Business Of Agriculture - January - February 2018

The Finance Minister (FM) goes on a Farm Visit this Budget. The jury is still out but many agree that the FM has given a big push to the agriculture sector.

The discussion, on viability of the policies announced and the actual changes to be seen on the ground, has dominated from drawing rooms to TV studios. Amongst all the noise of politics the actual woes of the farmers in India must not be sidelined.
As we were preparing for the press one more piece of bad news trickled in – the lack of winter rains and water availability for the farming community which means less productivity.

We believe, one point that skips every policy maker’s to-do-list is that there has been a lack of out-of-box thinking for improving the lives of farmers, thus making farming a profitable venture. Why do they need to tow their produce to the mandis? Why can they not have access to minimal processing near to their fields?
