The Back Ground

India's food security policy has a laudable objective to ensure availability of food grains to the common people at an affordable price and it has focussed on enabling the poor to have access to food. According to a Study, by 2020 India will have to increase its agricultural output by more than 340 million tonnes in the face of increasing demand by a growing population. Thus, the Second Green Revolution truly has to emerge as a prominent Agricultural Revolution, which will effectively cater to the overall growth of the Agricultural sector, and the Indian economy as a whole. This time there needs to be a rapid change in not only crop yields but also in the other sectors of agriculture that include cash crops, animal husbandry, horticultural products, dairy, fishery. This will truly help India grow and sustain the growth momentum After the successful 2 AGRO PROTECH 2009, the Indian rd Chamber of Commerce is organizing the 3 AGRO rd th PROTECH 2011 - the 3-day mega event from 3 5 November 2011 at Milan Mela Grounds & ITC Sonar, at Kolkata.
