Abstract

The contribution of agriculture to Odisha’s economy has increased significantly, according to its latest economic survey (2019-20), which shows that about 20% of the state’s revenue comes from crops, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture. While ‘natural shocks’ interrupted crop production — a cyclone in 2013-14, drought in 2015-16 and pest attacks in 2017- 18 — the growth in livestock and fisheries has risen steadily for a decade. The state’s Agriculture Policy 2020 indicated the sector’s GDP nearly doubled in real terms, clocking an annual growth rate of about 4.5%, higher than the all-India average of 3.1% between 2000-01 and 2016-17. Odisha’s agricultural success can be traced back to a legacy of scientific exploration and interventions.
