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.

In my point of view, subsidies should not be stopped. As we know approx 80% of our population depand upon it. All the framer work hard all the time in their field. They have not a single minute for their children.

Most of the farmer using old way of farming. Govt should have to take step in development and introduce new technique of farming.

In an agricultural economy like India, grant of subsidy play an important role in uplifting this sector. Most of the farmers of our country are small and marginal. Indian farmers being poor are not in a position to buy the expensive agricultural inputs like pumping sets, advanced machinery, technologically improved fertilizers, manures, high yielding seeds, tractors and many other inputs to increase their production and productivity. This in turn calls for the urgency of agricultural subsidy to be provided by the government.

As such I feel that agricultural subsidy in no way should be stopped in India. Govt should work at its best to provide farmers with credit facilities and other input facilities at a subsidized rate to enhance their production and protect the interest of the farmers so that they can get adequate commercial value of their produce. To conclude I would like to say that subsidies should be provided in a way that will protect the interest of the farmers and at the same time keep a check on the corrupt and fraudulent practices prevailing in this sector so that rich farmers and intermediaries do not take dew advantage of this facility granted by the government.

NO, A nation also known as a agricultural state in world and where 70% of India resides in villages, there are majority of families which rely on agriculture as there primary source of income. We already see farmers committing suicide, leaving agriculture as it does not provide adequate funds for their survival in present world and if we stop subsidies it will cripple them.

We provide 5lakh cr as subsidies to corporate for industrial development but we are incapable of bringing same to farmers. Instead of starting modern green revolution we are thinking of cutting funds in agriculture.

We should first increase base price of all raw materials and further provide adequate information to farmers about seeds, soil and what is beneficial for them.

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.

Hi,

In my opinion agricultural subsidies should be given. Because in India agriculture is considered as the backbone of the economy. Farmers will grow the crops for getting some profit. But to get that profit farmers may not have enough money to invest in the crops. For support to the farmers financially these subsidies must be given. Also these subsidies should be reached out to everyone not only some people and they should be given properly. Therefore it is the responsibility of the government to provide the subsidies to the farmers properly.

Hi.

Good morning everyone.

India is a second largest populated country in the world. Till date, it's 70% of the people depends on agriculture. India is an agriculture formost country. Indian agriculture plays the vital roal in Indian economy. Indian economy and agriculture bondage to each other. 50% of India economy depends on agriculture.

So, my opinion is agriculture subsidies should not be stopped and Indian government should also improve and spared the agriculture.

In my opinion agreecultural subsidies should not be stopped. In India most of the farmers condition is not well. The profit from their production is not apparently much. Many time due to excessive rain or dry summer they faced much loss. And then they are unable to buy seeds. If the govt did not help them by providing the money of their new seeds for next season crops, it will be unable to turn back for them. Beside providing subsidies govt should also be concerned in the distribution system of crops from farmer to market. When a farmer produces vegetables, that will passed in many hands before market, the farmer can't directly sell the crops in market, if they could they would profit much, they sell the crops to the local agent with very few profit, then the local agent and through other people the crops finally come into market and then the price is tripple higher than the price farmer got. So if govt can stop this and make a way to directly selling in the market for farmers, then the farmers will be really helpful.

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.
