Rural India is expected to stand tall as the Covid-19 pandemic ravages the economy this fiscal - thanks largely to agriculture, which is expected to do well given the IMD's prediction of another normal-monsoon year.
CRISIL's Agriculture Report delves into the performance of rural India at a state and sub-region level. Starting this year, in addition to field crops and agriculture inputs, we are offering coverage on horticulture crops.
This enables us to offer a holistic view on farmer incomes in upcoming cropping seasons.
