Governor Abdul Nazeer highlights AP's robust 8.8% agriculture growth amid rising food demand
Vijayawada: Mentioning that Andhra Pradesh was a leading performer with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.8% in the agriculture and allied sectors during the year 2024-25, Andhra Pradesh governor S Abdul Nazeer noted that it is essential to take care of nutritional security and food safety while producing more food for our growing population. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The AP governor, who is also the chancellor of Acharya NG Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU), took part in the 57th university convocation ceremony held at Swarna Bharath Trust at Atkur in Krishna district on Thursday. Addressing the students at the convocation, Abdul Nazeer said that in 2024, India achieved a record food grain production of 353.95 million tonnes, which is a 6.5% increase compared to the previous year. This surge in agricultural production was driven by bumper harvests of key crops like wheat, rice, and maize. Supportive government policies and agricultural schemes were also cited as contributing factors for this achievement. "Our country's population is likely to cross 1.6 billion, and food demand is expected to rise to approximately 400 million tonnes by the year 2050, necessitating the need to produce even more to meet this demand," the Governor noted. Stating that the agricultural sector also provides livelihood support to about 46.1% of the country's population, Abdul Nazeer said that according to the Economic Survey 2025, the agricultural sector is seeing a growth rate of about 3.8% in the financial year 2025. However, an agricultural growth rate of 4% per annum is necessary not only to meet the demand for food, feed, and fodder but also to sustain a GDP growth rate of 8-9%, reduce poverty, and support the overall economic growth of the country.

A total of 46 PhDs, 196 postgraduates, and 1,420 graduate degrees were awarded to the students at the convocation.
