I worked for Godrej Agrovet Ltd. , the largest feed miller in India for 5
years , and was in Agri commodities trading in Cargill Inc.  for 2 years
before starting an agribusiness  Internet technology and consulting firm
with 9 others traders with similar backgrounds.
We  run the largest Indian centric agribusiness portal
http://www.agriwatch.com  We
publish  the only daily agricultural newspaper in India in both Hindi and
English from Delhi and Bhopal. These cater to the the information
requirements of the agribusiness sector partcularly the processors and the
trading  community.  Through all these products we reach out to almost
50,000 key participants in the Indian Agribusiness Trade on a daily basis.
We have put almost 60 market centres for collection of information and also
dissemination.
We have 17 economic research analysts working  on Rice, Wheat, Maize, Oil
complex , Pulses, Spices, Coffee, Sugar, Livestock, Herbs, Aromatic Plants,
Biotechnology, Agrochemicals, Seeds and Fertilisers with  focus on India.
Clients include Cargill, Andre,  HLL, Godrej, Novartis, Ruchi,  BASF, UPL,
Mahindra, Monsanto, RPG Life Sciences, Dupont etc in the private sector and
Andhra Pradesh Dept of Agriculture, Karnataka Dept of Agriculture, Ministry
of Food Processing Delhi, Small Farmers Agribusiness Consortium, Chairman of
the Prime Ministers task force on Agriculture etc in the Goverment sector.
We would greatly appreciate any referrals contacts etc. This was and is a
Pariah sector right through  even the boom period in the dotcoms and even we
were clear since March 99 (when we started) that we would have to make it on
our own steam.
