Sustainable sourcing is reshaping India's agricultural value chains as a strategic imperative. With over 150 million farmers, 86 percent operating as smallholders, India's fragmented agricultural structure faces mounting pressures from climate variability, erratic rainfall, and rising input costs. Agricultural exports reached $51.2 billion in FY25, yet supply chain vulnerabilities threaten this growth. Corporates increasingly recognize that sustainable sourcing reduces structural risks, improves price discovery, and enhances resilience in procurement. As climate impacts could reduce yields by 15 percent over the next decade, data-driven sourcing strategies and stronger farmer connections become essential for long-term value creation and food security.
