New Delhi [India], May 9: Maple Capital Advisors and the Indo-Dutch Chambers of Business & Sciences (IDC) launched a report titled "Agritech in India: Investment Trends". This study examines how technological innovation, private capital infusion, and proactive policy measures are converging to transform India's centuries-old agricultural sector into a dynamic, high-growth ecosystem and the investment trends ranging from M&A to Private Equity. Agriculture remains the backbone of India's economy--accounting for nearly 18-19% of Gross Value Added (GVA) and employing over 55% of the workforce. Yet, for decades, the sector has grappled with fragmented supply chains, limited access to finance, and outdated practices. The report details how over $2.6 billion in private capital has flowed into agritech since FY 22, enabling startups and established players to tackle inefficiencies ranging from seed selection to market access. "The surge in agritech innovation and investments is driving change in the broader agribusiness sector," said Pankaj Karna, Founder & Managing Director of Maple Capital Advisors.
