Congratulations to the top three winners of the 2024 AYuTe Ethiopia Challenge Machinova Manufacturing PLC Hamere Gashaw, Martha Samuel, and Kebron Gizachew Agri-tech Innovation Idea: An Ethiopian-made hybrid egg incubator with a capacity of up to 500 eggs. It is fully automated and incorporates advanced features such as the ability to detect egg fertility by the 5th day, integrating the setter and hatcher room into one for a cycling system that enhances hatching rates. This will address the challenge of smallholder farmers in obtaining delayed day-old chicks. Hager Pesticide Factory P.L.C Solomon Geremew Agri-tech Innovation Idea: Production of organic pesticides from locally available plant species to address societal issues such as crop loss due to pests, pesticide scarcity, and the reduction of health impacts caused by synthetic pesticides. Desalegn Dibaba Agri-tech Innovation Idea: Movable false banana (enset) which facilitates fermentation of kocho (bread-like fermented food made from chopped and grated false banana (enset) pulp) efficiently and facilitates the sequencing of bulla (powder of the false banana) from decorticated enset. This innovation helps maintain quality, reduce losses, shorten fermentation time, preserve nutritional value, and extend the shelf life of kocho.

Strategic product launches, acquisitions, and digital partnerships signal an exciting future for biocontrol The investment potential in safer, more field-friendly biocontrol solutions is vast The biocontrol market is poised for transformation, driven by rising global demand, groundbreaking formulations, and a collective push for sustainable agriculture.  #Biocontrol #Biopesticides #SustainableAgriculture Bionema Group Limited Stephen Ford

India's agriculture sector faces numerous challenges, from soil degradation to over-reliance on pesticides and fertilizers. Dr. Kalyan Goswami (PhD in Public Policy), Director General of the Agro Chem Federation of India (ACFI), sheds light on the urgent need for policy reforms and innovative solutions to tackle these issues. In a recent interview, Dr. Goswami emphasized the role of nanotechnology in reducing pesticide use and called for stronger support for R&D in the agrochemical industry. He also highlighted the critical gaps in current policies, particularly regarding Minimum Support Price (MSP) and the lack of training for farmers in sustainable practices. ACFI is committed to advocating for policies supporting farmers and the agrochemical industry while prioritizing eco-friendly technologies. The organization’s efforts aim to create awareness and provide farmers with the tools to reduce dependency on harmful chemicals, ensuring a more sustainable and prosperous future for Indian agriculture. #AgroChemicals #SustainableAgriculture #IndianFarming #PolicyReform #Innovation Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Government of India ICAR- Indian Council of Agricultural Research Agriculture Today Group Alok Nayak Shakti Singh

Dr. K C Ravi, Chairman Crop Life India and Chief Sustainability Officer, Syngenta India contributed an article in the fourth edition of the India Chemical Industry Outlook 2024 year book on “Policy reforms to take agrochemicals to the next level”. While tracing the great strides that the agrochemical industry in India has made , he highlights three critical reforms that would take the agrochemical industry to greater heights.   Dr. Ravi highlights that the first big-ticket reform is the reduction in registration timelines for crop protection products so that the farmers are equipped with the latest technologies to combat the various challenges. There is scope of improvement with respect to policy, process & administrative capacity changes thereby reducing timelines by three years & fostering innovative plant protection solutions for Indian farmers.   Second is allowing Minor Changes which has been in discussion since 2012.  Dr. Ravi highlights that if one is to make minor changes in the existing chemical composition, it qualifies as a new formulation & requires to be registered with the total data package all over again under the Insecticides Act 1968 & Rules 1971 at present.   Third, the most debated issue is of Regulatory Data Protection. The data submitted by the first time registrant is given protection for a certain number of years the world over to not only stabilize & steward the product in the market but also for recouping the massive investment incurred to bring the new product.   Dr. Ravi reiterates the need to look at reforms in agrochemicals only through the lens of Science & Farmers.

Biological Crop Protection, also known as biocontrol, revolutionizes pest management by harnessing the power of nature's own defenses against agricultural threats. This eco-friendly approach utilizes organisms such as predators, parasites, and herbivores to control pests like insects, fungi, weeds, and plant diseases. Unlike traditional chemical pesticides, biological crop protection methods prioritize sustainability and environmental preservation, fostering a harmonious balance between agricultural productivity and ecosystem health. India Biological Crop Protection Market has valued at USD 80.48 Million in 2024 and is anticipated to project impressive growth with a CAGR of 6.38%.
