Welcome to TEAM PRO - Facilitating Business, Bank & Enterprise Growth in UK and India©

Agriculture, Agro-processing and Food Processing Projects:

21st century Agriculture is not limited to manual labour and cart-driving farmers. It is seized by technocrat farmers and qualified and skilled labour who is capable of understanding and absorbing latest technologies from seed propagation to bio-fertilizers, and crop science and dairy technology, animal science to veterinary medical doctors. Not to forget the pivotal role played by farm equipments and agriculture tools made in modern industries like Mahindra & Mahindra Tractors and TAFE Tillers.

The new age technologies and practices also bring new business models like contract farming, packaged fruits and vegetables, and so on. Ministry of Food Processing, Government of India estimates 40% of food is waste from farm to market, and provides substantial capital subsidies and other benefits to Food Processing Parks and Projects all over India. India is one of the top five agro producers in many commodities, but far behind in food processing like almost all developed nations, loosing valuable value addition and foreign exchange. TEAM believes India can be a Vegetarian Food Court to the World.
