The wakeup call that china represents to India is not limited to its showpiece urban centers or that New Delhi hopes India will experience the benefits that the Olympic games have brought to Beijing. More pertinent is the comparison of the agricultural sectors of the two countries were on per on most parameters? Both have traditionally been agrarian economies and over half their populations continue to depend on the land for their livelihood. With large populations and histories of famine, India and china share concern on issues such as food security. However, which India's agricultural sector is projected to grow by 25% this year-a slide from the previous year's growth. China's has been steadily growing at between 4% and 5% over the last fifteen years. The widest divergence between India and China is in the profitable horticultural sector with the production of fruits and vegetables in china leaping from 60 million tons in 1980 compared to India's 55 million tons at the same time. To 450 million tons in 2003 ahead of India's corresponding 135 million tonnes. China's added advantage lies in the more diversified composition of its agricultural sector with animal husbandry and fisheries' which account for close to 45% of growth compared to 30% for India.
According to the latest report by the economic advisory council. The traditional excises for india's substandard performance in the form sector are inadequate Since India is placed favourably when compared to china interms of quantity of arable land. Average farm size. Farm mechanization etc. The reason for china having out performed India are threefold: technology improvement accruing from research and development. Investment in rural infrastructure and an increasingly liberalized agricultural policy moving away from self-sufficiency to leveraging the competitive advantage with a focus on "efficiency as much as equity". Investment in rural infrastructure. Roads, storage facilities, marketing facilities are also crucial but government support in india has mainly been through subsidies, not investment. There has been much debate about subsidies and their utility. The opposing view being that subsidies are against the market reforms and distorts the market as well as reduces resource efficiency. In contrast to the 2046 applications for the registration of new plant varieties in china over the past few years. Date reveals that despite India having the largest number of agricultural scientists in the world India's current research track record is abysmal equivalent to what china achieved in the 1980s. For from development new strains, the numbers of field crop varieties fell by 50% between 1997 and 2001 despite the fact that there was sharp and sustained increase with only 3% being allotted for research. In contract. Most agricultural research. Funds relating to salaries and other administrative incidentals must be generated by the centers themselves. The centers and scientists are thus encouraged to engage in joint ventures with private sector companies to form commercial signoffs from their research. In fact, research staff are now being hired on a contract balls with pay based on performance and salaries raised proportionately for those who perform well. India needs to learn from china's example and adopt a pragmatic approach if it has to meet its targets of the eleventh five year plan.
