A. STRATEGIC CONTEXT AND RATIONALE
1. Country and sector issues
In the last ten years agriculture in India has undergone considerable change. National food selfsufficiency has been achieved, although many poor households are s t i l l at risk. The demand for income elastic products, such as fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, fish, milk, sugar and edible oils has increased and i s encouraging diversification o f production. The Government o f India (GOI)
has started t o reduce domestic and international trade restrictions to meet WTO obligations.
While agricultural development has long been production based, i t s future will be more market driven (Annex 1).
About 80% o f the 260 m people below the poverty line in India live in rural areas and depend upon agriculture for their livelihood. Most are small farmers exploiting a fragile resource base and landless people seeking to sell their labor. Market driven agricultural development affects their poverty through effects on producer incomes, consumer prices, employment and wages, and through multiplier effects throughout the economy. It may also reduce rural to urban migration.
