flag India hit a record foodgrain output of 357.73 million tonnes in 2025, driven by monsoon rains, policy cuts, and farm subsidies, despite ongoing farmer protests.

flag India's agriculture sector achieved a record foodgrain output in 2025, surpassing 357.73 million tonnes, fueled by strong monsoon rains and expanded kharif and rabi sowing. flag A key policy move was the GST reduction on farm inputs from 18% to 5%, lowering costs and saving farmers up to ₹1 lakh per tractor. flag Despite U.S. tariffs impacting agri exports, non-U.S. trade grew 9% year-on-year, supported by exemptions for over 200 food items. flag The government allocated ₹1.37 lakh crore for agriculture, expanding insurance and fertilizer subsidies. flag However, farmer protests continued over demands for legal minimum support prices, loan waivers, and pensions. flag Pending seed and pesticide bills aim to combat counterfeit inputs, with expected parliamentary action in 2026.
