Should Agricultural Subsidies be stopped?

as per my opinion Government Should Give Subsidy on Agriculture but Government need to work on The channel to provide Subsidy to farmer. because the Current Channel to serve the Subsidy is not properly reach to Farmers .only 25% is reach to farmer & remaining 75 % Subsidy is Utilized By the Mediates

Large Percentage of Farmer have less land also illiterate & less Educated ,there are a lot of Obstacles to reach the Subsidy

the Another benefit of Subsidy is that Subsidy in cash basis which Generate More employment as well as increase Satisfactory level in to the beneficiary & also

At percent time Agriculture passing from a challenging way that is to providing the Food all the population which is increasing very fast. we have Limited Source( Agriculture Land),that by we need to farming with modern Agriculture technology

to adopt the Modern technology which is Very Costly for Small & marginal Farmer so they Need Financial(Subsidy) from Government

Agriculture role in Country GDP is 18% So this is the Big Nos & Also need to Boost in The way of Subsidy

Country where each day farmer's are committing suicide because of their inability to pay back the loans taken, there is no reason to stop the subsidies, rather, it should be increased. But I feel these days there is a greater need to get rid of the pesticides and fertilizers based farming hence I feel that MORE SUBSIDIES to be given to farmers doing ORGANIC FARMING.

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.

Hello friends,

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.

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.

We cannot think of stopping the agricultural subsidies because India is a developing country where more than 70% population depends on agriculture for its survival. 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. So, in our country we should not stop subsidies given to farmers.

I think agricultural subsidies should not be stopped as 70% of India's population depends on agricultural activities. And it would also increase the price of food for poor. And also very bad for the farmers as the cost of the services would increase.

If foundation is not furnished well then how can a building perfectly structured. As an agril. Economics student I think that all 3 sectors are vital for economy development and there should be a balance among the growth of these sectors. But according to trends agriculture is still far backward to the other sectors. So obviously its need extra care and nourishment because still more than 60 per cent people live in rural areas and 58 per cent population engaged in agriculture. Subsidy should provide but its channelization should be in a proper manner.

Agricultural subsidies should not be stopped but it should be done in an efficient manner so that the needed farmers or poor farmers who are not financially stable can get these facilities and their situation can be improved. Government should have all the details of farmers and on the basis of that list distribution should be done. They should provide subsidies category wise. Improvement in the agricultural sector is one step towards the development of our country.

Developed countries are granting enormous subsidies to their agriculture sector. In the USA the lobby of corn growers influenced the Government to continue with the subsidies. Countries like US and other developed nations have a plan to produce more and export more, thereby making the developing countries as dumping grounds for cheap agriculture produce. It has many implications- One the imported food grains will become cheaper in the developing countries, two- farmers in the developing countries, in the absence of farm subsidies, will not be able to compete with the imported food grain prices; three: developing countries suffer from current account deficit and balance of payments due to more imports; four: developed countries can recover the subsidy costs through export taxation, and increasing the foreign currency reserves. Therefore, in countries like India, we should increase farm subsidies from the current levels and make our farm produce more cheaper than in the developed world.

Hello friends,

India is very well-known country for agricultural products, as a developing country everyone of us should be educated. Farmer children will use the educational benefits provided by government Should they be doing the same thing as their parents do. No, so government Providing subsidies to farmers according to the amount of production they produce to remain the same increase in production.

Hence Govt encourage the farmers to produce more and more production so that they earn more subsidies. They may be quite encouraging.

So, agricultural subsidies should never be stopped.

Agricultural subsidies should be never stopped in India, because in total farmers of India about 80% of them are small scale land holders (less than 2 acre) and remaining are medium and large. If these are stopped then how do they sustain, how do agricultural production will increase. Now the per capital availability of food in our country is less than half of the available.

Government must support for subsidies for agricultural implements to land enrichment and providing seeds at cheaper rates to all those land holders.

Government should also examine the farmers who really eligible to it. If these conditions mis-result to rich farmer- India will never reach to developed country results rich becomes too rich poor becomes too poor. Please support from your side.
