ISSUES AND PROBLEMS  Under NFSM,percentage share of SC component.  Non –procurement of other alternate crops i.e oil seed and pulses at MSP.  Climate change.  Degradation and over exploitation of natural resources i.e soil and water.  Lack of storage facilities for food grains.  Water logging and salinity in south- western districts.  Declining arable land area.  Technology fatigue.  Insufficient Migratory labour in Agriculture sector.  Environmental Pollution

Suggestions Provision of adequate funds for research and development in crop improvement,natural resource management and climate change adaptation. Strengthening of scientific storage facilities and cold chain infrastructure. Establishment of Agro- processing units in Rural Sector. Assured procurement of diversified crops at MSP to promote diversification.
