Industry players expect lower taxes for agri-tech, specific interventions for crop R&D and post-harvest infrastructure
For agriculture, which was the only sector to witness growth during the Covid-19 pandemic, expectations are high from the Union Budget 2021-22. The sector is likely to see higher allocations especially in the areas of agriculture credit, PM Kisan and irrigation among others.
Industry players are looking forward to incentives such as lower taxes for agri-tech and specific interventions for crop R&D and post-harvest infrastructure.
The Budget should focus on augmenting supply-demand mismatches in areas such as pulses, animal protein and dairy, as the outlays were disproportionately tuned towards erstwhile green revolution crops such as rice and wheat, said Anand Ramanathan, Partner, Deloitte India.

New Delhi, Jan 26 : In a bid to strengthen Agri-NBFCs and help it become a significant contributor in financing the entire value chain of agriculture, the government may consider including these financial institutions in all state supported subsidy schemes and programmes.
The Agri sector NBFCs have made a strong case for including them in various subsidy schemes and programmes of the government, a benefit hitherto available only to the Banks.
This is a demand that would be given due consideration while framing financing regulations for the agricultural sector, official sources said.
