Event Description:

India is an agrarian economy and the majority of the individuals are engaged in this sector for the sustenance of better livelihoods. It renders a significant contribution to the growth and development of the country’s economy. It is directly and indirectly linked with the other sectors of the economy and has the major objective of promoting overall growth and development of the economy. The economic contribution of agriculture towards the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country is declining with the economic growth that is taking place within the country. Agriculture with its allied sectors is the largest livelihood provider within the country.

India is expected to achieve the ambitious goal of doubling farm income by 2022. The agriculture sector in India is expected to generate better momentum in the next few years due to increased investments in agricultural infrastructure such as irrigation facilities, warehousing, and cold storage.

The webinar will hold discussions and focus on the future of Agriculture in the Bharat market and what it takes to build an Agritech enterprise in the Bharat ecosystem presenting some of the challenges which will be opportunities for entrepreneurs with interest in the sector.
