AgroTech - 2025

The Indian Chamber of Food and Agriculture is the apex body in India, working on business, policy, and development agendas and serving as a global platform for trade facilitation, partnerships, technology, and agribusiness services. A proactive approach helps ICFA discern critical challenges emerging in Indian agriculture and create opportunities for development, value addition, and international trade to accelerate growth in the food and agriculture sectors globally. ICFA, with more than 25 industry Working Groups and sector-specific Business Councils, represents the interests of key stakeholders at the national level and, through its international platforms and partnerships, facilitates India’s global engagement in the food and agriculture sectors.

For enhanced sustainability, food safety, and quality standards, ICFA has taken up the Agriculture Stewardship Program by launching the Healthy Food Initiative program and the Good Agriculture Practices (GAP) project. In a short period of more than seven years, the Chamber has signed MoUs with the ICAR, APEDA, NRDC, RAKEZ Group, ASYAD Group, University of California, University of Maryland, Michigan State University, Iowa State University, Western Australia University, German Agribusiness Alliance, Borlaug Institute for South Asia, African Asian Rural Development Organization, NASSCOM, Sociedad Rural Argentina (SRA), FAMATO, CCI Pau Béarn, IFPRI, etc. Through international partnerships, ICFA envisions mobilizing technologies and investments that will catalyze agribusiness and agri-startups. The more than 35-member ICFA Board has distinguished luminaries, with the Pioneer of India’s Green Revolution, Prof. MS Swaminathan, as its Patron.

With the fast changing global technology, business and economic environment, the significance of quick information access and exposure to latest products, technologies and marketing opportunities has assumed critical importance in order to deal with the challenges and tapping the opportunities. Agrotech 2025 aims to provide an opportunity for participants to show case products, services, schemes and technologies to potential users and farmers. The event will highlight the investment opportunities and growth potential that exist in Agriculture sector in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Understanding the importance of a national level agro-tech event in the country's largest state, Uttar Pradesh and the impact it can have on the key stakeholders, ICFA in consultation with all the supporting bodies is proposing to organize Agrotech 2025 in Lucknow (India) from 01 - 03 March 2025 at the campus of Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research. Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research is the world's premier research institute on sugarcane under the Government of India's Indian Council of Agricultural Research.

UP Agriculture Development Meet dives into policy initiatives by India and the state focusing on private investments in farm machinery, production, animal husbandry, and more. Senior officials from the GOI and UP Govt are discussing investment opportunities in high-potential sectors like horticulture, dairy, processed food, and biotechnology. Join the conversation on agricultural innovation and growth.

Being organised in an agriculturally high potential state of the country, a large turnout, both of individual visitors and of exhibitors is expected from across the country. We expect over 10,000 farmers and rural functionaries, extension workers, government departments, academic and research people, industry executives and VIP categories participating in three day event. As in the past, events organized in Lucknow by ICFA, the State Government could mobilize participation of progressive farmers to the event from different parts of the state. Under Exposure Visit Scheme, farmers and extension functionaries from other States too can also be mobilized. An extensive publicity and promotional campaign is planned to create awareness among farmers and other stake holders about the event.
