MBA in Agribusiness ManagementFaculty of Management Studies, Sri Sri University

BackgroundThe term agribusiness refers to various businesses those involved in food production, including farming, seed supply, agrichemicals, farm machinery, wholesale, distribution, processing, marketing and retail sales. Agribusiness Industry works on various levels primarily from growing of crops, vegetables, seeds, animal production, livestock production, aquaculture, Fishery, herbal and flower products etc. The second level of agribusiness is processing of crops, seeds, herbs, meat, milk and other agri and allied processed foods. The third level on which this Industry operates is packaging and branding of these products using latest technology and selling/serving to the final consumers. Agriculture has now been playing a vital role in the economic growth of developing countries including the growing industrialization and its importance has increased agri-products in the several-folds. In India a major portion of our country GDP comes from agriculture sector which also employ 65 percent of the Indian population (especially rural women) employing over 600 million people (more than Europe's population), in various roles as farmers, marginal farmers, land less farmers and labourers. Moreover, now, the food and food-products import-export policies also play important role in the overall development of any country and the world as a whole.

Indian model of green revolution contributed to the agriculture sector that entered into a huge transitional phase with historically rapid growth trend after 2002. While strong technology base R&D was central, the collective work of the scientists, extension functionaries, policy makers, the political system and above all the farmers is the core. This was a team effort spearheaded by C. Subramanian, Norman Borlaug, B.P. Pal and M.S. Swaminathan. ‘Operation Flood’ by the National Dairy Development Board in 1970 under the Chairmanship of Dr. Varghese Kurien has transformed India into the largest producer of milk and contributed significantly to the country’s growth trajectory. Government of India, State Government, various Agriculture Institutions, banks and Agribusiness organizations are also seriously replication such methods and encouraging the sector towards shifting agriculture into a market oriented and viable business venture.

Developing countries have less resource to invest in long-term adaptive capacity of farmers such as public awareness, liquid financial markets and well-built institutional network to increase resilience to climate change and help mitigate critical temperature thresholds and

weather extremes. Further, land resources are shrinking, area under agriculture is reducing sharply, water resources are depleting and polluting at a fast pace. Thus in a globally competitive world, bringing into forefront the critical thinking, insightfulness and creative solution are important for addressing the challenges of our times and competitive advantage. Agribusiness must be a means to improve the wellbeing of the marginal farmers, landless labourers and women through value addition, creation of competitive agribusiness enterprises, technology innovation, commercialization and inventing local solution as “fit for all size”. The Founder and Chairperson of MS Swaminathan Research Foundation, Padma Shri (Dr.) M. S. Swaminathan is the board of advisors of Sri Sri University. Dr. Swaminathan perceives that educated young people will take to farming and farm related enterprises only if agriculture becomes intellectually stimulating and economically rewarding by means of partnership with private players and entrepreneur.

Keeping this view in backdrop, MBA Program in Agri-Business Management (ABM) of Sri Sri University becomes a timely initiative. The course curriculum of ABM is designed to give students an in-depth mastery of the academic disciplines and applied functional areas necessary to every agri-business leader’s success. The unique needs of agribusiness professionals are comprise of knowledge and skills in elements of agriculture sector policy issues, technology, marketing, finance and. Further, the complex interplay among primary producers of agri-food products, small business entrepreneurship, traders and other market intermediaries in the value chain. The objectives of MBA in ABM are as below:

To create awareness among the students the scope and prospect of sustainable Agribusiness of any size in India;

To train students the principles and practices of agricultural production, value addition, systematic marketing, food supply chain, global trends and future challenges;

To collaborate with reputed agriculture institutions and organizations in India and abroad, successful agri-entrepreneur and various Government agencies enabling summer internship and capstan project for students and acquire knowledge through training and exposure;

To create a new breed of agribusiness professionals needed to manage the transformation of rural economy and contribution of the agribusiness in developing economies;

To enhance the sustainability and capability of agricultural enterprises by providing trained students with knowledge of international standards on food safety, traceability of food products, local and global trade policies;

To create a platform to motivate and provide systematic guidance to the prospective students to realize their dream as Agripreneurs.
