Summary: India has shown an impressive agricultural performance since the mid-1960s. The increasing shortages and inability to cope with growing food demand at that time gave way in the 1980s to occassional marginal surpluses. There are, however, grave doubts on several issues- a major worry being the trend in the growth of foodgrain production, which, according to some studies, shows deceleration in the recent past. This raises questions about the sustainability of the growth and an exhaustion of the potential of the "green revolution."
