PURA – As Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam calls it


The yield gap in crops in India, compared to best in the world, is due to four broad factors

Technology deficit Investment deficit Infrastructure deficit

Managerial deficit

Agriculture holds the Key- But


Need for Professional Management Professionalizing entire chain of agriculture

tremendously increased farmers share of consumer price.

Evidence for the above comes from some success stories - sugar, dairy, poultry and aquaculture.

In these commodities, share of consumer price passed onto farmers is as high as 90% in the case of poultry eggs, 70% in dairy sector; 60% in sugar


Agribusiness Professionals Can Make a Difference to Farmers’ Income

World class ware houses along with trading thr’ warehouse receipts to help farmers tide over seasonality

Reforming and modernizing agriculture marketing facilities

Food parks Innovations in farming – contract, contact and

cooperative farming

These help small and marginal farmers to join the “Ever Green Revolution” as Dr. Swaminathan dreams


Government’s Innovative Programmes in Agriculture Need Agribusiness Professionals

Agribusiness Professionals needed to meet huge consumption demand in India

According to recent Knowledge Commission Report, there are nearly 1700 general management schools in the country, producing more than 1,00,000 MBAs/ PGDMs every year

As against this, there are less than 25 agribusiness schools in the country producing less than 1,000 graduates per annum

Out of these 25, there are no exclusive agribusiness schools. There are only two institutes offering agribusiness programmes in the Andhra Pradesh – both of them as part of their many other programmes.


Agribusiness Education in India

All that means that there is a

HUGE GAPbetween the demand and supply
