Agri biotech companies in India

What is agricultural biotechnology and how does it help agriculture?

For ages, humans have always made an improvement in each and every field. Agriculture remains to be one of the most important practices as food is every human’s necessity and is required for every living being’s survival. To improve the quality of food crops, biotechnology was introduced to not only plants but also animals and micro-organisms by manipulating the genes. Therefore, the practice which includes application of biotechnology to agriculture for greater yields by increasing the productivity along with enhancement of their value is known as agricultural biotechnology.

Crops produced using this technology have more nutritional value and have more resistance to diseases. The need for fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals is also reduced as they become resistant to pests thereby developing resistance to diseases. They also acclimatize themselves to stressful and odd environmental conditions. They also contribute to the shelf life by keeping them fresh for long and preventing spoilage, decay or damage without any compromise in the nutrition of the crop. The enzymatic activity of the plants is altered which in turn enhances the flavour of certain crops such as melons, peppers, etc. They are also cost effective.


 However, many questions were raised regarding the safety with the use of genetically modified crops and its effects on the environment, impact on the economy and ethics by the opponents. After a good research, it has been proven that these food materials are definitely safe for consumption and poses no threat to human health.

The wide range of agriculture foods that sustains Indian population

The people of India have been leading a versatile range of lifestyle starting from foods to cloth. In spite of a lot of difference India still has remained intact in its integrity. Food stuffs and food habits differ from region to region in India. Rice and Wheat remains the most dominating food crops in India, but Maize or Corn is the next substitute that is widely popular in India. You must have heard in the northern parts of India, i.e. Punjab and Haryana region Makke Dii Roti and Sarson Daa Saag remains the all-time favourite savoury for people. A special Indian bread made of maize flour. 

Corn flour or maize flour, whatever you call it, is used across various countries of the globe. Due to the versatility of this crop, different agricultural climates perfectly fit the wonder crop. 

Being a nutritious food for humans, it is also used in animal feed. The various benefits of the crop are globally known. Being one of the widely used staple foods, maize has its own success story. 

In India maize is the third popular food grain after rice and wheat. 48 per cent of the total maize produced in India is used as poultry food, 11% for livestock feed, 28% is consumed as food, whereas 12% is used in starch and oil production, which in other words is called as wet milling. The rest 1 per cent is used as seed. 

India roughly contributes to 2% of the total maize production of the world. Maize or corn is consumed as a whole after boiled or roasted. Sweet corn and normal corn are different in taste. Dried maize seeds are roasted and popcorn is made out of it. They are also flavoured and served as a popular snack. Movies and popcorn are glued to the human lives across the globe.

Importance of Agriculture

Agriculture is the basis of the survival of life on earth, as the produce from the occupation feeds everyone to survive further, but with the fading awareness we tend to overlook the larger picture. Food today is conceptualised in a variety of structures yet the basis or the origin has not changed. However there is no improvement in treasuring the essential core components of the agricultural food neither are any safety measures adopted safety to safeguard its existence. 

In our fast paced lives we have a large share in consumption of the agricultural food but the ways to promote its growth are shrinking. As our priorities are deflected, we need to understand the importance of agricultural food in our well-being and accordingly structure as this segments impact the economy as well as survival quotient. 

Role of Agriculture: This sector dominates the e economy of India as agriculture being the dominant occupation in India it is the largest producer, exporter of agricultural food which includes variety of spices, food grains like Jowar, Bajra, Rice etc. as well as cash crops like Tobacco, dried fruits like Cashew nuts, Almonds, Pistachios etc. and a variety of herbs which have medicinal properties. 

The variety of agricultural food items exported, manufactured in India are consumed by a variety of industries across the globe which include pharmaceutical segment to make variety of medicines in the form of liquid medications, powdered etc. food and beverage industry as well as for personal consumption.  

Employment: As the segment is diverse it has enormous work opportunities, thus from minor tasks like seeding, ploughing to feeding animals and maintaining crops by the use of pesticides jobs are available. However as literacy is not an important norm in this segment many are utilising their knowledge of primitive resources and taking to agriculture.  

Economy: Moreover the sector plays a vital role in shaping the economy of the country and at large contributing largely towards the global economy. Today, however with the advanced technological aids easily available, farmers are given government aid and support and relevant education to enhance the revenue and production of agricultural food. 

Organic food: Consuming food free from harmful pesticides is always superior in quality, so with the improving influence of organic agricultural food more and more advancement is happening and the complex process of cultivation is simplifying. And as the food is natural with no harmful pesticides it is rich in existence.
