1) India has a large agricultural sector, with over 700 million people depending on agriculture for their livelihoods, however yields remain low compared to other countries like China. 2) India ranks first globally in the production of tea, milk, cattle population, and several other crops. However, it wastes more fruits and vegetables than consumed in the UK due to poor infrastructure and handling. 3) The food processing industry in India accounts for 13% of exports and 6% of industry investment but processes less than 2% of agricultural produce. It faces challenges of awareness, infrastructure, and complex regulations.
