| From time immemorial, India has been a major producer of agricultural commodities with a prominent role in the international market especially in spices and condiments, medicinal plants, cashew nuts, coconuts, tea, coffee, cocoa, rice etc. India’s growing domestic market also offers good opportunities for investors and producers. To be more competitive in the globalised economy, it is important to make use of the advanced technologies in farming practices, post harvest handling, packaging and cold chain management. It is essential to develop the linkages in the value chain to make the farming, processing and trade more profitable for all the players. |
