@AneeshaBedi Sure!

@sanjeebm77 Hi, sent you a DM. Would be great to hear back from you! Thanks :)

Predictions of a crash in domestic maize prices or farmer distress due to US India trade deal are premature. business-standard.com/economy/interv…

We need all kinds of subsidies. Now, I think, it's time that we define what we want agriculture to be, says @laveeshbhandari of @CSEP_Org in a panel discussion alongside @Ramesh_ChandDr of @NITIAayog and @agulati115 of @ICRIER #bsmanthan #thoughtleadershipsummit | @sanjeebm77 youtube.com/watch?v=5yRekW…

The overall resources that are going to agriculture in India are not less, but they are not being utilised in the right way, says @agulati115 of @ICRIER in a panel discussion alongside @laveeshbhandari of @CSEP_Org and @Ramesh_ChandDr of @NITIAayog at #BSManthan2026 #bsmanthan #thoughtleadershipsummit | @sanjeebm77 youtube.com/watch?v=5yRekW…

Centre lifts ban on wheat exports after more than three years Read @sanjeebm77's report for details 👇 #Wheat #WheatExports #Agriculture #Farmers #FarmExports mybs.in/2g3pv1K

In addition to wheat, India also allows additional exports of 0.5 million tonnes of sugar over and above already permitted 1.5 million tonnes. But so far just around 0.2 million tonnes of the permitted 1.5 million tonnes of sugar for the 2025-26 marketing year has been exported

India allows 2.5 million tonnes of wheat exports. Lifting the ban imposed in May 2022. It has also permitted exports of 0.5 million tonnes of wheat products exports, in addition to the 0.5 million tonnes already permitted a few days

Pulses may emerge as new flashpoint for India under US trade deal mybs.in/2g3oXRQ

I think this could also be due to expansion of the cup-and- cap model of PMFBY across states.

#Budget2026 ... Focuses more on allied sectors in agriculture and also Southern states. GVA of allied sectors has grown at a faster rate than the core crop sector in the last 10 years.

Sharing my opinion piece published in the Business Standard today. Do read & share feedback. Some extracts… Steady collapse of Indian National Congress under Gandhi siblings is hollowing out political contestation. In absence of a credible opposition, complacency is most visible in agricultural economics domain. Impact of U.S. tariffs. Hard truth is making a deal with God is no different from making a deal with the Devil. One cannot bargain with a power exponentially greater than oneself. For 1st time ever, a larger part of agricultural household income is coming from ‘non-agriculture’ income & not from their primary profession. Imports of MSP crops must attract tariffs, calibrated to ensure that landing cost never undercuts the MSP. Reforms rethink; land-leasing, land ceiling, fertilizer & food subsidies, dispersal of subsidies based on area production plans, futures trading of agricultural commodities, Conflict-of-Interest-law. ‘Agriculture Innovation Fund’ to support foundation-level agricultural research. Eg. Soil Microbiome - modern science will converge with natural farming & new principles of post-modern agriculture will emerge. Authority, akin to a debt recovery tribunal, for agricultural loans. Many recommendations for Indian agriculture remain substantively unchanged across 7 decades. India’s agricultural plan cannot fail because India does not yet have one. Call it pessimism if you must. I would rather be described as an optimist tempered by experience.
