Editor's Notes
TC’s Agri Business Division one of India’s largest exporters of agricultural commodities has conceived e-Choupal as a more efficient supply chain aimed at delivering value to its customers around the world on a sustainable basis. e-Choupal also unshackles the potential of Indian farmer who has been trapped in a vicious cycle of low risk raking ability, low investment, low productivity, weak market orientation, low value addition.
