Biotechnology will play an important role in improving agricultural output as land is limited and water resources are reducing, Minister of State for Agriculture M K Kundariya said today.
The government is "committed to working with industry leaders to bring about a revolution in the agricultural sector", Kundariya said while speaking at the CII National Conference on Agri-Biotechnology.
The role of private players is extremely important in bringing quality and affordable food to growing population, the minister said.
The government would work to provide better crop prices to farmers, remove trade barriers and support technologies that are environment friendly, he said.
"Technology, like agri-biotechnology, if used intelligently will play an important role in improving our agricultural output especially in the light of our limited land and water resources which are reducing day by day," he said.
