Abstract:
This research study aims to assess the effectiveness of government subsidies on agricultural production and farmers’ income. Government subsidies play a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities and ensuring the stability of the farming sector. However, there is a need to evaluate the impact of these subsidies on agricultural production levels and the financial well-being of farmers. This study will analyze the various types of subsidies provided by governments, such as input subsidies, price support programs, and income support schemes. It will examine the extent to which these subsidies contribute to increased agricultural productivity and profitability. Additionally, the research will explore the distributional effects of subsidies on different categories of farmers, including small-scale farmers, large-scale commercial farmers, and marginalized groups. By assessing the effectiveness of government subsidies, this study aims to provide insights for policymakers in designing more targeted and efficient agricultural support programs.
