&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Policy still hasn&amp;rsquo;t adjusted itself to address the crisis of agricultural produce deflation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
India&amp;rsquo;s agricultural output grew by hardly 2.7 per cent during the last October-December quarter. That isn&amp;rsquo;t bad, if one takes the corresponding year-on-year increases for the preceding 10 quarters; these have ranged between 4.2 per cent and 7.5 per cent. The cause for concern is that these reasonably good production growth rates in &amp;ldquo;real&amp;rdquo; terms haven&amp;rsquo;t translated into higher farm incomes, which are a product of output multiplied by current prices. According to the Central Statistics Office, the annual growth in &amp;ldquo;nominal&amp;rdquo; gross value added (GVA) from agriculture at current prices for October-December was 2.04 per cent. Not only was this below the &amp;ldquo;real&amp;rdquo; GVA growth of 2.67 per cent, but also the lowest since the minus 1.1 per cent rate recorded way back in October-December 2004. Worse, we now have seven consecutive quarters of single-digit nominal growth rates &amp;mdash; the target of doubling farmers&amp;rsquo; income in five years requires an annual increase of 14.4 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
Advertising&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The above data is reflective of a phenomenon rarely seen in India: Agricultural produce deflation. That this isn&amp;rsquo;t a one-off thing is established by consumer food price inflation, too, ruling below overall retail inflation now for 29 consecutive months since September 2016. The implications are not just economic &amp;mdash; low food prices, among other things, have allowed the RBI to soften its monetary policy stance and cut interest rates &amp;mdash; but also political. If farmers find incomes not rising or even falling despite bumper harvests, they are bound to vent their anger. Managing agrarian unrest has, indeed, been the single biggest challenge for the Narendra Modi government, especially after prices of the rabi crop planted after demonetisation crashed at the time of market arrivals in April-June 2017. Prices haven&amp;rsquo;t looked up since.&lt;br /&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-The Indian Express&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Policy still hasn&amp;rsquo;t adjusted itself to address the crisis of agricultural produce deflation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;India&amp;rsquo;s agricultural output grew by hardly 2.7 per cent during the last October-December quarter. That isn&amp;rsquo;t bad, if one takes the corresponding year-on-year increases for the preceding 10 quarters; these have ranged between 4.2 per cent and 7.5 per cent. The cause for concern is that these reasonably good production growth rates in &amp;ldquo;real&amp;rdquo; terms haven&amp;rsquo;t translated into higher farm incomes, which are a product of output multiplied by current prices. According to the Central Statistics Office, the annual growth in &amp;ldquo;nominal&amp;rdquo; gross value added (GVA) from agriculture at current prices for October-December was 2.04 per cent. Not only was this below the &amp;ldquo;real&amp;rdquo; GVA growth of 2.67 per cent, but also the lowest since the minus 1.1 per cent rate recorded way back in October-December 2004. Worse, we now have seven consecutive quarters of single-digit nominal growth rates &amp;mdash; the target of doubling farmers&amp;rsquo; income in five years requires an annual increase of 14.4 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;Advertising&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The above data is reflective of a phenomenon rarely seen in India: Agricultural produce deflation. That this isn&amp;rsquo;t a one-off thing is established by consumer food price inflation, too, ruling below overall retail inflation now for 29 consecutive months since September 2016. The implications are not just economic &amp;mdash; low food prices, among other things, have allowed the RBI to soften its monetary policy stance and cut interest rates &amp;mdash; but also political. If farmers find incomes not rising or even falling despite bumper harvests, they are bound to vent their anger. Managing agrarian unrest has, indeed, been the single biggest challenge for the Narendra Modi government, especially after prices of the rabi crop planted after demonetisation crashed at the time of market arrivals in April-June 2017. Prices haven&amp;rsquo;t looked up since.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/editorials/agricultural-growth-farm-distress-narendra-modi-lok-sabha-elections-5610983/&quot; title=&quot;https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/editorials/agricultural-growth-farm-distress-narendra-modi-lok-sabha-elections-5610983/&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;Policy still hasn&amp;rsquo;t adjusted itself to address the crisis of agricultural produce deflation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
India&amp;rsquo;s agricultural output grew by hardly 2.7 per cent during the last October-December quarter. That isn&amp;rsquo;t bad, if one takes the corresponding year-on-year increases for the preceding 10 quarters; these have ranged between 4.2 per cent and 7.5 per cent. The cause for concern is that these reasonably good production growth rates in &amp;ldquo;real&amp;rdquo; terms haven&amp;rsquo;t translated into higher farm incomes, which are a product of output multiplied by current prices. According to the Central Statistics Office, the annual growth in &amp;ldquo;nominal&amp;rdquo; gross value added (GVA) from agriculture at current prices for October-December was 2.04 per cent. Not only was this below the &amp;ldquo;real&amp;rdquo; GVA growth of 2.67 per cent, but also the lowest since the minus 1.1 per cent rate recorded way back in October-December 2004. Worse, we now have seven consecutive quarters of single-digit nominal growth rates &amp;mdash; the target of doubling farmers&amp;rsquo; income in five years requires an annual increase of 14.4 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
Advertising&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The above data is reflective of a phenomenon rarely seen in India: Agricultural produce deflation. That this isn&amp;rsquo;t a one-off thing is established by consumer food price inflation, too, ruling below overall retail inflation now for 29 consecutive months since September 2016. The implications are not just economic &amp;mdash; low food prices, among other things, have allowed the RBI to soften its monetary policy stance and cut interest rates &amp;mdash; but also political. If farmers find incomes not rising or even falling despite bumper harvests, they are bound to vent their anger. Managing agrarian unrest has, indeed, been the single biggest challenge for the Narendra Modi government, especially after prices of the rabi crop planted after demonetisation crashed at the time of market arrivals in April-June 2017. Prices haven&amp;rsquo;t looked up since.&lt;br /&gt;

That this isn&rsquo;t a one-off thing is established by consumer food price inflation, too, ruling below overall retail inflation now for 29 consecutive months since September 2016. The implications are not just economic &mdash; low food prices, among other things, have allowed the RBI to soften its monetary policy stance and cut interest rates &mdash; but also political. If farmers find incomes not rising or even falling despite bumper harvests, they are bound to vent their anger. Managing agrarian unrest has, indeed, been the single biggest challenge for the Narendra Modi government, especially after prices of the rabi crop planted after demonetisation crashed at the time of market arrivals in April-June 2017. Prices haven&rsquo;t looked up since.<br />

Unmet farm challenge

-The Indian Express Policy still hasn’t adjusted itself to address the crisis of agricultural produce deflation. India’s agricultural output grew by hardly 2.7 per cent during the last October-December quarter. That isn’t bad, if one takes the corresponding year-on-year increases for the preceding 10 quarters; these have ranged between 4.2 per cent and 7.5 per cent. The cause for concern is that these reasonably good production growth rates in “real” terms haven’t translated into higher farm incomes, which are a product of output multiplied by current prices. According to the Central Statistics Office, the annual growth in “nominal” gross value added (GVA) from agriculture at current prices for October-December was 2.04 per cent. Not only was this below the “real” GVA growth of 2.67 per cent, but also the lowest since the minus 1.1 per cent rate recorded way back in October-December 2004. Worse, we now have seven consecutive quarters of single-digit nominal growth rates — the target of doubling farmers’ income in five years requires an annual increase of 14.4 per cent. Advertising The above data is reflective of a phenomenon rarely seen in India: Agricultural produce deflation. That this isn’t a one-off thing is established by consumer food price inflation, too, ruling below overall retail inflation now for 29 consecutive months since September 2016. The implications are not just economic — low food prices, among other things, have allowed the RBI to soften its monetary policy stance and cut interest rates — but also political. If farmers find incomes not rising or even falling despite bumper harvests, they are bound to vent their anger. Managing agrarian unrest has, indeed, been the single biggest challenge for the Narendra Modi government, especially after prices of the rabi crop planted after demonetisation crashed at the time of market arrivals in April-June 2017.
