The document discusses the Agri-Business Incubator (ABI) at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT). ICRISAT conducts agricultural research and development to improve food security and reduce poverty in semi-arid tropical regions. The ABI aims to stimulate technology development and transfer between ICRISAT researchers and entrepreneurs to commercialize ICRISAT technologies and provide business support services. The ABI will provide infrastructure and business incubation services to startup companies working on technologies in crops important to ICRISAT's mission like sorghum, groundnuts, and chickpeas.

Presented as part of the "Moving Africa Towards a Knowledge Based Bio-economy" seminar on how agricultural innovation and in particular biosciences in areas such as breeding, agro-processing and value addition can contribute to economic growth and sustainable development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Key questions of the seminar:
How the millions of resource-poor smallholder farmers, so vital for food production and economic growth, can benefit from the prospects of a new bio-economy?
How countries in Sub-Saharan Africa can develop programmes, institutional capabilities and bioscience innovation structures able to adapt and use technologies and know-how based on their own priorities and needs?
How can Sweden assist countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to move Towards a Knowledge Based Bio-economy?

skilled workforce, strong supporting ecosystem, and an industry friendly policy environment.
2. Home to 10 Agro-climatic zones on the basis of soil structure, topography, vegetation, elevation and
rainfall which supports a wide variety of crops.
3. Karnataka is the largest producer of coffee in the country, contributing 70% to national production.
4. Largest producer of Silk in the country accounting for 35% of the Silk production in the country
containing 49 Silk Farms and 92 Silk cooperatives.
5. Only producer of Rose Onions in the country, which are exported to Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia,
Brunei, Bahrain, and UAE.
6. Karnataka is among the top producers of pomegranate, grapes, mango, lime/lemon and orange creating
opportunities for manufacturing products like juice, pulp, squash and jams

Key features of India agricultural sector Significant productivity advances in main food staple, but accompanied by large food surplus in recent years – 29 million tones for rice alone Agricultural production characterized by predominately small holder production system. Couple with a large rural population of approximately 750,000 million people most of who are dependant on agriculture production and employment. One of the largest concentrations of agricultural and food scientists in the world, including in advanced scientific areas. Complementary scientific and management expertise held in a large number of world class organization in India A large domestic market for agricultural produce and following liberalization, opportunities for produce export. Agricultural sector well integrated in market economic. High demand for purchased inputs- seed, pest management inputs. A well advanced economic liberalization programme with very attractive opportunities emerging for the private sector in both input and output markets. A emergent vertically integrated food industry offering the opportunity to more efficiently link primary producers to consumers via private industry. Related food habit changes in urban sector towards proceed convenience foods. A well established private seed industry, with many large companies investing in R&D. A nascent private biotechnology industry in the health and agricultural sectors. Complementary capacities in information technology provide a potential comparative advantage in bio-informatics.
-R&D in the public sector has tended not to interface with private enterprise and so is disconnected from the broader market developments and demands. Underlying assumption that research, technology development, technology transfer, and technology use were a sequential tasks, has limited the emergence of more iterative relationships between science, the market, and technology users. WTO means that Indian agricultural and the agro-based industries must become more competitive, both in terms of price, but also in terms of quality. In many sectors a quality reputation is yet to be built. Indian wheat prices for example are significantly higher than international prices due to policy distortions in India. Entry into global markets and international competition requires rapid technical change in both production and post-harvest arenas. Existing institutional arrangements make this difficult, particularly so where scientific expertise cuts across exiting organizational boundaries and where partnership between public and private sectors are required. New, flexible and evolving multi-agency groupings are required. Environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity are emerging as major threats to the sustainability of current agricultural development strategies. Science needs to provide new strategic opportunities that go beyond ameliorating existing constrains, and contribute to an new development paradigm that will prove sustainable in the long run. Rural poverty remains, with more than 450 million people surviving on less than a dollar a day. Agricultural development must address this problem through technological and institutional changes, that draw on the creativity of science, the public and private sectors in ways that genuinely enfranchise the poor.
It is important to test transgenics under totally safe conditions for which we have recently commissioned a transgenic greenhouse. ICRISAT follows all the guidelines of the Government of India in this regard. Once we prove that all transgenics with which we are dealing are safe, we will be very keen to work with scientists of the programs to test them under field conditions so that farmers can receive benefits as quickly as possible.
