NEW DELHI: India has invited Start-ups and FPOs to capitalise on Agri and Food Processing policies at EXPO2020 Dubai, showcasing the country's investment-friendly policies and growth potential in agricultural and allied sectors.

Dr. Abhilaksh Likhi, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, informed Start-Ups and Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) that equity grants, management costs, and other available support measures will be considered.

On Thursday, Dr. Likhi spoke during the launch of the 'Food, Agriculture, and Livelihood' fortnight at the India Pavilion at EXPO2020 Dubai.
