Now out of total chinese gdp 2023. Agri percentage is around 7%. That is 1.26 trillion dollars..
Agri percentage in India in 2023 is 18.3%. That means 682 billion dollars. This does not takes into difference between inflation in both countries.
Same amount of money would not grant same amount of food in both countries.
In the end, it boils down to this:
India's food situation deteriorated during its best economic growth period. This is best explained by population outstripping jobs creation and rampant food inflation. Your people cannot afford adequate nutrition.
Please read carefully:
On the other hand, China is ranked in the top tier in food abundance. People have plenty of food so consumers splurge surplus income on manufactured goods like cars and air conditioners.
ACs are good example because China is a temperate zone nation with winters and yet it buys far more than countries in South Asia and Africa which are tropical year round. ACs allow for better standard of living as well as productivity.
But if your purchasing power is low and you need a high percentage of your income to stave off hunger then ACs are out of reach -- which in turn weakens your ability to compete with China (and other East/Southeast Asian states) in manufacturing:
