INDIAN AGRO CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
Indian economy continues to be heavily dependent on agriculture. Despite all the advances made in the manufacturing and the services sector like IT and BPO, a full quarter or 25% of the GDP still comes from agriculture. The reliance is in fact deeper.

Mazumdar – Executive Director, Syngenta Crop Protection Ltd., India & Chairman, Crop Life India, Mumbai, India.
FOOD RETAILING: THE ROAD AHEAD
Organized retailing in the last decade has emerged as the sunrise industry in India. Globally, retailing is done in a more organized way than it is done in India. We are the nation of budding shopoholics. This is particularly important for the agricultural sector. Organized retailing will deliver an efficient farm – to - fridge supply chain wherein, the farmers will get a better return and the consumers will get products at a reasonable price.

SCOPE FOR SOYBEAN IN INDIAN FOOD INDUSTRY
Soybean is one of the very few plants that provide a high quality protein with minimum saturated fat. Soybeans help people feel better and livelonger with an enhanced quality of life. And in a country like India where majority of the population is vegetarian it is a product that can be put to great use. The product's hydration properties are ideal for a wide range of food applications. The product is bland and blends itself with the other ingredients to which it is added…says Dr. Suresh Itapu, Technical Director – Human Nutrition of American Soybean Association, New Delhi, India.
INDIAN OILS AND OILSEED INDUSTRY: AN OVERVIEW
Indian Oilseed sector has not been able to live up to the promise shown a decade ago. The growth in oilseed production has remained stagnant and the imports of edible oils have been on the rise. Liberalization of economy has exposed the shortcomings of Indian oilseed (and processing) sector, which has not kept pace with the technological advances. Strengthening cultivation of oilseeds, increased funding for developmental plans, encouraging the private sector to go in for backward linkages, appropriate policy initiatives keeping intact the interests of various stakeholders stand as the need of the hour…says Mr. Nagraj Meda, Managing Director of TransGraph Consulting, Hyderabad, India.
