I read a sentence in "The Hindu" which was:
This year's interim budget is being regarded as a big spread for farmers.
Does it mean "extent or amount of something" or "a large meal although not in literal sense)?

When referring to the complete context of paragraph in 'The Hindu Article',
This year's interim budget is being regarded as a big spread for farmers.
Definitely refers to the second context, a large meal.
It sounds like the second one, as in "a table spread with lots of food"
