An attempt has been made in this paper to examine the impact of economic liberalization on the growth of Indian agriculture on the basis of a detailed comparison of the growth experience during the pre-liberalisation period and the post-liberalisation period. The specific aspects of the growth of Indian agriculture covered in this study are: comparative GDP growth of agricultural and non-agricultural sectors, comparative trend in sectoral value-added proportion, sources of growth of net output, behaviour of agricultural and non-agricultural prices and growth of agricultural and non-agricultural exports.
