Agriculture and Allied Sector

Having over 1000 global agriculture consulting cases and 50% of the top food additive companies as our clients, our team comprises individuals with relevant industry experience, thus forming the basis of our sound technical advisory practice.

Our Agriculture practice provides consultancy services in sectors such as food processing, commodity trading, agricultural credit, irrigation, integrated resource management, farm inputs and Agri-infrastructure, helping organizations meet the challenges and prosper in the industry.

Agriculture impacts a vast array of industries and systems encompassing the production, financing, processing, marketing, and distribution of agricultural commodities including food, fiber, wood products, horticultural crops, and other plant and animal products. Being the primary source of livelihood for more than half of the population in India, it makes the country one of the world’s largest agricultural producers by value.

Due to Green Revolution, digital innovation, foreign investment, government support in forestry sector and increased investment in agricultural infrastructure such as irrigation facilities, warehousing and cold storage, the Indian agriculture industry is flourishing. 

The introduction of digital technology in precision agriculture has changed the way farmers handle crops and manage fields in recent years. It is not necessary to be an expert to realize how technology has transformed farming, making it more profitable, efficient, safe, and simple. Innovation such as GIS software and GPS agriculture, Drone and other aerial imagery, Farming software and online data, Satellite imagery and Merging datasets are helping farmers yield high profits. 

As a result, the ever-evolving digital agriculture provides considerable benefits to modern farms. Reduced water, nutrient, and fertilizer use, reduced negative influence on the surrounding environment, reduced chemical runoff into local groundwater and rivers, improved efficiency, lower costs, and so on are just a few of the advantages. Farmers are changing agricultural systems and shifting from contemporary agriculture to sustainable agriculture by turning farms completely high-tech from robotic milking machines to data-gathering drones and using micro-irrigation technique to save water. 

Indian farmers' yields are anticipated to improve with the growing usage of genetically modified crops. Due to a concerted effort by scientists to get early maturing types of pulses and a rise in the minimum support price, India is anticipated to become self-sufficient in pulses in the future years.

Agro-climatic conditions and high proportion of agricultural land encourage cultivation of different crops giving India a competitive advantage. The industry is set for further growth as household incomes, food processing, agricultural exports and demand for agricultural inputs such as hybrid seeds, fertilizers, allied services like warehousing and cold storages increase.

INDIA - 10th largest arable land resource in the world accounts for 7.39% of the global agricultural output

• Robust demand: Rising population and income growth is contributing to the increase in demand 
• Increasing supply: Hybrid and genetically modified seeds with favorable climate for agriculture and wide variety of crops
• Government Policy Support: Growing institutional credits and introduction of new schemes by the Government. Farmers receive subsidies for water, electricity, agricultural equipment, fertilizers, hybrid seeds, and other items. Agriculture income is exempted from taxation under the Indian Income Tax Act.
• Logistics Support: Cold storage facilities, warehouses and initiatives such as Kisan Rath (mobile app for farmers, FPOs and traders)

Certain farming practices cause environmental degradation including climate change, deforestation, irrigation problems, soil degradation, biodiversity loss and waste having a negative impact on the environment. Feeding an ever-increasing global population while decreasing environmental impact and maintaining natural resources for future generations is a major issue for agricultural sector.

Droughts, livestock diseases, international trade conflicts, and population movement from rural to urban regions have all exacerbated intractable difficulties across the country, necessitating further government aid. To solve this problem, the Government has proposed a number of incentives and schemes such as Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana to help develop organic clusters, ensure availability of chemical-free inputs to farmers and make India self sufficient in food grain production.   

New Farm Laws have been introduced to help farmers get better returns as these regulations allow the farmers to sell their produce outside the government-controlled marketing yards such as Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) regulated markets. 

To ensure the quality and health of seeds, seed testing laboratories have been set up in India under the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India. Other initiatives include creating hubs for hi-tech farm equipment and financial assistance for farmers to buy machinery and support industry growth. 

With the current scenario, there is a huge scope for foreign companies to expand in India. Agriculture companies will need to operate with vision, discipline, and agility in the next decades to feed the world's population. We can assist you in overcoming any problem, including the ones that are still unforeseen.

We at Corpseed understand that companies are working in a complex business, where competition for alternative fuel sources is fierce. Governmental regulations can change and contradict each other, often threatening to suppress yield and disrupt trade but we help identify the challenges so that companies do not have to navigate these issues alone.

It is more critical than ever to maximize yields and streamline operating model with the rising global demand and limited arable land. We specialize in helping you achieve a self-reinforcing cycle of discipline that merges operational excellence, capital productivity, commercial excellence, technology and data, and organizational capabilities.

Our global network of specialists will provide you with the most up-to-date information on regenerative and green agriculture and allied sectors, alternative protein, fermentation, and plant-based protein synthesis. We can help you seize possibilities linked to fertilizers, equipment, and biofuels with our extensive knowledge across the whole agricultural value chain.
