Phygital Tech-based & Policy-driven Strategy for AGRI SUPPLY CHAIN
Agricultural supply chains and global trade flows have grown substantially, driven by technological progress, trade liberalisation, and rising global demand. Major producing and importing countries dominate these flows, with commodity crops and high-value products such as fruits and nuts leading this growth. However, geopolitical tensions, protectionist policies, and supply chain disruptions pose significant challenges to stability and market access, particularly for developing countries. Innovations in digital trade facilitation and proactive policies for smallholders offer pathways to enhance sustainability and resilience in global agricultural trade. This dynamic landscape requires ongoing policy attention to balance trade liberalisation, sustainability goals, and social inclusion to ensure global food security and economic development

China's Attempted Strategic Squeeze

In the swirling eddies of global trade, few relationships are as complex—and as consequential— as that between India and China.

"To guarantee that farmers.conform to regulations, employing organisations need to implement severe quality control methods"

The National Livestock Mission is one of several government programmes aimed at raising livestock productivity. In line with government objectives, contract farming allows farmers to secure guaranteed prices and markets. The Model Contract Farming Act is one example of a reform that seeks to establish fair and open standards for contract farming. In India contract livestock farming is a boon for both farmers and agribusinesses, signalling a sea change in the agricultural industry. This approach is poised to become a fundamental component of India's agricultural economy in 2025 and beyond by guaranteeing financial security for farmers and catering to the increasing demand for animal products. To get a more detailed view of the contract livestock farming sector in India, AgroSpectrum had an exclusive conversation with Shan Kadavil, Co-Founder of Fresh to Home. The company posted a yearly revenue run rate of around Rs 850 crore in FY 2024. Compared to their FY23 revenue of about Rs 110.3 crore, which resulted in a loss of Rs 409.5 crore, this was a huge increase. These figures indicate that the contract livestock farming sector is transforming the business operations. Edited excerpts:

What to Expect from Rs 2,400 Cr Startup- Government Partnerships

When the Union Cabinet approved the Rs 2,400 crore annual outlay for the PM Dhan Dhaanya Krishi Yojana (PM-DDKY) earlier this year, it wasn't just an economic allocation—it was a strategic intervention for districts that have historically struggled with agricultural stagnation. Spread across 100 of India’s most underperforming agricultural districts and extending over a six-year timeframe, the scheme aims to reverse systemic deficits in productivity, irrigation, market access, and income stability.

India's Tryst with Agri Robotics

Robotics and digital tools are slowly transforming the way farming is done. Robots are now being used for tasks like sowing seeds, spraying fertilisers, removing weeds, and even harvesting. These machines help save time, reduce manual work, and improve accuracy. At the same time, Al-based systems are making it easier to predict crop yields, monitor weather changes, and monitor crop health.

Reassessing India’s Bt Cotton Journey

India adopted Bt cotton in 2002 with hopes of transforming its pest-ravaged, low-yield cotton sector. At first, the technology appeared revolutionary-cotton yields increased, bollworm-related pesticide use dropped, and India rapidly rose to become the world's top cotton producer and exporter. By 2014, more than 90% of India's cotton acreage was planted with Bt hybrids, reflecting enthusiastic farmer adoption.

Unlocking Regenerative Agriculture with Saguna Regenerative Technique

In the face of climate change, soil degradation, and unsustainable farming systems, the Saguna Regenerative Technique (SRT) is emerging as a game-changer for Indian agriculture. Developed by Saguna Rural Foundation at Saguna Baug SRT is a zero-till, no-burn, residue-retaining method that enhances soil health, boosts yields, and significantly reduces the carbon footprint of farming. While its benefits to farmers are well-documented, the technique also opens up a transformative set of opportunities for industries, innovators, and sustainable supply chains.

Enhancing shrimp production with pre-, pro- or postbiotics

The animal feed industry has long explored the benefits of yeast and bacteria - either as parts or in their complete form - to enhance animal production. Since the 1960s, probiotics and prebiotics have been primarily used to improve performance, such as live yeast supplementation to boost milk production in dairy cows, or mitigate the effects of many pathogens; for instance, β-glucans stimulate macrophage phagocytic activity or mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) agglutinating type I fimbriae bacteria to prevent their adhesion to intestinal cells.
