| |MARCH 20215Being the backbone of Indian economy, agriculture has been contributing immensely to the GDP of the country. However, as it evolves with technological advancements, achieving optimal efficiency is becoming an art very few are adept at. This has created a market for consulting in the sector wherein professionals can lend their expertise, helping the agriculture enterprise thrive. India currently represents the world's largest producers of many fresh fruits and vegetables, major spices, selected fibrous crops such as jute, several staples such as millets and castor oil seed. It is also the second largest producer of wheat and rice, the world's major food staples. Currently, India ranks within the world's five largest producers of over 80 per cent of agricultural items, including many cash crops such as coffee and cotton. Given its scale, an agricultural venture team might be heavy on farmers and others who have immense practical experience but do not always have the necessary technical or management expertise. Although there has been a strong support from the Indian government in driving the farm production, when it comes to execution, the need for consultants becomes evident. Currently, a number of subsidies and incentives are provided by the Indian government for various agriculture related products like fertilizers, seeds, agricultural equipments etc. As a result of increasing farm mechanization, increasing usage of fertilizers, increasing usage of efficient seeds, etc. the average crop yield is expected to increase continuously. Then there is the allied sector which includes services like food processing, production selling of farming equipment, fertilizers, pesticides, and farming vehicles, and more.
