India's agricultural growth has been impressive at 2.7% per year since Independence, with most of the growth coming from increased crop productivity. Strategies focused on feeding the population and achieving self-sufficiency in food production. The Green Revolution led to accelerated growth rates, with agriculture's share of GDP decreasing over time. Similarly, the share of agricultural exports in total exports dropped from 44% in the 1960s to 14% in the late 1990s.
