India moving towards farm mechanization in a big way
“Farm Mechinization has become so vital an issue that as part of the AgriTech India 2012 expo (Bangalore), a special conference on “Emerging Market for Agriculture Technology and Crops in South Asian Countries” was held, and it was an important meet since technology adoption and farm mechanisation are gaining ground fast in this region to ensure better food and nutrition security to its bourgeoning population,” says S. Jafar, Chief Coordinator. in educational institutions and migration of youth to from rural areas to urban areas in search of lucrative employment. In addition, the introduction of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, which provides employment to people close to their homes, has further aggravated the problem of shortage of farm hands, thereby giving a fillip to use of machinery for farm operations. “Foreign companies manufacturing farm machinery and processing equipment view India as a potential market, since interest in farm mechanization and on-site value addition have escalated in this country of late,” says S Jafar, Chief Coordinator of Media Today Group, a major organizer of agri and hortibased exhibitions in India. Through our exhibitions, “We are trying to bridge the gap between farmers and suppliers of farm machinery and equipment, not only from India but also from countries like Holland, Turkey, Italy, Germany, China and Israel, as farm solutions in these countries are more user-friendly. Imports of such equipment and machinery into India are on the rise,” he adds. The success of Ratnagiri’s Agri Mart, Champion Agro Retail, DCM’s Hariyali Bazar and Godrej’s Aadhaar and ITC’s e-Chaupal are proven examples of a spurt in demand for farm equipments and machinery. They are launching new outlets and hiring the youth for sales and marketing to cater to increasing demand. Interestingly, African countries as also south Asian countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Myanmar are following India’s lead and importing low cost farm solutions from these countries to boost their own farm mechanization and rural employment programmes. “Farm Mechinization has become so vital an issue that as part of the AgriTech India 2012 expo (Bangalore), a special conference on “Emerging Market for Agriculture Technology and Crops in South Asian Countries” was held, and it was an important meet since technology adoption and farm mechanisation are gaining ground fast in this region to ensure better food and nutrition security to its bourgeoning population,” says Jafar.
Machinery import from Turkey Turkey is one of the leading countries in farm mechanization and in export of technology and farm equipment. India is an emerging importer of Turkish technology and machinery related to farm, dairy, grain milling, meat and food processing sectors, as Turkish Ambassador to India Dr Burak Akcapar emphasized in a recent interview to AgriTech India newspaper. Dr Akcapar said, “Attaching great importance to research and development, the Turkish Machinery Manufacturing Industry has sharpened its competitive edge in international markets due to its advanced engineering skills and low costs. Consequently, Turkish machinery industry has been exporting to around 200 countries. The mission of Turkish machinery exporters is flexible production at competitive prices using high technology and its vision is to reach world markets in a fast and effective way. “ Commenting on Turkish participation in Agri Tech Expo, Jafar says, “This certainly would facilitate bilateral trade further and promote import of Turkish technology and machinery into India, which is an emerging market for farm machines and equipment for dairy and other food processing industries.” Such events would also provide Turkey ”great understanding and possibly a window to neighbouring markets such as Bangladesh and Sri Lanka”. Greater use of farm machinery will be particularly relevant in South Asia, where farmers grow a number of crops, but have technical constraints in enhancing production and productivity because of inadequate exposure to high technology & inputs, coupled with advanced production practices, logistics and marketing. In many parts of India, shortage of labour is a major concern for progressive farmers, who are comparatively better off, and therefore have the capacity to buy machinery and farm equipment. Adoption of latest technology and new agricultural practices has become all the more important against this backdrop. A series of programmes have been launched by
the Government of India to attain 4 per cent annual growth in agriculture and to double the production of horticulture crops in the ongoing 12th five-year plan. Prominent among these programmes are the National Food Security Mission, the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana, National Horticulture Mission, Macro Management of Agriculture. AgriTech India 2013 therefore will be an eye opener to the growers and other stakeholders of every segment of Agriculture and allied activities who want to expand and diversify their activities. Grains Scenario in India The need of the hour in India is increased productivity of grains and building of an effective supply chain to ensure that what is produced in the farm reaches the consumer in good shape. The country has over 5000 Rice mills, 1000 Flour milling plants, 200 Soybean plants, 2000 Spices crushing plant, 1500 Pulses mills, 2000 Oilseeds crushing units, 1000 Feed Units, 100 Biofuel and energy projects, 1000 Coffee plants etc., looking for new and better technology to upgrade their manufacturing, processing, packaging line. Through “GrainTech India 2013” -- to be held from 23 to 25 August 2013 in Bangalore, India -- participants will have a wonderful opportunity to meet their potential clients under one roof. It would be India’s largest International Exhibition on Grains, Cereals, Spices, Oil seeds, feeds, Products & Technologies, drawing thousands of trade visitors. . The concurrent events would be 5th Edition of India Foodex 2013, an International Exhibition on Food Products, Processing & Packaging machinry and Allied Industries. This exhibition has a strong support from prominent Indian agri and food organizations adding the strength and value to the event. Among the numerous organizations supporting the exhibition are like The Solvent Extractors’ Association of India, All India Food Processors’ Association, Coffee Board, Roller Flour Mills Federation of India, Spices Board, The Soyabean Processors’ Association of India, All India Rice Exporters’ Association and Indian Oilseeds and Produce Export Promotion Council. The list is,
indeed, long! The last edition of GrainTech India 2012 had the participation from over 16 countries around the world like the Netherlands, Turkey, China, Korea, Italy, Ethiopia, Thailand, Nigeria, Mozambique, France, Spain, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, USA, UK, UAE, Germany etc., displaying their comprehensive range of products and technologies in the grain industry. Dairy Industry in India India ranks as the world’s largest milk producer during 2010-11 with an annual output of 116.2 million tonnes. India’s milk production accounts for 16% approx. of the world total output. Constituting an important segment of the Indian rural economy, dairy and dairy products provide livelihood to millions of homes in villages and ensure supply of quality of milk and milk products to people of both urban and rural areas. The accelerated socio-economic development during the 21st century is throwing up challenging issues like food security, food safety, quality and their linkages with the national and international markets as the demand for food is increasing. India has launched an ambitious Dairy Project named as “National Dairy Plan” Phase-I to increase the productivity of milch animals and provide more revenues to India’s 70 million small milk producers and upgrade milk processing plants in cooperatives and private sectors. The total amount of Rs. 2242 crores (426 Million USD) will be spent by International Development Association, World Bank and Govt. of India. Milk production is growing at 3.3% while consumption is growing at 5% leaving a gap between demand and supply. The implementation of NDDB National Dairy Plan, it is hoped, would enable the country to plug the gap between demand and supply. The 3rd Edition of DairyTech India 2013 therefore will be an eye opener to stake holders of every segment of dairy & allied activities who want to expand/diversify their activities. A concurrent event would be the 2nd Edition of “International Poultry & Livestock Expo 2013”, an International exhibition on Poultry, Livestock and Technologies. Industry leaders and experts are expected to participate. n

Focus to be on sustainable agriculture
W
orld over, brisk technological innovations have taken place in the agri industry, and these have begun to be included in the India as well. The vast and varied scope of the farm produce in India, coupled with the intricate supply chain structure makes the country a very significant agri investment destination. Food and nutritional security are leading concerns, as is rural income. Emphasis is being laid on taking technology to the farmer, as well as on including the important elements of sustainability and environment management into the very grain of agri development. To guide the Indian farmer and the Indian agri industry towards maximum value creation, Confederation of Indian Industry has been organising Agro Tech, the country’s premier agribusiness event. Started in 1994, this edition will be tenth in the series, the most far- reaching yet, in terms of technology display, awareness creation and agri commerce. The previous edition, Agro Tech 2010, also achieved tremendous agribusiness success. Supported by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, it saw participation from 9 countries, apart from major Indian agri corporates. Involvement of various Indian
state governments and nodal agencies as well as foreign delegations and business visitors translated into important business deals and ventures. Aiming at being the focus of all agri activity from 1-4 December 2012, this mega event, with its new shows and features, will offer brilliant business opportunities to the technology holders as well as practical learning to the technology users. The show will be formally inaugurated by Sharad Pawar, Union Agriculture Minister. The concurrent events are International Exposition on Agri Commerce Technology, 10th International Exposition on Farm Machinery & Equipment, International Exposition on Processed & Packaged Food, International Exposition on Food Processing Technology, Equipment & Logistics & Equipment, International Exposition on Agri Inputs and Farming Techniques, International Exposition on Agri & Farm Implements, International Exposition on Livestock Management, International Exposition on Sugar, Co-Generation & Distillation Sugar Manufacturing Technology & Equipment, International Exposition on Farm Water Resources Management.

NABARD Gives Awards to Rural Innovators
to recognise and reward all those unsung heroes whose innovations have the potential to change the face of rural India. These people and organisations have taken up the onus to think about ways to better the daily lives of those living in rural India. The chief guests of the awards ceremony were Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram and Union Minister for Rural Development Jairam Ramesh. Chidambaram lauds NABARD P Chidambaram expressed his views on this unique initiative and said, “I am happy to be back in the NABARD family. It is a particularly proud moment that NABARD completes 30 years and to mark the 30th year, it has instituted these awards for innovation. 30 years in the life of an institution is not a very long period and NABARD has, during this period, grown and found a place of its own in the Indian economy
and its development process. I can say confidently that NABARD has successfully influenced the thoughts and actions of many stakeholders including those in government in the field of agriculture and rural development and most of the innovative financial products and services developed and mainstreamed over the last 30 years owe their success to the efforts of NABARD either directly or indirectly. I must add that NABARD’s efforts have been helpful in our endeavour to make growth inclusive. Today, we honour innovators. I was truly impressed by what has been accomplished by these innovators. We have here 12 award winners and around 30 deserving candidates who need to be recognised and saluted by this nation. We need to now first help them patent their products and second, help them scale up and replicate their activities. Finally, the message must go far and wide that innovation will be
recognised and rewarded. We must celebrate the true innovators and their innovations. And today is one such day!” Jairam’s inspiring words Jairam Ramesh shared his views on the work that NABARD has been doing for the development of the nation. He said, “This particular series of awards has evoked an extraordinary degree of interest and a large number of people and organisations from different parts of the country have come forward and showcased some very interesting innovations. The big challenge now for us is how to upscale these innovations and use them and disseminate them in a large enough scale and that is where I think banks under the leadership of NABARD will play a very important role. I congratulate NABARD for the pioneering role it has played in recognising these innovations and look forward to working with them and other institutions to see the upscaling and mass replication and dissemination of many of the innovations that are being appreciated, acknowledged and rewarded today.” A total of 12 awards, under 6 different categories, were presented in the awards ceremony. The screening and shortlisting of entries was carried out by external subject experts in association with Ernst and Young. The final awardees were selected out of the 30 shortlisted innovations in six different categories by a panel of expert jury headed by Jairam Ramesh. The categories for NABARD Award for Rural Innovations were Academic/ Research Institution, Individual, NGO/Trust, Private Sector, Public/Cooperative Sector/ Government, and Others. The winner in the Academic/Research Institution category was LV Prasad Eye Institute while the runner-up was Amrita Centre for Wireless Networks and Application. Award Winners In the Individual category, the winner was Roshan Lal Vishwakarma and the runner-up was Pompy Sridhar. As for the NGO/Trust
category, the award was conferred upon Society for Energy, Environment & Development for their exemplary work and the runner-up was Veppamarathupatti Small Farmer’s Welfare Association. In the private sector category, the award was given to Brizz TV Media Labs and the runner-up was Reuters Market Light. Northern Eastern Development Finance Corporation Ltd was the winner in the Public/ Cooperative Sector/Government category and the runner-up was Zilla Sahakari Kendriya Bank, Balaghat. Lastly, in the ‘Others’ category, Karunakara M Reddy was the winner while the runner-up was Chintakindi Mallesham. Chairman’s Address On the occasion, Dr Prakash Bakshi, Chairman, NABARD, said, “It is not an accident that NABARD, as part of its 30th anniversary celebrations, decided to institute these awards. The fact is that this is just a continua tion of the original innovation - creation of NABARD itself. Even the list of innovations from NABARD is almost unending - Self-Help Groups-BankLinkage programme, cyclical credit for rain-fed areas, joint liability groups of marginal and small farmers, participatory ways of designing and executing watersheds, flexi-credit through KCC and linking KCC to mobile phones and Aadhaar database, etc. - all of which have impacted rural lives significantly. NABARD Award for Rural Innovations is a step further in that direction. For this year’s award, 1,470 nomina tions were received and we are thankful to Hon’ble Minister for Rural Development Shri Jairam Ramesh for his guidance and time in the screening process. By recognising 12 innovations, we are sowing the seeds of ingenuity, which will harvest successive crops of innovations, to improve the quality of life in rural India. Here I must mention that NABARD’s role will continue further. In collaboration with these innovators, we would invest our financial and human re sources to adapt and scale these innovations across the country wherever they can be helpful in improving rural livelihoods and quality of life.”

UP Govt waives Rs. 1,650-cr farm loans on Mulayam’s b’day Rs 500 crore has already been earmarked from the budget for it, he said. Akhilesh also said he would shortly announce the state advisory price for sugarcane. However, he remained silent on loan waiver for farmers from other government-run banks, especially those in the backward Bundelkhand region, that do not issue loans against property. 7.2 lakh farmers who’ve taken loans of up to 50,000 from rural cooperative banks will benefit from the UP loan waiver announced on Mulayam’s birthday. Farmers who have deposited at least 10% of the amount by March 31 will not have to pay any further. CM Akhilesh remains silent on loan waiver for farmers from other government-run banks, especially those in the backward Bundelkhand region By applying conditions, CM Akhilesh Yadav has whittled down the largesse which otherwise would have cost his government a staggering 14,000 crore.
By applying conditions in the farm loan waiver, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav has whittled down the largesse which otherwise would have cost his state government a staggering Rs 14,000 crore. But in the process, farmers in the state’s endemically backwards regions like Bundelkhand will gain little from the waiver. Reacting to the government’s decision, Kisan Jagriti Manch (KJM), a farmer group in Uttar Pradesh, said the waiver would benefit a sizeable population of small and marginal farmers who take loans from rural cooperative banks but added that this wasn’t enough. “Rs 1,650 crore is insufficient for the loan waiver scheme considering the large numbers of indebted farmers in Uttar Pradesh. The benefit of the loan waiver scheme should be extended also to those farmers who took loans from scheduled banks in the form of crop loans,” said Kisan Jagriti Manch chief Sudhir Panwar.

griculture Secretary Ashish Bahuguna said slow start in sowing of wheat, the main rabi crop, is unlikely to affect production this year. While sowing in rabi (winter) season starts from October, the harvesting of crops is undertaken during March-April. “Wheat sowing started on a slow note mainly because of delayed harvest of kharif crops especially paddy. Sowing of wheat would gather pace in the coming days and production will be sufficient this year,” Bahuguna said. Harvesting of paddy has been delayed because the southwest monsoon picked up pace only during the second half of the June to September season, he said. Till last week, the coverage of wheat was down by 22 per cent to 2.18 million hectare, an official data showed. The Secretary said there is sufficient seeds and other farm inputs like fertilisers for the farmers during the rabi season. Asked whether wheat production could reach the last year’s record 93.90 million tonnes, he said: “Last year was an exceptional year. I
am confident of good production sufficient to meet domestic demand and supply and some surplus.” The Agriculture Ministry has kept the wheat production target at 86 million tonnes for the current year. Besides wheat, oilseeds, pulses and some coarse cereals are other crops sown during the rabi season.
Kerala Vegetables now available in Delhi
K
erala Horticorp inaugurated two mobile vans in Delhi, on November 11, to sell ethnic produce. These go to various colonies at a particular time and day every week. Sivadas, a farmer in Palakkad district, Kerala, is definitely rooting for this initiative. His livelihood depends on it. Thanks to Kerala
State Horticultural Products Development Corporation Limited (Horticorp), he is now able to sell produce from his five-acre vegetable farm to them and fetch greater remuneration. “I used to sell my produce to private traders but would get less money and sometimes suffered losses. But for the last one year, I am getting Rs 2 extra on every kilo I sell. A farmer who sells five tonnes annually thereby makes a profit of Rs 1 lakh,” says Shivdas. While for the last 20 years, Horticorp directly procured from farmers only during the festival season and peak harvest time, it’s now going in for a major expansion plan to other cities. Horticorp has also entered into an agreement with the railways for four metric tonnes of space in the New Delhibound Kerala Express for the same. Most of the items will be non-perishable such as honey, spices, payasam mixes, pickles, chips, coconuts, yam and tubers, while veggies will be those that can be stored for a week such as jackfruit, bread fruit, pineapples, bananas, tapioca, coconuts and drumsticks. Mumbai and other Indian cities too will be brought within its ambit and by December, there are plans to furrow into the UAE market too. Shivdas already has plans to bring one acre under cultivation every year. Farmers across Kerala have come up with proposals to increase the area under vegetable cultivation, says Manoj Kurup, MD, Horticorp. “We expect this area to go up 2-3 times more,” he says. This is how it works. Earlier, farmers would bring their produce either to Horticorp’s 10 district procurement centres, six wholesale agriculture markets owned by the Department of Agriculture or to farmers’ markets called Karshaka Vipani, managed by the Vegetable and Fruit Promotion Council, Kerala, where they were auctioned. But from July, under the guidance of agriculture minister K P Mohanan, Horticorp started bidding for these vegetables. Farmers’ clusters were formed in places as remote as Munnar and the produce collected by Horticorp. It now plans to increase its district procurement centres in four more districts. While Horticorp has 150 outlets in Kerala, including 20 mobile units, it has initiated 500 franchisee outlets in the state. It’s a win-win formula for both farmers and consumers. Horticorp has also changed unfair trade practices.

Towards a new future Historically, we produced technologically superior tractors. But somehow the JV with MAN took a toll on this also. We went down to about 600 tractors in 2009-10. It was slightly better in 2010-11, where we sold 1,000. This year, we have sold about 1,700 until recently. We expect to touch 3,000. Our market share is less than one per cent. We are not selling pan-India but only in seven States including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, MP and Tamil Nadu. First, we need to apologise to customers who had bought in the past and whom we haven’t been able to serve well. So we are concentrating on services. The industry is going down. But we are going up.

areas and not expand much. Second is customer connectivity. Either running repairs or support, we are training mechanics in each area. So rebuilding the confidence of customers is the second step. Third, build our network only in this focus area. We want to expand our network this financial year. That will be only in these seven States. Current Trends India is a market for smaller HP tractors, that is, tractors below 50HP. Majority of the business is in the 30-40 HP segment. Nevertheless, the market for the upper variants has started growing. Also, tractorisation is growing. This means, you need products for preparing the seed bed before the sowing of the crop, for seeding and third, harvesting. In that, tractors are mainly used in seed bed preparation and transportation. Some tractors are used for crushing, and so on. But use for seed bed preparation has still not caught up in India.
IMPROVED POWER S. Sridhar, Chief Executive Officer of Escorts Agri Machinery, said the new range developed by the research and development teams, stand for improved power and lower fuel consumption. These tractors offer about 10-15 per cent saving on diesel alone. “Having extensively tested tractors for puddling operations in paddy fields in South, we are now launching them. Tractors normally need to use Cage Iron Wheels for usage in paddy fields. But these new tractors, even though heavy, feature four-wheel drive and thereby help the farming community,” he explained. The new tractors come in 37 hp, 41 hp and 45 hp categories and are priced at Rs 4.9-5.8 lakh. Shenu Agarwal, Head, Marketing, said tractors are now seen as income generators with their versatile nature, where farmers and

owners use it not only for their own operations, but lend them and make money. The savings and improved efficiency add to their income generation capability. MANUFACTURING CAPACITY With a manufacturing capacity of 1,00,000 tractors, Escorts is looking at increasing its market share from 12 per cent with the launch of new models. The company, which logged a turnover of Rs 3,000 crore last year in a market of Rs 25,000 crore, sold 63,000 units. The market for tractors is sluggish but is expected to get better. Escorts is seeking to up the market share with new range, they said.

CACP suggests 10% import duty on pulses
T
Coming Soon
Out of Stock
he Commission for Agriculture Costs and Prices (CACP) has suggested 10 per cent import duty on pulses to encourage domestic production. It has also recommended opening up of pulses exports to create a neutral trade policy. Currently, there is no duty on import of pulses, while exports of many pulses are banned. Terming the restrictive exports and duty-free imports as pro-consumer, CACP in its latest report, ‘Price Policy for Rabi Crops’, said such a policy was not in the interest of producers. CACP says that imposing 10 per cent duty on imports would enhance domestic output by bringing more irrigated areas under pulses. Indirectly, such a move would result in saving on fertiliser subsidy as pulses are nitrogen fixing and help in stabilising production. Largest Importer Further, the levy of import duty would help contain the rising import bill on pulses. India imported pulses worth Rs 8,767 crore or $1.8 billion in 2011-12, an increase of 16.4 per cent over the previous year. India is the largest producer, importer and consumer of pulses. The country has been importing 2-3 million tonnes every year for the past few years. The country has prohibited export of pulses till March 2013, but the ban does not apply to kabuli chana or chickpea, whose exports were freed back in March 2007. In addition, the ban on export of pulses does not apply to the overseas annual shipments of 10,000 tonnes of organic pulses and lentils. India produced 17 million tonnes of pulses in 2011-12. This crop year, kharif output of pulses is projected to decline to 5.26 million tonnes against 6.16 million tonnes last season on account of delayed monsoon hitting output in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan.

Interests of farming community are paramount, says Primal Oswal A new Executive Council of the Irrigation Association of India (IAI) has recently been selected for the year 2012-14. Primal Oswal, MD of Harvel Agua India Pvt. Ltd. has been nominated as the President of the Association. In a brief chat with AgriTech India, he talks about his farmer-friendly missions as the new president of IAI, and Harvel’s future plans, among other things. Excerpts: First of all we congratulate you for becoming the new President of Indian Association of Irrigation (IAI). The general understanding about IAI, founded years back, is that it is only a body working for lobbying with government. As the newly elected president, can you please explain this and upcoming plans of the association? Thanks a lot, it’s definitely an honor and gives me an opportunity to share my experiences of over three decades in the irrigation field with my industry colleagues. The general perception of IAI merely being an irrigation industry lobbying tool is perhaps not a correct one. Although public relations and lobbying were always a part of democratic set up worldwide, they are still a grey area in India in the absence of any regulatory mechanism. To the extent, it would not be apt to dub IAI as a lobby. However, any formal coming together of entities from a specific field of activity is definitely not in the social realm but must have a purpose which in this case is to share common experiences and problems faced by the industry and find solutions to the same and if that also requires engaging the government on the issues, I see no harm in that. Some of the problems faced by the industry include unavailability of budget during peak seasons, issues of differential pricing and the absence of streamlined processes, which not only hurts the industry but also retards the spread of MIS and consequently the interests of farming community. Together, we shall strive to highlight these vigorously and to which you could add our emphasis on increasing the membership count.
Water management and intelligent use of water are key-words worldwide today. Do you think this is the right time to highlight this important aspect among masses as most of agri/horti crops are under flood irrigation system? That water is a scarce and ever depleting resource was never a secret, it was always known. The realization that water is actually becoming scarcer by the day dawned only recently, relatively speaking and which led those on the forefront to believe that water needs to be managed to prolong its availability. The origin of the key words mentioned by you is probably in that realization. With roughly 4% of known water resources worldwide available in India and a population which constitutes 17% of the humanity on earth, the need or the timing of managing water can never be overemphasized. From the point of view of irrigation industry supporting the endeavour, the area to be brought under Micro Irrigation, which is one of the intelligent ways of utilizing water, is almost 80% of the cultivable land in the country and requires a consistent and focused approach of all stake holders.
upward spiral on a consistent basis so that not only the farming community gets benefitted by technology but ever increasing area is brought under MIS at a faster pace. Ultimately the helping hand of government should correspond to the need for MIS to spread as fast as possible, particularly in light of the enhanced support which is on offer for other industries in the agriculture sector.
In a recently concluded seminar at the Pusa Institute in New Delhi, the former president of the association demanded a budget hike for micro irrigation schemes under NMMI (National Management for Micro Irrigation). Have you already submitted, or do you have plans to submit, your proposal regarding this? The NMMI (National Mission on Micro Irrigation) outlay definitely needs to be on an
Private investments in agri/horti sector are increasing, but the awareness about the modern and innovative products are lacking. Do you have any plan to launch a campaign for the promotion of techniques like greenhouse, drip irrigation, water harvesting, recycling waste water etc? Being a technocrat in the industry we seek your expert views. The need for spreading awareness on innovative products and services on offer,
NMMI under Ministry of Agriculture is working through state government departments and the ultimate beneficiaries are the members of IAI. Can you please share with our readers the state-wise progress in this regard? Saying that the members of IAI are the ultimate beneficiaries of NMMI is too simplistic and ignores ground realities. It also ignores the progress achieved in states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, MP, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, which also answers the second part of the question. In the ultimate analysis, any endeavour is sustainable only if there is a convergence of interests and in this case the objectives of the government and interests of farming community are paramount.
as I have said elsewhere, can never be overemphasized, irrespective of the quantum of private financial involvement in the agri/ horti sector. However, businesses alone cannot be the harbinger of change and expected to lead campaigns of such nature except in their limited spheres. Ultimately, these are issues of national priorities, developing a collective scientific temper and reaping the benefits of technology which requires institutional thrust and socially responsible behavior of citizens including businesses rather than mere promotional activities. Harvel has been active in areas of farm equipments, irrigation and water management solutions, greenhouses and its financing. Can you please elaborate on your company’s future plans to become an end-to-end solution provider to all horticulture and landscaping companies? HARVEL group is presently the only organization in the country which offers customized solutions with perhaps the best technology worldwide in all the four segments of irrigation business, viz; Agriculture (including protected cultivation) Golf, Turf, and Home & Gardens Irrigation. HARVEL’s consolidated structure enables each business to draw its own future and simultaneously leverage synergies across the group’s competencies. The future plans include, among a host of other initiatives, a forward and backward integration in the field of agriculture with the offer of Agronomy services as well as turnkey solutions for intensive and protected cultivation.
