Agriculture sector growth signals stronger domestic production and rising exports, with improved productivity and expanded cropped area. Agriculture performance shows record production in foodgrains, oilseeds and pulses, notable crop productivity gains, expanded area under foodgrains and oilseeds, higher central pool stocks and increased net per capita availability. Exports and allied outputs, including marine products and milk, grew while credit to the sector exceeded targets. Concurrently, the sector's share of GDP declined and the number of cultivators fell, reflecting structural changes in employment and economic contribution.
