He was going on his tour to deliver sermons in various places in MP. I had a chance to interact with him the one-on-one basis during flight for about 45 minutes. As soon as he entered the aircraft he started introducing him to all foreign tourists in flight and started showing his newspaper cuttings and in-house newsletter of his ashram called 'Rishi Prashad". Many passengers and air hostesses were keen to have the photo with him. After few minutes,  he came and sat next to me. We exchanged greetings and he started chatting with me. Once I introduced my area of expertise, Imagine what we were discussing - he was keen to know how and when to sell his soybean stocks and at what price. He or his trust has...

Indian Poultry Sector needs Urgent Cost Audit to ensure Competitiveness Defective Costing Methods in Poultry Production Responsible for Farmers’ Financial Stress Why no department is monitoring cost & price in Poultry Sector? By: Vijay Sardana If I say in Indian broiler industry is the most expensive in the world. Don't be surprised. Please do the calculation and share your method of calculation in the open platform before dismissing my statement. I am willing to discuss the same with anyone.

There are many reasons and factors for financial challenges in the poultry sector. Today, the whole broiler industry is dominated by large Integrators and at the same time, there is many small players in the sector. The cost structure is very different in both the situations. In case of integration, the cost is highly influenced by the efficiency wh...

Investigation - How Short-Sighted Policies compromising National Food Security and Increasing Import Dependence? By:  Vijay Sardana Feel free to share and discuss this vital subject. Competitiveness of Indian Agriculture is now at the mercy of importers and countries like China. If they increase the price of Agriculture inputs, there is no way the Government of India can control the input cost, because policies have ruined the domestic manufacturing.

These expensive inputs will also force the government to revise MSP because the cost of production (i.e. A2 and C2) will go up. This means subsidy burden will go up when the government is planning to pay 1.5 times of Cost of Production. Without creating manufacturing in India and without creating competition in agri-inputs, China will decide what should be the cost of input in India and in turn cost of productio...
