"The strategy for agriculture will certainly create new jobs, especially in the allied sector. However, agriculture's share of employment will actually reduce, from the current 70 per cent to 40-45 per cent.... As economies grow, the focus of economic activity shifts from primary activities to those that lead to greater value-addition. As Andhra Pradesh's economy develops, it will follow the same pattern, shifting from a predominantly agrarian to an industry- and services-led economy. As a result, more and more jobs will be created in industry and services as compared to agriculture.'
