The trends of the 2000s will continue – but growth will be much faster – Agriculture investment will finally resume after many decades of relative sparseness, but this sector could well grow much faster than the expected 3.4% - a rural road network has been built up, high agri commodity prices would improve terms of trade towards this sector, rural human capital has improved tremendously in the 2000s, new technologies are about to enter on a mass scale, agri reforms such as the APMC acts are being overhauled. However, we would need to wait till the 2020s for the full impact of these changes to be felt – for the time being agriculture (including forestry and fishing) would barely sustain its 3.4%
