Bolstering Value-Added Agri Exports
Food processing involves the conversion of raw agricultural materials into consumable products or the transformation of one type of food into various other forms. This encompasses a wide spectrum of techniques, ranging from grinding grains to produce raw flour, engaging in home cooking, to employing sophisticated industrial methodologies for crafting convenient foods. Considering the fact that India is the world's largest producer of spices, milk and pulses and the second largest producer of tea, sugarcane, food grains, fruits, and vegetables, there has been continuous attention of policymakers to process it for a variety of reasons, reducing food loss and waste, increasing shelf life, enhancing farm’s income, and making food available to India’s growing population at affordable prices.

Impact of Export duty on Onion

The implementation of 40 per cent export duty on onions is poised to discourage certain farmers from planting onions during the current Kharif season. This decision comes after a period of subdued onion prices over the past 18 months, and the move to limit exports aims to prepare for late Kharif onion cultivation. Nationallevel agricultural challenges, including economic recessions, have resulted in significant delays for major Kharif crops. The ongoing drought conditions cast uncertainty over the future cultivation of Rabi (summer) onions. Consequently, farmers will likely be motivated to grow crops that yield immediate financial gains during this crisis.

Reducing Post-Harvest Losses can initiate an Agri Revolution

Can Seed Tech Transform Agri Productivity?

As per a UNICEF study, it is projected that nearly 55 per cent of Asia's population will reside in urban areas by 2030, raising concerns about food security and nutrition. The Asia-Pacific Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2022 focuses on urban food security and nutrition, highlighting how urbanisation, along with an increase in low-income settlements, accompanied by rising food prices is hindering access to healthy diets. The report reveals that nearly two billion people (1.9 billion individuals, which accounts for 44.5 per cent of the region's population) cannot afford a healthy diet in most countries of Asia and the Pacific. This poses significant challenges for agriculture systems to meet the growing demand for food supply. Agriculture remains the backbone of many Asian economies, employing a substantial workforce and making food security a critical issue.
