Agriculture shapes the foundation of our nation’s economy. Very high percentage of farmers depends on liquid cash as it is useful for their day today transactions. Thus because of demonetisation, the cash withdrawal from banks was limited and the farmers were unable to draw huge cash to pay their labours which resulted in postponing their works which further lead to reduction in agricultural production. The Indian government decided to demonetise the two biggest denomination notes which made the farmers struggle a lot whose savings habits as well as payment mode were only on cash.Due to this the farmers at the below poverty level have become jobless for days or months. However, to come across these issues the present study is being carried out to explore the impact of demonetisation on agricultural sector. The data for the present study has been gathered from both primary and secondary sources. The geographical area selected for the present study is limited to shimoga district only by meeting twenty five respondents. Thus the study throws a light on demonetisation and its impact on agricultural sector.
