Due to the rapid growth of other sectors, the contribution of agriculture to India’s total GDP has been in decline of late, reaching 13.7%, but it is still demographically the largest sector in this country. The biggest problem for India, which ranks 6th on our list of countries that export the most food in the world is its dependency on monsoons, seeing how only roughly 35% of their land is reliably irrigated. This, however, does not stop them from being one of the world’s top exporters of rice, butter, and spices.
