Vision
Leveraging innovations for attaining efficient, inclusive and eco-friendly agricultural growth
through agricultural economics & policy research
Mission
To strengthen agricultural economics research for providing economically viable, socially
acceptable and environmentally feasible policy options for science-led agricultural growth
Objectives
1. Policy oriented research in network mode on
a. technology generation, diffusion and impact;
b. sustainable agricultural production systems; and
c. interaction between technology and other policy instruments like incentives,
investments, institutions, trade, etc.
d. agricultural growth and development with focus on the role of technology.
2. Strengthen capacity in agricultural economics and policy research in the national
agricultural research system.
3. Enhance ICAR participation in agricultural policy decisions through policy oriented
research and professional interactions.
Functions
Research activities of the Centre are broadly carried out under the following five
major theme areas:

Section 4:
Description and Definition of Success Indicators and Proposed
Measurement Methodology
Objective 1:
This objective deals with research and development (R&D) policies, and innovative
institutions fostering agricultural growth. Research under this theme area provides future
R&D policy to meet the emerging challenges. The important research areas of this theme
include research resource allocation, priority-setting and impact assessment, assessing
efficiency of modern inputs (water, agro-chemicals, hybrids, etc), yield gap, IPR,
biotechnology, and biodiversity. The theme also undertakes inter-country comparisons on
advances in technologies for prioritizing.
Objective 2:
This objective focuses on policy research on improving resource use efficiency, saving and
conserving natural resources, and rehabilitate degraded natural resources. It covers areas
related to status of natural resources like soil and water, factors causing degradation of
natural resources, and assessing feasibility of technological options to overcome the problems
in conserving natural resources. More specifically, impact assessment, trade-offs between
productivity growth and sustainability, environment-adjusted costing of technologies, coping
strategies to degradation of natural resources, biofuel and food security are some of the
important research areas. Climate change and carbon trading are new emerging issues under
this objective.
Objective 3:
This objective focuses on issues related to domestic markets, international trade, prices,
distribution and value addition. The main research areas under this theme include marketing
of farm products, international trade, market reforms, WTO, supply chain development,
demand and supply projections, input markets, market intelligence, incentive structure etc.
Understanding processes and implications of innovative institutions on smallholders are also
covered under this objective. It covers traditional and innovative institutions in entire supply
chain from production to consumers. The research programmes are targeted towards seed,
credit, insurance, technology and information systems on input delivery side. On output
delivery side, important areas related to contract farming, cooperatives, farmers’ companies,
etc.
Objective 4:
Agricultural growth is driven by technologies, policies, incentive structures, investment and
resource endowments. Agricultural growth and development needs to be studied in long-run
perspective emphasizing farm and non-farm linkages, structural changes in agriculture and
other adjustment process. The research areas under this objective include future sources of
growth, risk in agriculture, constraints and opportunities of agricultural diversification,
investment and subsidy in agriculture, investment priorities, and role of infrastructure in
poverty alleviation.
Page 13 of 16
Objective 5:
This objective involves training of social scientists, particularly economists working in the
Indian NARS, comprising ICAR institutes, SAUs and agricultural colleges of DUs and
general universities on agricultural economics and policy research.
Objective 6:
This objective deals with efforts towards enhancing the participation of ICAR in policy
debates and decision. ICAR heavily relies on input from NCAP for various decisions related
to R&D. The Centre undertakes the responsibility of assisting Council, by organizing policy
debates, meeting, seminars, workshops, policy communications, etc. on various
contemporary and emerging issues on agriculture regularly. Besides ICAR, a large number of
other Ministries like Food, Finance, Commerce, Fertiliser, etc. are using the input provided
by this Centre for policy decisions.
Page 14 of 16
Section 5:
Specific Performance Requirements from other Departments
Availability and quality of data from various database provided by government and
other sources is necessary to do the appropriate policy analysis and come out with a
meaningful and relevant policy suggestions from the studies undertaken by NCAP.
Support of funding agencies other than ICAR like International Food Policy Research
Institute, Washington D.C., on timely release of funds and technical collaboration is
necessary to complete some of our research activities in time.
Executing the primary survey based studies require support and cooperation from the
concerned field officers of state development departments, civil societies, farmers and
other stakeholders for smooth and easy collection of data in time for further analysis
and conclusion at NCAP.
Success of capacity strengthening programmes conducted by NCAP depends on
cooperation from SAUs and other institutions in deputing the relevant professionals
with adequate support in time.
