affects international competitiveness.
Inadequate infrastructure.
Too many middlemen in the procurement chain.
Lack of contract farming practices.
Quality problems due to poor post-harvest
management. Inadequacy of domestic quality

India's location advantage is the value
of trade in agriculture and processed
food between India and Gulf region
