| Poultry Industry: The Rising Sun.... |
Agriculture is the primary source of income for nearly 70% of the Indian population. Livestock sector alone with its 20% contribution to the agriculture GDP is the backbone of Indian Agro Economy. 8% economic growth rate, billion-plus population and rising purchasing power have contributed immensely to the unparallel rise in demand for agro-based produce.
Sky-rocketing cost of raw materials has led to search for one point solution from farm to fork. Increasing integration with stress on feeding and management to processing, packaging and cold chain maintenance are the need of the day.
Farmers, Scientists, Entrepreneurs, Manufacturers & Policy Makers need to be well informed about the latest updates of the Industry and know-how to produce improved and high quality products to compete with international market. ILDEX INDIA 2009 shall provide a common platform for all these. |
