Summary:

Agriculture is starting to emerge as a sunrise industry that could propel India's next economic phase, according to Suman Bery of NITI Aayog. He emphasized increasing yields, value addition, and productivity through crop-specific strategies rather than general approaches when speaking at a horticulture roadmap event in Jammu and Kashmir. He pointed out that specific approaches are needed for animal husbandry, horticulture, and cereals. Additionally, Bery stressed that increasing employment numbers alone is not enough to increase productivity and wages. He emphasized how technology and effective resource management can increase exports, citing the Netherlands as an example and providing insightful guidance for India's agricultural development.
