The aim of the research is to learn about the current state of the Indian agriculture market, the numerous challenges and obstacles that farmers, the agro-industry, and governments face in developing agriculture in sensitive uncontrollable environments, as well as various government interventions, investments, and policies for agricultural production and the importance of agriculture in the Indian economy.
