As India seeks to modernise agricultural supply chains and strengthen food security, Amith Agarwal, Founder and CEO of StarAgri, a private agri-infrastructure company, said the country needs to rethink how grain procurement and storage are managed.
He called for greater participation of private players in government procurement and storage operations, arguing that expanding the minimum support price (MSP) ecosystem could improve efficiency, increase warehousing capacity, and reduce the burden on public agencies.
