About the conference
Inclusive agribusiness is the creation of opportunities to enable small farmers, farmer groups, and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to become economically viable partners with the big players in the value chain.
Such an approach will require cutting across boundaries and bridging gaps among sectors like the academe, government, and private business.
The key here is sharing profit, wealth, and growth between the big and small players. Thus no small farmer would be left behind by the bus towards progress.
