Irrespective/immaterial of any kind of technological developments; agriculture has always been the spine of Indian economy and shall remain. With only 45 percent of the 140 million hectare net sown area receiving irrigation facilities; agriculture contributes over 15 percent of India's GDP. If the central & state governments could join hands productively to provide irrigational facilities to its complete potential, agriculture could contribute more than 50 percent of India's GDP.

Modernising agriculture to churn out value added products to export is the need of the hour in efforts to increase the percentage of India's share in overall exports. Wish the central and state government of India create robust channels of procurement of agricultural produce directly from farmers to churn out value added products. Competitive central/state owned processing centers in every district/state is the need of the hour to churn out processed value added food products for exports from India. In which case, India would be the market leader in the manufacture & export of processed food products.

Provision of water is a pre-emptive requisite to agriculture; which depends on the nationalising & linking rivers of the nation; aiming to utilise the available quantity to its maximum productivity. Like the middle east identified with oil exports, the comparative advantage of India is in its becoming value added exporter of processed foods. I visualise India with surplus agricultural produce and state run processing centers churning out value added food products for exports thereby becoming market leader! Like middle east identified with oil exports; India must be identified with value added processed food exports!
