AGRICULTURE The District Economy is mostly dependent on agriculture sector. The increase in agriculture production and productivity will boost the health of district economy. The Department of Agriculture as one arm of the government has been established to perform the following functions in the process of harmonizing the farming community.

Soybean production: There is wider growth potential for production of certified seed production at farmer level particularly in Gandhari, Tadwai, Rajampet, Bichkunda, Peddakodupgal, Madnur, , Sadashiva Nagar where the predominant soils are black which are highly suitable for Soybean production. Hence there is a need to establish a Soybean Seed Processing unit at Gandhari / Bichkunda and one Soybean Post Processing unit at Kamareddy which will give competitive Market price to the farmers. Pulses Production: In Kamareddy and Bichkunda agriculture divisions, where the crops are grown mainly under rain fed condition, is highly suitable for short duration crops like pulses and oilseeds.
