The success of agriculture and the allied sectors depends on the policies formulated by the Governments, which regulate markets, pricing of inputs and outputs. ICFA focuses on research based policy advocacy and development agenda.
The agriculture and food sector is vastly diverse and is now globally integrating. Policies, trade, technologies, and markets around the world are advancing at a fast pace. These advancements need to be studied and monitored, and their implications need to be analysed and shared with the farmers, governments, and other key stakeholders.
India has a very vast and diverse food production system, with numerous varieties of animals and crops that are available in any other part of the world. However, India’s contribution in the global food and agriculture trade is minimal. ICFA aims to boost this contribution through trade and agribusiness promotion.
With the globalization of trade and economies and the emerging challenges concerning trade and climate change, there is a need for collective efforts and cooperation towards addressing these issues. ICFA aims to bring all the key stakeholders on one platform to deliberate on potential solutions.
Our goal is to foster a vibrant ecosystem that supports the entrepreneurial spirit of agri-based startups by providing them with the necessary resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to thrive in today's competitive market. Through our comprehensive startup incubation programs, we offer tailored support to help transform groundbreaking ideas into successful enterprises.
ICFA's track record speaks volumes about our efficiency and effectiveness. We have a strong network of industry experts, seasoned professionals, and renowned thought leaders who collaborate closely with startups to provide invaluable guidance and expertise. Our deep understanding of the agricultural landscape and market dynamics enables us to assist clients in navigating challenges, identifying growth opportunities, and forging strategic partnerships.
Indian agriculture lacks professional services right from GAP certification to farm management and agribusinesses to delivery of programs and schemes. ICFA dedicatedly works to address this issue by providing a platform for the farmers to connect them with services, technologies, and national and global markets.
