Agriculture in Madhya Pradesh has witnessed a remarkable turnaround. From negative growth over 15 years ago, the sector has been achieving over 10 per cent growth over the past decade; some years, it was more than 20 per cent. Agriculture’s contribution to the state’s Gross Value Added (GVA) jumped from 33.85 per cent in 2011-12 to 46.98 per cent in 2020-21.
