Make in India: An Agricultural Perspective
Beginning this year, the Indian government is trying to create a unique brand which will be called “Make in India” which can be applied to 25 sectors such as space, tourism and hospitality, wellness, and many more. Food processing is also one the area of focus. Advantages of development in the food processing sector will better marketing with promotion of contract farming, reducing of food waste and loss at each stage, work with farmer producer organizations with the involvement of smallholders, availability in food for prolonged periods of time (and out of peak season), generation of jobs in the service sector, and increasingly organized formal markets for commodities such as milk which is desperately needed.
