Statewise estimates of value of output from agriculture and allied activities 2013
The agriculture and allied activities (livestock, forestry and fisheries) play a vital role in the Indian economy. Important developments in this sector have been place over the years particularly after the green revolution, white revolution and blue revolution. The contribution of this sector to the gross domestic product (GDP) is estimated in terms of gross value added (GVA) using the production approach. The estimation of GVA involves valuation of the products and by-products and ancillary activities at the prices received by the producers after deducting the value of inputs of raw materials and services consumed in the process of production at purchasers’ prices. In this context, information on state-wise value of output assumes considerable importance. With this in view, a brochure containing state-wise value of output of agriculture and allied activities is disseminated by CSO at regular intervals. The present one is seventh in the series including the state-wise estimates of value output of agricultural crops, livestock products, forestry and fisheries with base year as 2004-05.
