- As of: 2026-03-31
What it measures
The year-on-year growth rate of Gross Value Added (GVA) from Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry and Fishing, at constant (2011-12 base) prices — plus curated headline food-security metrics like total foodgrain production and Minimum Support Prices.
How it is calculated
Computed as the year-on-year percentage change in real (constant-price) Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry and Fishing GVA from MoSPI's National Accounts Statistics, the same method used for gdp-growth-rate; foodgrain production is separately aggregated by the Dept. of Agriculture from state-wise crop-cutting experiments.
Key figures

- Agriculture Share in GVA: ~17% of GVA
- MSP Wheat RMS 2025-26: ₹2,425/qtl (CCEA)
- Kisan Credit Card (KCC) Limit: ₹3 Lakh (enhanced FY25)
