Transforming the Agro Supply Chains of India:The Entrepreneurial Way

摘要

Agriculture is a time-honored sector of India, which alone has the potential that can help the country top the charts. The sector possesses such capability that it can not only serve the country's need, but also generate surplus that can help earn mammoth revenues from around the world. In spite of the natural advantages and enough potential, its strength remains untapped and it has not been able to attain the scale it was meant to at the time of independence. Right from the production to the final consumption, there is a need of promoting entrepreneurial spirit for the supply of agro products that can help make the most of the sector. Being one of the fastest growing countries with more than 50% of youth population, India needs to harness its hidden talent. Also, the markets need to be stimulated to create greater job opportunities within the agro value chain. The paper discusses in detail the supply chain issues faced by the sector and the overhauling role the entrepreneurial talent lying in the young India can play in improving the situation both for the sector individually and the country as a whole.
