Globalization of Indian Agriculture offers both, the opportunities as well as the challenges to the policy makers. There does exist opportunities for deriving benefits through massive increase of export of high value labour intensive allied agricultural products. The challenge lies in generating this surplus through increased public and private investments in research and development, new technology development and market infrastructure improvement. These and affiliated forces of changes are placing significant demand for managerial skills in agriculture based and related businesses (agribusiness).

Identifying and seizing opportunities, however, requires an up-to-date awareness about industry developments as well as a sound understanding of the societal and environmental impacts of every action taken. With the agribusiness industry expanding beyond food to energy, industrial products and pharmaceuticals, the need for innovations has less emphasized. In response, organizations are making bold moves as they strive to operate differently and to do what is right… there is a felt need to inculcate and develop proactive thinking and proper planning for charting the road map of the future.
