improving farm productivity, decreasing cost of cultivation, and improving market efficiency -- to improve the state of agriculture, Dalwai said.
The Central government has increased MSP and gave a bonus to farmers in the last two years, he said.
Noting that farm income and farmers' income are different as the latter involved income from sources of animal husbandry, he said the "next phase of green revolution or farmer revolution will come from animal husbandry, dairy, poultry, fisheries and horticulture sectors."
Observing that pulses, millets and oilseeds are similar in nature, he said there is a need to bring them together.
He stressed that post-harvestment management is extremely important.
"So, production segment and post production segment are two basic pillars of this house called agriculture. We will have to bring greater focus on that. The government policy is precisely to focus on that now. Our committee is trying to that," he said.
The inter-ministerial committee on doubling farmers' income, headed by Dalwai, was set up in April last year and it would submit its report in April this year.
