Goverdhan S Rawat, General Manager, NABARD to Participate in Conference on Enhancing Maharashtra’s Agri Logistics Sector

Agri logistics, which facilitates connectivity between production and consumption centers spanning both geography and time with minimum quality and quantity loss, is the backbone of agribusiness. Food waste is at the heart of India's efforts to improve food security.

While the emphasis has been on boosting output, food supply chain losses have been largely disregarded until recently.

In light of this, ASSOCHAM will hold a Virtual Conference on Enhancing Maharashtra's Agri Logistics Sector Challenges, Opportunities- A Roadmap Ahead on March 3, 2022, with the goal of debating issues that can improve the country's Agri Logistics sector's rate of growth and recording all necessary steps to enter a new era of Agriculture Logistics to improve productivity, with a strong focus on the sector's latest opportunities and a slight focus on technology, marketing, finance, export and infra facilities.

Chief Guest: Dr. Sudhir Kumar Goel, IAS (Retd.), Farmer-Commissioner Agriculture, Farmer Principal Secretary & Farmer Additional Chief Secretary, Dept. of Agriculture, Govt of Maharashtra
