Reimagining Horticulture: Fresh Fruits and Vegetables - Accessing technology, finance, and market
AgriTech startups are keen to capitalize on the huge potential of the Indian agricultural sector. Startups are developing customised solutions to relieve farmers facing high complexity and increasing ease of farming operations. Capital from supportive venture capital firms have encouraged these strides in innovation.
There is immense potential in the horticulture domain, for value-added products to meet the demand for personalized, on-demand & ready-to-eat food, with increasing awareness on health and sustainability - nationally and internationally.
It is only through a holistic and collaborative effort that we will be able to shift the paradigm into one where farmers and consumers benefit from healthier, fresher and more diverse food choices.
Join us on the 29th of August for an exciting discussion with industry experts on what can be done to increase access to technology, finance and market across the entire value chain.
