‘106 Million Tonnes of Wheat has been Produced this Year’, Farmers will Speed up the Country’s Economy in the Corona Time

Steps such as lockdowns taken by countries around the world to prevent corona have had a major negative impact on the economy of these countries. All industries have come to a standstill and some sectors have reached the verge of destruction. Perhaps this is the reason why according to IMF estimates the world will not make any progress on the economic front this year, instead, the world’s GDP will suffer up to 3 percent.

India too will not remain untouched by this economic impact of Corona and India’s GDP growth rate in 2020 is estimated to be just 1.9 percent. However, there is one such sector in the country that is playing an important role in boosting India’s economy this year and that sector is the agricultural sector!

There has been a good yield of rabi crops in India and the economy of the country is showing fruit due to the hard work of the farmers of the country. According to statistics, this time around 106 million tonnes of wheat has been produced in the country. This is the first time that more than 100 million tonnes of wheat have been produced in India. This will give a big boost to the country’s economy.

 
According to the data for the year 2019, the agriculture sector contributes about 15 percent of India’s total GDP. The Meteorological Department of the country has already given good news for this sector that the monsoon will be good in the country this year. Let us now tell you how the monsoon and India’s agricultural industry are directly interlinked and how the normal monsoon this year is very good news for the farmers of India.

Actually, India currently cultivates the largest amount of land in the world. 215 million acres of land is cultivated in India and so a large amount of water is also needed for irrigation which fulfills the monsoon. During the four months of the monsoon, India receives more than three-fourths of the total rainfall, so in the year when the monsoon is weak, this sector of India breaks its back, but this time it will not happen and this is the best thing. is.

Since April 20, the Central Government has given permission to continue economic activities related to agriculture everywhere in the country, due to which the lockdown had no significant effect on this sector. Last month, Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said: “there will not be that much impact on the agricultural industry.” Yields have been bumper this year and farmers will be given their share price under MSP ”.

The government has also made a lot of announcements in its 20 lakh crore relief package for farmers, and now that wheat has yielded bumper, there is another good news for farmers. Apart from this, during the time of Corona, states like Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat are going to make many major reforms for the benefit of farmers. These states have now given permission to the industry and traders to buy the raw material directly from the farmer according to their convenience.

Similarly, farmers have also been given the exemption that they can sell their raw materials directly to retailers or processors other than government mandis. With this, not only will the farmers get better prices for their crops, but this step will also reduce the fearlessness of the farmers on the stockholders.

It has now become clear that whether it is about trade or economy, in every field this year only the agricultural industry can save India’s sinking economy economically. Today all the people of India and other countries are getting food from home, so it is the result of the hard work of the farmer sweating in a field far away. The agricultural industry itself has been feeding India and today even in the crisis of Corona, the agricultural industry is standing in the country.
