Around 50 farmers and entrepreneurs will travel to five cities to meet fellow farmers and share their experiences with new technologies and agri-ventures. These farmers have benefitted from the World Bank-funded National Agriculture Innovation Project (NAIP) of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research.
The initiative is called the Krishi Parivartan Yatra (a journey of agricultural transformation).
Over the last five years, 22 agribusiness incubators have been set up in agricultural universities and research institutes by NAIP-ICAR with support and mentoring by ICRISAT-ABI.
The Agri-Business Incubation (ABI) Programme has supported more than 200 agribusiness ventures and benefited over 5 lakh farmers in Andhra Pradesh and neighbouring States.
