Meet to sell MP's farm potential

Seventy corporate houses will come to Madhya Pradesh on May 25 to gauge the agri business potential in the state.

They will also hold talks with farmers and potential processors at a mega agri-business congregation to be organised in the Assembly premises.

"Our idea is to bring buyer and sellers closer and market agri-business potential of the state. We expect this meet to bring results in some commodities like Sharbati wheat, soya, fruits and vegetables," said Pravesh Sharma, principal secretary, agriculture.

National Spot Exchange, SABMiller India, Cargill Grains & Oilseeds, Emami Ltd, Field Fresh Foods, Dabur Research Division, L&T Overseas, Pepsico India Holdings, Adani Group, ITC, Reliance Retail, Aditya Birla Retail and Mahindra Sulabh are likely to participate in the meet.
