India is an agrarian economy, but the sector is under-reported. With over 180 million to 200 million people involved in farming activities, the sector needs a platform which covers news, information and intelligence to farmers as well as investors and companies. AgriTimes is one-of-a-kind news portal that not only covers news related to crops, but also cover poultry, aqua culture, dairy, animal husbandry, organic farming, horticulture, farm equipment news.

“We want to cater to the farming population and want to bridge the gap between producer (farmers)and investors and help global companies waiting to invest in India's growing agriculture sector,” mentions Nehul Jagdish Kumar, Founder & Editor.

A multi-vertical portal that gives all relevant information of any agriculture & allied sector at one platform, AgriTimes informs and update farmers with latest news and knowledge that helps them make right choices in which ever sector they are working. “Anyone who is concerned & interested in agriculture & allied sector can connect with Agritimes™ to get news and information to sharpen
their knowledge & skills,” mentions Kumar.

Though India is one of the highest producers of food grains, dairy and other food items,it lags behind in tapping overseas market. Even the farmers lack in information and knowledge about the sector locally, as well as on a global level. This is where AgriTimes.co.in comes in.
