Government and society in India have historically viewed farming merely as a means of achieving food security for the country. Farmers are considered annadatas, instead of legitimate entrepreneurs engaged in the business of agriculture. The liberalisation of 1991 did not touch the agriculture sector. Despite decades of policy interventions, a majority of Indian farmers have not seen their incomes rise, nor have they been able to increase farm productivity. These policies ignore that the distress in the sector largely results from farmers having little or no control over anything in agriculture. The government interferes with decisions at every step of the production and sale process. This playbook lists eight distinct reforms needed in the agriculture sector so our farmpreneurs may be free to make and sell.
