Rabi season

Hello Readers, We all know the end of monsoon and winter is going to start nowadays we watch the monsoon shift for 1 month. I saw this thing continuously for the last 3 years. Rabi season means season of mustard, wheat and gram major and all some vegetables onion, okra and green peas etc . Wheat is a majorly grown field crop in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab Haryana, Bihar mean North and central India. Seeds companies are also aggressively working in this segment. Every seed company has their own research varieties that claim higher yields at lower cost. Some companies offer buyback options.  Major seeds companies are  Mahabeej, Ankur seed, Ajeet Seed, Egle seeds, DCM Shriram, etc. Some multinationals are also entering this segment like Syngenta. Top variety of wheat in India is  HI-8759 (Pusa Tejas) One of the varieties of wheat having a high level of rust resistance. It is a high yielding durum wheat variety with an average yield of more then 55q/ha and potential yield of 75q

Digital Platform for Agri-Inputs (A Next Generation wholesale e-commerce Agri-Input business )

Half of the Indian population depends on agriculture as its primary source of income . H owever, the use of  technology  in the agricultural industry has been limited in India. Nowadays we see a rise in the number of agritech startups that are not only making technology more accessible but also helping these farmers to improve their lives.   They provide many kinds of services to our farmers, Agri-retailers and also help the government for sustainable agriculture. Investors are also looking forward to these startups. Now big E-commerce giants are also enter in this market segment like Amazon, Flipkart etc. Is this turnaround of the Agri-Input business ? So many kind of positive and negative thoughts are there Positive:-  All agri companies maintain a proper corporate channel  Big portfolio of product and services  Better services to farmers and retailers  Control the price war Zero credit business  Single point contact between Agritech and Input companies Very important more jobs  Nega
