Goyal highlighted India’s potential in agriculture and agro-processing in a recent event. Now, India has diverse agro-climatic zones and vast production capabilities, while there is also no shortage of skilled workforces. This is India’s way of making the path, which will lead to catering to high-quality global food demands. There are also some improvement areas the minister mentioned, such as improving value addition and quality standards. Meanwhile, supply chain mechanisms need to be more advanced to meet international requirements.
Right now, rice, spices, and marine are the top products India is exporting. So, this is the time for diversifying processed foods and ready-to-eat products. This overall approach will help India gain a competitive edge internationally.
This step is not just about moving forward economically but about setting a global reputation when it comes to supplying quality food products worldwide. Now, it is up to policymakers and industry players how they will make this possible.
