Slow agricultural growth is a concern for policymakers as some two-thirds of India’s people depend on rural employment for a living.

Poorly maintained irrigation systems and almost universal lack of good extension services are among the factors responsible. Farmers' access to markets is hampered by poor roads, rudimentary market infrastructure, and excessive regulation.
