With the fast changing economy and increasing impact of WTO on Indian agriculture the significance of quick information access, and exposure to latest products, technologies and marketing opportunities is of prime importance. AgroVision 2021 aims to provide an opportunity for participants to showcase products, services, schemes and technologies to potential users and farmers. The Development Meet proposed as part of the event on the theme "Investment opportunities and growth potential in agro sector in Uttar Pradesh" would help in formulating a comprehensive policy to promote growth and investment in this sector. Recognizing the importance of an International level agri event in the country's largest state, Uttar Pradesh, and the overwhelming response from the industry and the Government of Uttar Pradesh, ICFA in consultation with all the supporting bodies is organizing AgroVision 2021 in Lucknow (India) from December 16 - 18, 2021 at the campus of Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research. IISR is the world's premier research institute on sugarcane under the Government of India's Indian Council of Agricultural Research.
A Business Meet of all the important stake-holders will be held on December 16, 2021, which would discuss the policy initiatives by India and importantly by the Uttar Pradesh State in farm and agro sector. The Business Meet would focus on promoting private investments in farm machinery, production systems, animal husbandry, food processing, storage, marketing, agricultural services and agri infrastructure. The Government of Uttar Pradesh may assist with project guidelines in the high business potential sectors such as fruits, vegetables, sugar and its byproducts, dairy, milk and milk products, processed food, poultry, biotechnology, storage, post-harvest, mechanization, seeds production and several other areas.
Provide exposure to farmers about the latest agri-input products, technologies, farming practices, government schemes, marketing and post harvest management.
Provide better awareness among the key stakeholders, industries and investors about the agricultural potential of the state, business opportunities available and the scope for investment.
Provide platform to the national and international organisations in food, agriculture, animal husbandry, horticulture, agribusiness and rural development for linkages and partnerships.
Provide a unique opportunity to reach out to over 50,000 progressive farmers from the State and other key stake-holders in food and agriculture system in the country.
Provide valuable opportunity for interaction with the top Government of India and the State government officials and policy makers to discuss issues and explore business opportunities in the State.
Provide inputs for formulating appropriate farm and agro industrial policy for enhancing competitiveness, increasing productivity, improving post-harvest management, processing and infrastructure and agro exports.
An extensive publicity and promotion is planned to spread the message across all the country in all the State of India. Besides farmers, we expect about 25,000 rural functionaries, extension workers, government departments, academic and research, industry, institutions and international organisations to be visiting the three day event.

The stalls would be of various sizes depending on the requirements of the exhibitors. The entire event would be put up in 10 hangers. Some hangers may be added or merged as per booking availability.
