“…Satyasai and Singh (2021) reported the success of FPCs in strengthening backward linkages with farmers and forward linkages with food processing units for value addition. With support from NABARD, the FPCs in the north-east region have facilitated higher income to growers through consolidation of produce, access to inputs and integration with processing units.…”

This chapter deals with key structural issues facing Indian agriculture since Independence. In the context of federal fiscal relations as well as shared responsibilities towards agricultural development, it examines spending on capital formation and subsidies in agriculture vis-à-vis other economic sectors. It then deals with reforms in the subsidy regime (relating to both inputs and ouput) and the implications of the agri-marketing laws enacted in 2020, since retracted. The agriculture sector (including irrigation) has always received relatively lower priority in public expenditure. Morever, the spending bias has been more towards input subsidies rather than on investment, which may affect agriculture growth in due course. The institutional, price and legislative reforms and structural changes identified in the paper suggest that the agricultural sector requires handholding. The Government of India and state governments should work in tandem to accelerate rural infrastructure, target specific regions as well as small and marginal farmers for support, and create a competitive environment that stimulates investment, productivity and marketing efficiency. States should also be given more flexibility in drawing up action plans relating to the production and marketing of produce to encourage farmers and the private sector. A greater role for existing institutions in coordination and to ensure effective implementation of policies is called for.

The indicators of the internal resources factors in the small-scale agroprocessing in South Africa have a complicated cluster of networks, inventory, and trademarks compared to the commercial agro-processing sector. However, it has been identified that the internal resources endowment of small-scale agroprocessors is extremely weak. The study was carried out in the five provinces of South Africa, and the sample size was made up of 503 respondents. Face-to-face interviews were employed to collect the data in a sequential explanatory mixedmethods design, where quantitative data collection was through closed-ended questionnaires, and qualitative was through focus group sessions. The results revealed that the network (β = 0.440, p = 0.000) forms an integral part of the factors that influence the small-scale agro-processors internal resource status in these enterprises. While trademark (β = 0.142, p = 0.000) and inventory (β = 0.138, p = 0.000) were found to have second and third impact respectively. As a result of the reported weakness in the business networks in the small-scale agro-processing enterprises, it is recommended that these enterprises form lobby organizations that will enable the internal resources base of these enterprises.
