Agriculture plays a vital role in the economy of India. More than 58% of rural households depend on agriculture as their main livelihood. Agriculture, together with fisheries and forestry, is one of the largest contributors to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). According to estimates from the Central Bureau of Statistics (CSO), the share of agriculture and related sectors (including agriculture, livestock, forestry and fisheries) was 15,35% of Gross Value Added (GVA) during 2015- 16 at 2011-12 prices .
India is the largest producer, consumer and exporter of spices and spice products. Indian fruit production has grown faster than vegetables, making it the second largest fruit producer in the world. Indian horticulture production, which includes fruits, vegetables and spices, is estimated at 283,4 million tons (TM) in 2015-16 after the third advanced estimate. It ranks third in agricultural and agricultural products. Agricultural exports constitute the 10 percent of the country's exports and it is the fourth major exported product. India's agri-food industry is divided into several secondary segments, such as canned, dairy, processed and frozen foods for fishing, meat, poultry and cereals. The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation under the Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for the development of the agricultural sector in India. It manages several other organizations, such as the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), to develop other allied agricultural sectors.
