Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted India's remarkable progress in the agriculture and allied sectors while addressing the Kisan Tak Bharat Agriculture Conference 2026. He emphasised that India's agricultural exports have crossed ₹4 lakh crore annually, contributing significantly to farmers' incomes and strengthening the country's position in global agricultural markets.
Speaking at the conference, the Prime Minister noted that India has emerged as the world's largest producer of milk, pulses, jute and rice. India also ranks second globally in the production of wheat, cotton, fruits, vegetables and fish. Furthermore, the country is the world's largest producer of millets.
Describing these achievements as a reflection of the immense potential of Indian farmers, Modi said the figures represent more than statistical milestones and demonstrate the strength of India's agricultural community.
From Green Revolution to White Revolution
Recalling India's agricultural transformation, the Prime Minister highlighted the historic contributions of the Green Revolution and White Revolution.
He said the Green Revolution marked a significant turning point in India's journey towards food grain self-sufficiency, while the White Revolution transformed the country into the world's largest milk producer.
Highlighting the growth of the dairy sector over the past decade, Modi stated that India's milk production has increased by approximately 70 per cent, while egg production has risen by around 90 per cent.
Blue Revolution Boosts Fisheries Sector
The Prime Minister also underlined the achievements of the Blue Revolution, noting that India's fish production has more than doubled over the past ten years.
He emphasised that the growth of agriculture, dairy, poultry and fisheries reflects the expanding potential of India's rural economy and the contribution of farmers to the nation's economic development.
The Prime Minister's remarks highlighted India's journey towards agricultural self-reliance, stronger exports and greater global leadership in food production.
