New Delhi, Feb, 19: Imphesizing the requirement to accelerate the agriculture productivity in the country, the PM, Dr Manmohan Singh, advocating that the food output must grow at a minimum of 2 per cent every year to meet the growing demand in India by 2020.

This is double the average growth of 1 per cent that India had reported between 1995 and 2005.

"We cannot afford to be complacent since the demand for horticulture and animal product is increasing very rapidly. This will require some shift of area away from production of food grains. Therefore, agricultural productivity in food grain production has to go up handsomely," Dr Manmohan Singh said.

PM was expressing his thoughts in a workshop over the policy initiatives for promoting partnership between stakeholders in agriculture with particular reference to rain fed and dry land farming at the Rashtrapati Bhavan New Delhi.

Production of food grain in India, according to second advance estimates, could show a record 250 million tones, exceeding the target by five million tones, PM said.

The cotton output for the current year is also gone at new record of 34 million bales in India. Emphasizing that a robust agriculture sector is necessary for countries' food and nutritional security, PM said "without providing livelihood security to the farmers, we cannot achieve the goal of inclusive growth in its true sense".

The MSP for most of the agro commodities have been significantly increased in India by the government to boost the production.
