It is now projected that there will be a greater need for agricultural raw materials, and agriculture will no longer only involve growing crops and selling them locally. Today's farmers must instead cater to a global market. But with new opportunities come new difficulties. In addition to considering the preferences of the clients they wish to serve, farmers and agricultural businesses that wish to participate in the rapidly growing global market must also abide by the strict production and quality standards mandated by the importing nations as well as the rules governing international trade established by the World Trade Organisation.
With a 17% GDP contribution, agriculture remains one of India's most significant and prosperous industries. Approximately 58% of Indians make their living from agriculture. In addition to providing superior raw materials for processing to the nearby industry, agriculture accounts for over 10% of all export revenue. However, agriculture will need to make a greater contribution to value addition, productivity enhancement, high-quality goods, and trained labour to successfully handle these problems if it is to support India's outstanding economic development in the years to come.
We want to sincerely thank to the people and organisations that helped make this initiative possible by providing support and enabling the dissemination of knowledge. For the purpose of enhancing agriculture and the standard of living for farmers and other interested parties, this is a helpful source of knowledge.
