.3%). Thus, the boost in agriculture comes from the non-major crops.
