India?s Agriculture Sector and Economic Resilience Amid Global Challenges: An Indian Scenario

India?s agriculture sector continues to play a pivotal role in sustaining economic growth. Ensuring food security, and supporting rural livelihoods amid rising global uncertainties. According to the United Nations? World Economic Situation and Prospects 2025 (WESP 2025) report, India is projected to achieve a GDP growth rate of 6.6% in 2025, the highest among major economies. Agriculture remains central to this resilience through diversified production systems, export competitiveness, and policy support mechanisms. However, climate change, food inflation, supply-chain disruptions, and rising input costs continue to threaten agricultural sustainability. This paper examines the Indian agricultural scenario in the context of WESP 2025, focusing on sectoral strengths, emerging opportunities, major challenges, maize-sector transformation, edible oil dependency, seafood exports, and policy imperatives for sustainable growth. The study concludes that innovation-driven and climateresilient agriculture will be essential for India?s long-term economic stability and global agricultural leadership (United Nations, 2025).
