Abstract
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is an investment made by Multi-National Enterprises (MNEs) or by a non-resident in an enterprise of host (recipient) countries over which they have a control and earn private return. It is important to distinguish between Direct and Indirect Foreign Investment. The indirect investment includes portfolio investment, acquisition of stock of an enterprise, medium-term and long-term loans by financial institutions and intermediaries, and investment in new issues of national loans, bonds and debentures. FDI in Indian Agricultural sector is no doubt a necessity, however, any increase in equity stake of the foreign investors in existing joint ventures or purchase of a share of equity by them in domestic firms would not automatically change the orientation of the firm. That is, “the aim of FDI investors would be to benefit from the profit earned in the Indian market. As, a result, in such cases FDI inflows need not be accompanied by any substantial increase in exports, whether such investment leads to modernization of domestic capacity or not”. Therefore, it is a challenge for a developing country like India to channelize its capital inflow through FDI into a potential source of productivity gain for domestic firms especially into agriculture. In this context, this empirical study is taken up to examine the role of FDI in Indian Agricultural Sector. The study has used secondary data.
