Union Budget 2026 places farmers at the centre of growth, with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announcing targeted measures to fulfil the Modi government’s long-standing promise of raising farm incomes. The budget focuses on diversifying farm output, boosting productivity, and promoting high-value crops such as coconut, cashew, cocoa, sandalwood, walnuts, and pine nuts across coastal and hilly regions.

Special emphasis is laid on small and marginal farmers through support for livestock farmer producer organisations, enhanced competitiveness in coconut production, and a dedicated programme for Indian cashew and cocoa. The strategy aims to drive productivity, entrepreneurship, and sustainable income growth in agriculture nationwide.
