How We Can Tackle Counterfeiting and Raise Agricultural Integrity
Agriculture remains the backbone of India's economy, underpinning food security, farmer livelihoods, and rural growth. Yet the rapid spread of counterfeit agrochemicals—particularly pesticides—has emerged as a serious and largely invisible threat. Estimates suggest that fake products may account for up to 30–40 per cent of the market, eroding crop yields, degrading soil health and undermining farmer confidence. Beyond economic losses, counterfeiting weakens trust across agricultural value chains and threatens India's credibility as a reliable food producer, making urgent action on authentication and traceability essential.

Why Trade Secrets Matter More Than Patents for India's Seed Companies
For India’s agritech and seed companies, trade secret protection is becoming an increasingly strategic tool for safeguarding competitive advantage. Much of the sector's value is rooted in confidential breeding expertise, in-house analytics, proprietary genetic resources, and specialised production know-how - assets that traditional IP frameworks such as patents or plant variety protection rarely protect adequately, leaving businesses exposed. As the industry scales amid statutory exceptions and exclusions, market expansion, counterfeit risks, and growing export aspirations, the ability to manage and secure sensitive information is evolving into a critical business capability. Companies that integrate structured trade secret governance into their broader IP and commercial strategies are better positioned to protect high-value R&D, maintain differentiation in a crowded market, and convert long-term research efforts into sustained business value.

The draft has elicited varied responses from industry, farmers' organisations, and other stakeholders, reflecting both opportunities and concerns associated with the proposed reforms.

Dairy Technology: Big Potential, Slow Uptake
The Indian dairy sector has been undergoing a far more consequential transformation, from a volume-driven ecosystem to a technology-led, science-backed, and innovation-oriented industry.

With technology in hand, the next phase of growth is touted to be a game-changer for the dairy industry. However, these technologies come at a cost, and how far they can penetrate dairy farmers in remote areas remains a question.
