.The budget 2020 was rolled out with much fanfare but left a little to be desired for the middle-income families. The 2020 budget, as with most budgets in recent years focused on the Indian agriculture sector. There are a lot of positives to be seen and we’ll look at the highlights of the budget and how it could affect you as a farmer.

Budget 2020 For Indian Agriculture

We’ll primarily be looking at the points in the Indian budget that refer to the plant farming only in this blog.

Some off the points mandated for boosting agriculture in India:

• Krishi Udan scheme to boost exports both internationally and domestically
• 2.83 Lakh crores allocated to enhance the irrigational facilities for agriculture
• Faster delivery of perishable items with Kisan Rail
• Zero Budget Farming will be at the forefront of the government’s agenda for farmers
• The government has proposed to do a lot of hand-holding with the farmers to ensure better utilization of all its available facilities
• Land fertilization techniques will be improved and the knowledge disseminated  
• More than 100 “water-stressed” regions will be paid more attention to, to ensure adequate water supply
• Barren farmland owners will be provided with funds to help set up solar pumps 
• More funds will be provided to ensure that the farmers are properly insured and the budget highlighted the fact that 6.11 crore farmers were already insured under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana

What Does This Mean For Farming In India?

While agriculture has always been a priority for the Indian sub-continent, now more than ever, the government needs to focus on education and awareness to the farmers. Last years zero budget farming was a step in the right direction. However, the cascading of information has yet to reach the roots across India. A lot of focus these next few years will be on how well the government implements its schemes. Farming Consultancy and Agriculture consulting will have a large part to play in the government’s plans.
