THE INDIA OPPORTUNITY

Why India, why now, why with me

If you are a UK or European agri-tech company considering India - here is why this is the right moment, and why having a trained agricultural research partner on the ground makes all the difference.

A market opening right now

India's agritech market is growing from $9 billion today to $28 billion by 2030 - 3x growth in just 5 years. The UK-India Free Trade Agreement, signed July 2025, has opened the doors. The opportunity is enormous - but only those with the right local expertise will succeed.

  • ✓UK-India FTA - £25.5B trade potential just opened
  • ✓UK government-backed Agri-Tech India Accelerator running
  • ✓Indian government subsidies 50-90% on irrigation technology
  • ✓140 million farming households across India
  • ✓10,000+ Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) ready
  • ✓India loses 30% of crops post-harvest - huge cold chain opportunity
  • ✓Market linkage will contribute 45% of agritech value by 2030 - exactly the service AgriShakti UK provides

"India's farmers feed 1.4 billion people. Yet 78% spray pesticides with zero protection. The technology exists. The market exists. What India needs is a trusted bridge - built by someone who understands both worlds."
