Agripreneurship

EasyChair Preprint 3488

Abstract

India’s Economy is predominantly agricultural. More than 65% of Indian population (directly or indirectly) depends upon agriculture for their livelihood and funds to 16–17% of the GDP of our country.

India being primarily agricultural, hence Agripreneurs play very important role in the agricultural value chain. They add value and contribute significantly in increasing the agricultural GDP but the very insufficient growth rate in agricultural sector has been a challenge for rural development in India. The majority of population living in rural area are unable to reap the benefits of the developmental schemes offered by the Government.

The agricultural markets across the globe are witnessing a massive change. The international trade of agricultural products is increasing. The global market system is growing in larger proportions. Local smaller farms and farmers are competing against some of the world’s largest agricultural corporations. Small farmers are trying to commercialize their produce without great success. They need more of production systems for increasing their production line but are unable to do so due to lack of larger production equipment and facilities.

Keyphrases: Agri-business, Agriculture, Agripreneruship, Entrepreneurship
