Agriculture plays a vital role in the economy of Haryana, with over 65% of the population depending on farming and related activities for their livelihood. The state's fertile soil, well-developed irrigation system, and proactive government initiatives have made Haryana one of the top agricultural producers in India.
Major crops cultivated in Haryana include wheat, rice, sugarcane, cotton, and pulses. The state is also known for dairy farming and horticulture, contributing significantly to the nation's food basket. To boost productivity and support farmers, the Haryana Government—alongside Central Government support—has launched numerous welfare schemes.
The Haryana Government is committed to making agriculture more sustainable, profitable, and resilient to climate change. Through digital initiatives, organic farming support, and skill development programs, the state envisions a future where farmers are empowered, incomes are doubled, and food security is ensured for all.
