      Suggest some measures which should be taken by the government to increase agricultural production besides those that are being taken.

    Answer:

                    Other measures can be (i) Provide incentives to farmers to trade in agricultural products and also for their supply to the domestic market by facilitating access to land, rural finance, technical knowledge, communications and transport. (ii) Increase output by giving incentives for expanding the area under cultivation, changes in output mix and technical changes like using HYV seeds. (iii) Promote a change away from staple foods to more labour-intensive, high income-elastic products such as vegetables, fruit and livestock products. (iv) An indigenous system for generating technical change is necessary if the technology is to match changing local needs. (v) Agricultural development should be broad-based, with small/medium scale rural industries. The development of such industries requires appropriate industrial policy.
