Decline in agriculture in Goa and its consequences on the economy?

Question

reasons why agriculture is declining in Goa

Answer 1

Current food production trends are a cause for concern in Goa. The growth of total food grains — with the advent of economic reforms — slumped to 1.66 per cent in the 1990s as compared to 2.85 per cent in the 1980s. The main reason for this has been the sharp decline in government spending on agriculture and irrigation infrastructure. The combined share of agriculture and irrigation in total plan outlays has come down from the high of 31.04 per cent  to just 10.63 per cent. With the decline in agriculture combined with the increase in population the resulting consequences on the economy will be that Goa will no longer be able to produce the food to feed it's people and will once again be dependant on importing grains.
