Jaipur, April 4

The Government of Rajasthan will roll out a series of roadshows across major Indian cities ahead of the Global Rajasthan Agritech Meet-2026, scheduled from May 23 to 25.

Led by the Department of Agriculture, the initiative aims to engage with investors, agritech firms, research institutions, startups, and key stakeholders to drive participation and investment in the state's agriculture ecosystem.

The roadshows will commence in Jaipur on April 10, followed by New Delhi on April 17, Ahmedabad on April 24, Hyderabad on May 6, and Pune on May 8.

These engagements will serve as a platform to present Rajasthan's evolving agricultural landscape, highlight policy support, and showcase emerging opportunities across agribusiness, food processing, and value-added sectors. The initiative is also aligned with the state's broader vision to integrate innovation, advanced technologies, and digital solutions into agriculture.

The roadshows are expected to facilitate high-level interactions between prospective investors, agritech developers, industry representatives, and policymakers, with a focus on building long-term partnerships and unlocking investment potential in the sector.

Commenting on the initiative, Manju Rajpal, Principal Secretary, Agriculture, Horticulture & Panchayati Raj (Agriculture), said, "Global Rajasthan Agritech Meet-2026, to be held in May, is a key platform to connect Rajasthan's agriculture sector with global investment and innovation. The roadshows are an important step towards showcasing the state's strengths and engaging with stakeholders from across India and beyond."

Participants will also be provided an overview of GRAM-2026's key highlights, including technical sessions, workshops, exhibitions, smart farm and livestock showcases, Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Government (B2G) meetings, as well as dedicated investment dialogues.

The Global Rajasthan Agritech Meet (GRAM)-2026 is positioned as a premier international platform bringing together investors, agri-entrepreneurs, agritech innovators, researchers, policymakers, and farmers. The previous edition of GRAM was held in 2016-17.

The upcoming edition is expected to see participation from over 75,000 farmers across Rajasthan, more than 250 exhibitors, and over 100 companies from India and overseas. Delegations from partner regions, including South Asia, Europe, Australia, and North and South America, are also likely to participate.

As someone working in the agritech startup space in Hyderabad, I'm glad they're coming here. The B2B meetings could be a game-changer for partnerships. The key will be ensuring the tech is affordable and accessible for smallholder farmers, not just large agribusiness.

Waah! GRAM is back after almost a decade. My uncle is a farmer in Kota and he's always talking about the need for better market links and storage. If this meet can actually bring solutions that reach the ground level, it will be a big success. All the best to the team!

Good step, but I hope it's not just another talk shop. The last edition was in 2016-17. What happened to the partnerships and promises from back then? The government needs to show concrete results from past events to build real credibility with investors this time.

Including over 75,000 farmers is the most important part. Ultimately, any agritech innovation has to be adopted by them. Hope the sessions are in local languages and truly address their pain points like crop prices and climate-resilient seeds.

The international delegations part is promising. Cross-learning from places like Australia on dryland farming could be very valuable for Rajasthan's conditions. The roadshow schedule looks well-planned to hit major economic hubs.
