    main()If there is one sector that is always thriving, regardless of the economic environment of the country, it is Agriculture. After all, food is one of the basic necessities of human beings for survival. So the agricultural sector is considered to be the prime sector for any nation. More so in a country like India which is known as an agricultural country because farming is the backbone of the Indian economy.
The contribution of agriculture to India’s total GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is between 14% to 15%.
Hence, it goes without saying that agriculture can potentially be a feasible business idea in India. Also known as Agribusiness, an agricultural business includes farming, production, marketing and management of agricultural commodities like grains, vegetables, fruits, and livestock. From a broader perspective, an agribusiness also consists of resource management, conservation, ranching and sales of the agricultural produce.
The growing awareness and popularity of high quality organic farm produce that sells at high value in the market.
Facilitative services like insurance, marketing, credit, processing, storage, packaging, transportation, etc.
However, just like any other business, starting an agricultural business also needs systematic planning and strategising in order to achieve the desired goals.
Urban agriculture, which means practicing agriculture in urban areas and its surrounding regions.
Step 2 – Obtain the chosen farming land’s proof of ownership or lease agreement and secure a farm map which includes farm boundaries and watering points.
Step 3 – Research and identify the potential markets and its requirements to cater to.
Step 4 – Take into account your expertise, ability, knowledge and access to professional assistance before finalising the commodity for your business plan.
Step 5 – Calculate the short term as well as long term economic potential, viability and future opportunities of the chosen commodities and source information accordingly.
Step 6 – Once you have zeroed in on the commodities, the next logical step would be to identify resources that need to be obtained to manufacture your chosen commodities.
Step 7 – Once you have finalised the agribusiness sector of your choice, you will have to get your business registered with its chosen operational name.
Step 8 – Arguably the most vital step in starting any new business is arranging the required finances from a reliable source to ensure smooth operations of the business.
An agribusiness loan is nothing but an overdraft facility that can be used as working capital for activities related to agriculture like farming and cultivation. Agricultural loans in India are usually low interest loans that can be availed by farmers. The repayment tenure of an agricultural loan differs from lender to lender. The loan can be repaid in monthly, half yearly or yearly instalments.
Managing day to day operations.
In India, financial institutions like government and private banks, co-operative societies and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFC) like Lendingkart provide convenient agribusiness loans.
Applicant should be between 18 – 70 years old.
