More recently, the agricultural sector has performed better than in the past in terms of the growth rate. This article examines the allocations of the Union Budget 2026–27 for the agricultural and rural sectors in terms of both changing focus (from subsidies to investments, and from production to market support) as well as reasons for higher or lower allocations, as seen through the utilisation pattern of such allocations over the years and in the previous year.-Reproduced
