A compendium of various perspectives on Food & Agribusiness was released at the conclave by the Chief Guest, Secretary, Union Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Government of India, Shri Ashok Sinha. Prof Abhijit Sen, Member, Planning Commission, Government of India was the Guest of Honour. The event witnessed the presence of thought leaders, policymakers, opinion leaders, corporate executives and independent experts in the field of agriculture.
Attended by over 200 delegates, the day-long conclave featured two high-profile panel discussions on “Role of Private Sector in Enhancing Food Security” and “Achieving Food Security by Building an Efficient Agri Supply Chain”.
Speaking on the occasion, Rana Kapoor, Founder, Managing Director & CEO, YES BANK said “It is a privilege for Yes Bank to be associated with a prestigious media house like The Hindu Business Line. Together we are committed to the cause of bridging the gaps that exist in the agribusiness sector. Through this event YES BANK has attempted not only to identify and enumerate various agriculture sector related issues, but also suggests ways and means to overcome the structural and other limitations faced by India’s agriculture sector. We truly believe, the sector has the potential to transform India into a leading agro economy of the world.”
Mr. K. Venugopal, Joint Editor, The Hindu Business Line said, “Business Line has been actively supportive of agribusiness development in the country ever since it started publication in 1994. Being the first business newspaper to devote an entire page to agribusiness, it has tried to bridge the vast information deficit that has bedeviled Indian farming and the business that builds on it. Our partnership with Yes Bank has enabled us to enlarge our presentation, and our contribution to the development of this sector.”
