Latest survey data confirms the increasing importance of livestock activities, which should come as a signal for policy makers.

While the latest decennial NSS 77th round Situation Assessment of Agricultural Households (SAS) shows some improvement in the total income of farmers from various sources, a 10-percentage fall in the share of income from crop cultivation has also been reported during this period, which should be a cause for concern to policy makers.

Smaller land holdings having low economic viability and increasing expenses are making farmers and their family members migrate to cities and look for alternative employment.

The farmers’ average net income from crop production increased from Rs 3,081 during 2012-13 to Rs 3,798 per month during 2018-19. In real price (base 2011-12), this amounted to an increase in average monthly income from Rs 2,882 to Rs 3,170, i.e. an increase of Rs 288 per month.
