This
paper focuses on some of the major policy issues for accelerating a sustainable
and equitable agricultural growth process in Punjab in the next five to ten
years. There are numerous policy issues given the multiple and competing
interests of the many stakeholders. The policy issues analysed in this paper
are limited to the productivity and quality of land and water resources;
production and distribution of seeds; transfer and adoption of
productivity-enhancing and profitable technology that protects the environment
and quality of the resource base; and market structures (supply chains) and
government regulations for markets of fruits and vegetables and livestock and
products. Based on the analysis, the paper concludes with several suggestions
for further research and changes in public policy.
