Karan Chanana heads Amira Foods in India, the largest rice exporter in the country. He points to Agriculture Minister Pawar's awareness of the sugar sector, which allowed him to make the decision to export sugar when global availability was tight and prices were high. Chanana argues that this type of aware, dynamic decision making is needed for other commodities. Under Chanana's leadership, Amira Foods has transformed from a family-run business into a professionally managed company with a turnover of $240 million last year. He has helped make the supply chain fully backward integrated.
