Agricultural Subsidies be stopped
Should agricultural subsidies stopped or not has been topic of talk shows without proper representatives from farming side ,According to my opinion agriculture subsidy should not be stopped as our agriculture contribute 15% to our GDP and 60% of total employment beside it we know that our economy is agriculture dependent and beside it 95% of farmer comes under small land holding farmer who are not able to do cultivation without subsidies. We know that agriculture input is crucial thing for cultivation of land and our farmer can not afford that much of costly input.
agriculture subsidies should be removed or not
I think instead of stopping agriculture subsidy we should focus on.
Agriculture policy which restrict the produce within the state some state not allow to sell or buying the produce in other state which increase the cost and inflation also along with this.
To impose levied duty on essential commodities,
And monopoly condition in procurement of produce (cotton in Maharastra).
All these factor cause huge cost to farmer and less price for their produce.
Along with these farmer can not afford the costly fertilizer which is important factor to increase yield also and if govt will not provide subsidy than how farmer can produce and fulfill the consumption need of India.
Obstacles for the farmer.
1. Indian farmers have less land and are basically illiterate or less educated.
2. Obstacles to understand and apply the technology.
3. Government Subsidies don’t reach to themselves as the larger part of the subsidies are theft by the middlemen or bought by the rich farmers.
4. Gambling is done during monsoon.
5. The Infrastructure of Storing Crop, like Cold Storage is not available on every area -this is why 30% of Yearly Production of Vegetables in India are rotten.
Government should take appropriate steps to face these challenges.
Providing higher rate of subsidies to the marginal farmers and lower rate to the rich farmers.
Providing appropriate teaching of innovative methods to every farmer.
Growth of Canal and Tank Irrigation.
Low Rate Loans and Crop Insurance Facility should be provided.
The Govt should also inspect the Proper Distribution of Subsidy.
This is how the Government should meet the challenges and ensure the Farm Productivity.

Agricultural subsidies should not be stopped, the reason is that many farmers can not handle the burden of total investment. It will be good if government provide these subsidies to the farmers. Agricultural subsidies are the financial support to farmers through government.Government sponsor price-support programs.Agricultural subsidies reduce the prices for farm products and to increase, or at least stabilize, farm income.
70% depends on agriculture for its survival … most vilager are poor when farmer get subsides.
in our country. we should not stop subsides given to farmer

According to my opinion Agricultural Subsidies should not be stopped because already farmers condition are very bad and most of the schemes can not be reach to the farmers so they suffer in critical condition. so according to me we have to support to farmers and subsides should not be stopped.
I seem Agricultural Subsidies shouldn’t be bannaed.
60-70 % Indian population are living in villages and most of them depend upon farming for their survival…that’s why subsidy from government will help them for more and more number of production. In place of removing subsidy , government should try to give more n more information about it through campaign , tv, radio or other means of communication so that they know more and utilize the benefit of it.
beacause dearness increasing day by day farmar poor if they pursase in that wheat is costly so that every thing is costly. that’s by food is very cheap so that nutriasion problem decrease .
Along with these farmer can not afford the costly fertilizer which is important factor to increase yield also and if govt will not provide subsidy than how farmer can produce and fulfill the consumption need of India.Besides, most of the villagers are poor and illiterate. Subsidies given to them are an aid which reduce their incapability to become self-reliant. Also by giving them subsidies, government can make them satisfied and thus, motivates them to grow more and more so as to fulfill the need of hunger. When farmers get subsidies, they do their agricultural work with comparatively more diligence and thus, we get better produce. 95% of farmer in our country comes under villages holding small land who are not able to do cultivation without subsidies.& We all know that agriculture input is crucial thing for cultivation of land and our farmer can not afford that much of costly input… It gives employment to many people of India belonging to rural areas.so i think it should not be bannedbecause all farmers depend on it….
My interpretation about this is that no ,subsidies should not be stopped, because if whether are changes and harvest can go ruined then there is not a problem of farmer and it gives harm to farmer and they have to suffer financially ,economically and domestically too. Sometimes Government Subsidies don’t reach to themselves as the larger part of the subsidies are theft by the middlemen or bought by the rich farmers.
As we know that most of the portion of land belongs to villages and vegetables came from there.
Now a days fields are converted in to roads and buildings and factories so we should give farmers subsidies and encourage them so that so we should not face the problem of hunger crisis…
According to my opinion agriculture subsidy should not be stopped as Indian agriculture contribute 60% of total employment also it is known that our economy which is the 10th most fastly growing economy of the world depends upon agriculture and also as if the subsidy will stopped then the farmers will require more money to buy agriculture product and sell them at higher rate to distributors which will cause price rise and also lowers the GDP because the farmers need to spend more money to cultivate crop they will produce less product that automatically leads decrease in economy rate.and the 40% of the population which is not in the field of will directly get affected by purchasing agricultural products at high rate.
Agriculture subsidies should never be banned as about 60% of our country’s population lives in villages and most of them depends on agriculture for their employment, If subsidies are banned then farmers will not be able to but fertilizers, water, agricultural tools etc. on lower rates.Due of this farmers will migrate from rural area to urban area which will lead to lack of crops.
Also, this will indirectly effect the common man as it will increase the cost of raw food which will lead to increase in other eatables.
agriculture subsidies should not be stopped because in india 60%-70% of farmers are not are not able to purchase seeds,fartilizers and irrigation facilities.so i think govt. should give agriculture subsidies to those farmers who are financially weak. so that they can servive and earn some profit.
according to me subsidies should be given to farmers bcoz many times in the whole year there are many ups and downs in the climate which may or may not be favourable for the crops, so they have to bear the risk of there investment, this is one of the reasons, another reason is that if subsidies are not given then instead of making profit they will suffer loss which may lead there family to move in the cities for searching another way of earning money.
According to my view, It should not be stopped because many people ‘life depends on the agricultural activity,if this is stopped then they can not be survive.
stopping subsidy will directly affect the cultivation of agriculture as the years passing the inflation rate is
continuously growing and also the prices of the cultivation products also hiking and since also 90% of the farmers of our country come under below poverty line.. so the subsidies really help them atleast to grow the crops….if it would stop the food for also 30% of the population which are farmers.
70% GDP depend of agriculture…so it will also get affect..
Instead of this government should implement some more agriculture policies..that could innovate the farmers to cultivate.

Subsidies on agriculture is huge loss to our economy. A major part from our economy depends upon agriculture . As India is a very fertile land and agriculture is a gem of it. India is basically known for its land and tax or subsidies on such things is a huge demented to our country. FDI is already entered in our society so taking from our own land is not at all beneficial. Increasing the rates will directly effect our common man.
According to me agriculture subsidies should be banned as our country has an agricultural background so its economy is generally based on agriculture so if we put subsidies then it will ovrtax the farmers as they have to produce lot and get a little amount which is going to burden their lives which in turn going to affect our economy.
no susidies on agriculture cant we stopped it is the major sector of economy of our country ………farmer having susidies can perform well in agriculture field which will produce more and more food grains for us that is very critical elemnet to live……….because as far as finacial condition of farmer are concerne is not actually good so to help them is very necessary ….so susidies should be provided to them
As far as my views are concerned i think agriculture subsidi y should not be done in developing countries like INDIA because we know that in INDIA is a farmer based country there are so many farmers in our country if the subsididy should be done in In agriculre THAN how can they survieve if the y cant survive than whole INDIA haS to suffer. For developpment government shoiuld focus on Agriculture field and it should be subsidised.
I think agricutural subsidies should not be stopped because all the peoples who lives in villages are depend on the agriculture,farming etc..And that subsidies helps to them for producing or developing the agriculture…they do better cultivation and produce good crops..thats the reason ,,,subsidies should not be stopped in our country..
India is known as rice bowl of the world. Its the Second highest producer of rice in the world.About 70% of the population is employed in farming.
We cannot think of stopping the agricultural subsidies because India is a developing country. If its stop then all the economy of India would be at the risk of drain. Most people do farming as there primary occupation. They survive on the little profit what they earn through it.
Subsidies given to them are an aid which reduce their incapability to become self-reliant. Also by giving them subsidies, government can make them satisfied and thus it motivates them to grow more and more so as to fulfill the need of hunger,shelter etc. Giving Subsidies make a helping hand in there earing and provide them with basic necessities of life.
When farmers get subsidies, they do their agricultural work with comparatively more diligence and thus, we get better produce.
So, in our country we should not stop subsidies given to farmers or there will be lots of unemployment in the country and it will lead to economic crisis. Instead in my opinion they should be made literate enough so they could earn more money by using different fertilizer which would prove their living standard , automatically improve standard of India.
In India, approx. 58 % of our population relies on agriculture for there daily bread.Most of this population lives below poverty line.This itself signifies the amount of penetration of agriculture and result if subsidies are removed.
Despite such a huge population it`s contribution to our GDP is about 17%.Thus looking in economic terms it seems viable to abolish subsidy system.But going on amount of people affected is huge,it cannot be.
Following points need to be mulled:
1)
Almost 70% of agricultural fields are still rain fed.This means in case of of scarcity of rainfall, it would become impossible for farmers to earn there bread.
2)
It is a fact that most farmers get only a fraction of the amount at which crop is being sold in market.For instance, if some vegetable is sold in market for Rs.20/kg, farmer is paid about 4/kg, this makes it impossible for him to survive.Same was evident when Punjab farmers had to throw potatoes because of not bring able to get even invested amount.
Thus subsidy cannot be removed until we create a system where farmer isn`t exploited by middle men, have proper education for crop.
when farmer get subsides,they their aggriculture work with camparatively more diligenceb and thus.
80-90% Indian population are living in villages and most of them depend upon farming for their survival…that’s why subsidies from government will help them for more number of production.
agree that the govenment should deal with the obstacles farmers in India are facing.
India is a developing country and the large number of population depends on agriculture.
subsidies should not stop on agriculture because farming is the base of our country .
In the field of farming there is no monthly salary for the farmer,already they had paid lots of taxs
in the market in the form of salling his goods.
If there is no subsidies for the agriculture person they get lots of burden on it.Every farmer is not a
rich.Goverment should provide the subsidies for it.
According to me agricultural subsidies should not be stopped as this subsidy is the only hope for our Indian farmers, which is provided in the electricity bills, water irrigation costs, media services and also in other fields. Due to the inflation in India, subsidies is keeping farmers alive otherwise they would strive to live in their own home. Also these are those farmers which contribute majorly in the GDP of India. Therefore we should uplift the Indian farmers and also the subsidies provided to them.
