The Budget is likely to see the government infusing investments into the agriculture sector for doubling farmers' income, "ease-of-doing-farming" and putting in place an integrated logistic, transportation and marketing system. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) party, in its election manifesto, has committed to spending around Rs 25 lakh crore in the farm sector over the next five years. He said she should replicate it in the farm sector for better governance; "she needs to initiate the process of ease-of-doing-farming now". Dalwai chaired the committee, which has submitted its report to the government on doubling farmers' income by 2022 from 2016 level. The domestic farm sector has been struggling due to its structural deficiency.
