Description The contribution of agriculture to
Odisha’s economy has increased
significantly, according to its latest
economic survey (2019-20), which
shows that about 20% of the state’s
revenue comes from crops, livestock,
fisheries and aquaculture.
While ‘natural shocks’ interrupted
crop production — a cyclone in 2013-14,
drought in 2015-16 and pest attacks in 2017-
18 — the growth in livestock and fisheries
has risen steadily for a decade. The state’s
Agriculture Policy 2020 indicated the sector’s
GDP nearly doubled in real terms, clocking an
annual growth rate of about 4.5%, higher than
the all-India average of 3.1% between 2000-01
and 2016-17.
Odisha’s agricultural success can be
traced back to a legacy of scientific exploration
and interventions.
