Farmers to reap good harvest from budget


NEW DELHI: India's vital but antiquated farm sector may next week finally get the funding

it needs to realise its rich potential, with likely big investments in irrigation and seeds aimed

at boosting dismal productivity.

The budget will be unveiled next week by the ruling Congress party, which won a bigger

mandate in May on the back of rural support and has promised "inclusive growth", making

this budget more likely to be farm oriented than in the past.

Credit Suisse said in a recent report that the political environment was extremely favourable

for pro-rural policies.
