Should Agricultural Subsidies be stopped?

My answer is no. Agricultural subsidies should not be stopped.

In this technologically advanced era, with the invent of new agricultural equipment which lead to higher yield, it is definitely required for the government to subsidies such products.

Only then the farmers would come forward to buy such equipment and hence get benefited.

Hello friends, As we know the topic that "Should Agricultural Subsidies be stopped?".

Off course not, because farmer is the king in India. India is totally depend upon agriculture. More than 70% of population is concerned with agriculture Which is the basic need of the world's 100% population as we all need food for survival which comes completely from agriculture.

In fact Agriculture Plays a vital role in Indian economy. But agriculture production will be helpful only when it is produced in large quantity and it is only possible when farmer have the proper agricultural tools, fertilizers, water sprinklers as well. That's why the subsidies should be given to the farmer but there should be implementation that to be given only to the needy farmers not to a rich one.

Indian economy is an agrarian economy. Most of the exports products or the export basket consist of agricultural products. Since independence agricultural production has increase from thousands to millions. This great jump of the agricultural production is due to the special emphasis by the ruling government in their 10 year as well as in 5 year plans. Huge amt of subsidies were and are granted for the globalization and modernization of the global export basket and consumption basket and actually the agricultural production has diversified in years passed by and are diversifying in years to come.


In every budget there has been an allocation of the subsidy amount and during the years subsidy get increased many times sometimes its natural reasons sometimes its due to some other but material personal benefits. So, I am of the opinion that a fast and accurate track or path should be formed so that the subsidies granted is equal to the benefits of the full amount. No misappropriation or dumping of the subsidy amount should be made so that Indian agricultural field improves and leads to balance of payment surplus and reduced current account deficit.

Indian economy was totally a agrarian economy at the time of independence. Agriculture sector had almost 50% of its share in the economy. But presently service sector contributes very huge amount in the Indian economy, this is because of the bad condition of the farmers. Agriculture hugely depends upon climate, weather conditions and we can say that on nature. To invest in this sector is very risk thing. But Nowadays to invest in other sectors is more beneficial than this one.

So to boost farmers to remain in this field it is very necessary and important to provide subsidies to the farmers. Subsidy given by the central government totally depends upon the state government efforts. Recently lot of money was given to punjab and Haryana farmers because of less rain in these areas. So to boost agriculture exports it is very important to motivate the farmers by giving them financial help.

My dear friends.

India is an agrarian country. Agriculture is the main occupation. Many people depend upon agriculture. Due to tough competition and the increased number of intermediaries, farmers are not getting their minimal value of production. So in order to support the farmers subsidies are really useful. If not provided what is the effect of remaining in the same field where they does not get even earnings for their daily bread. So these subsidies should not be stopped. As it bridges the gap between large capital intensive and poor farmers. By providing subsidies to the needed category govt giving justice to them by providing an hope that one day they will be also become a competent force by attaining equality. Thank you.

No - As per my opinion, any kind of subsidy given to farmers and the poor people of India should not be reduced or abandoned. I agree to the fact that nowadays our agriculture is not contributing much to national income as comparing to the era of post independence, but we should remember that this agriculture is feeding lakhs of farmers and their families in our country. Our country need to diminish the gap, which has occurred between upper class and lower class. For that government must have its policies to subsidize the poor living below standards & not by stopping subsidy.

No, as per the situation in India whatever subsidies provided by the govt to the public is not transparent, first govt should insure that subsidies should directly go to the farmer a/c. In India beneficiaries are not getting the benefit which would they have to get. Agriculture is most important sector in India but because of not proper support from the govt agriculture sector contribution is decreasing day-by-day, whatever subsidies is provided by the govt is going the waste and govt saying that we have provide so much of benefit to the farmer.

Agricultural subsidies are necessary.

1. Agriculture is the basis of our economy. It provides food for our survival.

2. Without subsidies, the force competition would allow no profit in agriculture. Agriculture is highly influenced by the weather so the price would fluctuate naturally. When the price is low, it would be impossible for farmers to earn a living.

Each coin has two sides. Agricultural subsidies are a little bit unfair for people in other fields, but from a broader aspect, they are still necessary.

I'm my opinion providing subsidies to farmers is a trick used by politicians to attract farmers to get maximum votes in elections. Because the subsidies provided by the government does not reach the farmers.

Hi.

In my view subsidy in agriculture should not be stopped instead the process of reaching the subsidy to the farmers to be made foolproof by linking it to direct credit in banks account. If government stop paying subsidy to farmers who are almost 75% of our population and contributing to only 25% of GDP they will not be able to survive on agriculture as they are dependent for their products not only on market but also on good whether and sometimes they loss their produces for the bad whether. So for the survival of poor agriculturist and to feed the large population of India it is necessary to support the agri sector.

Bye.
