BACKGROUND
India's agriculture price policy is the outcome of a complex and complicated dynamic interactive
process involving several forces. These forces emanate from domestic and international sphere
of life. It is formulated to perform highly complicated multiple functions. Agriculture price policy
in theory ensures higher investment and production of agricultural products, determines the
rate and quality of economic growth, and promotes the optimal cropping pattern.
Agriculture price policy has played and continues to play a significant role in scio-economic
development of the nation in terms of imparting vision to the world of agriculture, and of laying
down road-map for all-round development of the sector. It has also played an important role in
influencing farm and food prices in most of the developing countries. This has been so in case
India since independence.
Agriculture price policy in India has undergone major shifts in its objectives, thrust and policy
instruments in the last 70 years. The emphasis on price policy as an instrument of achieving
development of agriculture sector in general and of farming community in particular has
augmented in the changed global context. The country had witnessed farmers' unrest over
prices of agriculture produce in past few years. In the contemporary times, agriculture price
policy in India is viewed as an important element of the broad strategy of doubling farmers'
income pursued by the Government of India and being vigorously implemented by the States
and Union Territories. In this context, the proposed national seminar on 'India's Agriculture Price
Policy in the 21st Century' intends to explore this multi-faceted phenomenon.
