The Union Budget’s focus on high-value agriculture, improving farm productivity and encouraging entrepreneurship reflects a practical approach to strengthening India’s agricultural ecosystem. Special attention to small and marginal farmers, rural youth and the North-East will help ensure more inclusive and balanced growth across regions. The introduction of technology-led initiatives like Bharat VISTAAR is also a positive step, as it can help farmers access timely, data-driven insights and adopt better farming practices. The continued emphasis on value addition, support for women-led rural enterprises, and long-term sustainability aligns well with the industry’s focus on responsible fertiliser use and efficient farming systems. Overall, these initiatives move Indian agriculture towards a more productive, technology-enabled and sustainable future.
