Several farmer organisations in Tamil Nadu on Sunday said the Union Budget 2026–27 did not sufficiently address issues faced by the agriculture sector, including rural distress, rising input costs and climate-related challenges.
The Tamil Nadu Farmers’ Association, affiliated to the CPI(M), said the Union government had failed to offer any meaningful intervention to address the agrarian crisis even after more than a decade in office. In a statement, its general secretary Sami Natarajan termed the Budget a “grave betrayal of farmers”, contending no new schemes had been announced and allocations for agriculture continued to remain inadequate.
