A perspective on agricultural and tradeissues of India ….Indian Agriculture – An Overview…Challenges facing Indian agriculture & Syngenta’s contribution…Slide2
Some facts….
By 2050
global population will rise to 9 billion….out of which
1.7 billion
will be in India alone
Total calorie requirement will go up from
2495 to 3000
Food grain production would need to increase by 5.5 MT annually
Demand for high-value food commodities will go up by > 100% due to migration of people into cities, increased wealth, shift towards diets rich in protein
Currently..52% of our population is involved in Agriculture.... yet it contributes just 13.7% to India’s GDPSlide3

Growing resource constraints
Much of India’s total arable area already in use (46%)
Most remaining land has serious soil and terrain constraintsSlide4
There is also the problem of….Decreasing size of landholdingSlide5
And the degradation of the production environment….Slide6

Indian AgricultureIndia agriculture has an extensive background which goes back to 10 thousand years. At present, in terms of agricultural production, the country holds the second position all over the world.Indian Agriculture has made rapid strides since independence;From food shortages and import
to self-sufficiency and exports.
From subsistence farming
to intensive and technology led cultivation.
Today , India is the front ranking
producer of many crops in the world.
Ushered in through the green, white, blue and yellow revolutionsSlide9

GroMore – Summary of “ Grower feedback”
Nursery in beds
is meaningful
Line
transplantation
helped in aeration
of crop hence less
pests/Disease
& Agri.ops are easyReduced Fertilizer inputsActara drench gives lush-green-healthy
seedlings. One line off is goodThionutri at 15 DAT gives more tillers
Not only preached but practiced too. GroMore Plot is like
garden – Everyone
stops to see.
Liako prophylactic
is unique.
Fellow farmers who
made fun of us are now appreciating.More hills/Sq. Meter will yield more.Uniform crop emergence/tillering.Had to spend Rs.800 on manual
weeding in my plotThe only company having complete solution. Slide30
GroMore is a dream harvest for farmers !!
Early Harvesting - GroMore harvesting is early by 15 days , means will be able to advance sowing of Rabi crop for a better harvest .
Better Output Price – because of better quality GroMore crop fetching min 22 $ /MT means 9% higher than farmer practice

We feel good to attend such knowledge dissemination meetings
By this unique story telling you are not only doing verbal education of rice cultivation but also demonstrating it in farmer fields….is commendable .
Syngenta rice team team was recognized in annual PAU Kissan expo.
I would like to thank Syngenta rice team for this kind of Unique initiative in our developing area of Rice.Slide32
Global Nuffield farming Scholars from Canada/Ireland/New-Zealand & Australia (Guests at PAU Kisan Mela) have seen GroMore Rice Plots
“PAU & Syngenta have jointly taken a good initiative with Rice project This will surely enhance rice productivity. Farmer will surely get a yield increase of 20-30%.”
Brenda
Schlepp 2012 Scholar

“It is seen first time the way farmers are being advise in such a good manner.”
Jemma
Sadler 2012 Scholar , Wongan Hills in Western Australia,
“It is amazing to see the difference between the GroMore Rice Plot & Farmer practice field .The GroMore Plot is completely free of pest & Farmer Practices was fully damage with pest” Robin Schaefer,
Loxton in South Australia “Hopes of new revolution will come in future with the increase of plant population /m² More Seedling …More crop/YieldGood initiative. Keep it
