“In envisioning the future of India's animal feed industry, our journey has been one of diversification and unexpected opportunities. From pioneering compound feed with global collaborations to addressing challenges head-on, our evolution has been marked by innovation. With government interventions and forward-looking state-of-the-art centers like NGCARD, we see a pathway towards realizing this potential. As urbanization and changing consumption patterns drive demand for quality protein, the industry's potential to provide efficient and accessible sources becomes clear. By embracing innovation and collaboration, we can steer the sector towards self-sufficiency, prosperity, and a greener future for India's agriculture,” he further added.
