The impact of Goods and Services Tax (GST) is being felt most immediately and viscerally in the agriculture and livestock sector, where even a modest five percent tax has begun to ripple through the entire food system, from feed mills and fertiliser depots to farms, markets, and households confusing the people across the country.

Under GST Amendment Act 2025, all sorts of animal feed, fertilisers, seeds, and agricultural machinery are no longer zero-rated. They now attract a uniform five percent tax, a major shift from the previous sales tax regime, where many agricultural inputs were taxed at zero percent.
