India’s food and agriculture pain points
Agriculture is one of the main sectors within the Indian Economy and the primary income generator for a majority
of Indian households. Yet, due to a combination of poor infrastructure, supply chain practices, and a reliance on
manual farming methods, India is unable to meet both local and international demands for agricultural output.
