Andhra Pradesh Agriculture, the backbone of the livelihood of over 60% of the regional population, is all set to receive a new deal from the Indian government which has committed to formulate a comprehensive package for reforms and policy changes vital for increasing farm income and productivity, thereby making the sector nationally and globally competitive.
In the backdrop of the new internal and external challenges faced by the farming sector and the alarming deceleration in the rate of growth of agriculture during the past decade, the government is pro-actively looking for solutions to the problems plaguing the sector and has expressed it's intent on charting out a well-defined road map for putting agriculture at the top of the state agenda. To rejuvenate the Andhra Pradesh Agriculture sector, the government has already initiated the mammoth task of pushing through irrigation projects in the state.
Presently Andhra Pradesh Agriculture sector is characterized by lack of reliable and timely information. There is also a dearth of analysis on various vital aspects of the business such as latest prices and trends at major national and international markets, demand and supply pattern, scientific forecasting, crop and weather information, and its impact on agriculture and allied sectors.
The government has identified the need to establish a WTO CELL at the Commissionerate of Agriculture under Governance Reform Program supported by Center for Good Governance. The primary objective of the cell is to create awareness and build capacities among farmers and entrepreneurs related to the implications of the new global trade regime for the Andhra Pradesh Agriculture sector in particular, and the country in general.
The cell would gather latest information about Agreement on Agriculture of GATT and agro-based environment and dissemination of information to farmers and other related organizations. The cell would evaluate impact of different agreements and legislations relating to the WTO on provincial agriculture sector and devise measures to make the state government compatible with the requirements.
