Agriculture has been the foundation of India’s economy, employing a significant portion of the population and contributing substantially to GDP. Today, the sector is evolving rapidly with the rise of agribusinesses, food processing, warehousing, logistics, and agri-tech innovations, along with an increasing focus on exports and sustainable farming practices.
In addition to traditional agriculture and plantation operations, the sector now includes emerging areas such as medicinal cannabis cultivation, which, although tightly regulated, presents opportunities under controlled frameworks.
Our Agriculture & Plantation Practice provides comprehensive support to farmers, cooperatives, agribusinesses, FPOs, investors, plantation operators, and food processing companies - helping them manage compliance, structure businesses, and explore global opportunities.
We advise clients across the agricultural value chain, from farm to export hub. Our team combines expertise in land laws, food processing, contract farming, warehousing, and regulatory frameworks with sector-specific advisory in medicinal cannabis, biotechnology, and sustainable agriculture.
