Two-third of India’s population is directly or indirectly engaged in agriculture and allied activities. In fact, agriculture is the key to India’s socio-economic fabric. With world’s second largest arable land mass and diverse agro climatic zones, India's agricultural strength lies in unique mix of abundant natural resources, coupled with low production costs.
India ranks first in the world in production of milk, pulses, jute; second in rice, wheat, sugarcane, groundnut, vegetables, fruits and cotton. In addition, it is a leading producer of spices and plantation crops as well as livestock, fisheries and poultry. With the contribution of about 10 percent of total export earnings, agriculture also occupies important place in country’s trade.
India has the latent potential to become a predominant player in global agriculture production as well as trade. Given the hardworking nature and entrepreneurial zeal of Indian farmers, need of the hour is to provide them exposure to the global best practices and farm technologies.
During the last decade, Gujarat has achieved double digit growth rate in agriculture by moving ahead from traditional farming to value addition. This has created new opportunities into hi-tech agriculture, food & agro processing, dairy and other agriculture activities.
With the objective to sustain the growth momentum in the State and to facilitate the realization of latent potential of agriculture in India, Gujarat is organizing
‘Vibrant Gujarat Global Agriculture Summit’.
This Summit will bring together a large number of progressive farmers from across the country and provide a platform for interaction with thought leaders, policy makers, academia, scientists, investors, technologists, etc.
