In a push to position Rajasthan as a leading destination for investments in the agriculture sector, the State government on Saturday decided to roll out a series of roadshows in several cities ahead of the Global Rajasthan Agritech Meet (GRAM)-2026, scheduled to be held here from May 23 to 25.
The initiative aims at engaging with investors, agritech firms, research institutions, startups and key stakeholders to ensure participation and attract investments to the agriculture sector. The investors outreach through roadshows has been planned in Jaipur on April 10, and later in New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Pune.
Principal Agriculture Secretary Manju Rajpal said here that the roadshows would serve as a platform to present Rajasthan’s evolving agricultural landscape, highlight policy support and showcase emerging opportunities in agri-business, food processing and value-added sectors.
“The initiative is also aligned with our broader vision to integrate innovation, advanced technologies and digital solutions into agriculture,” Ms. Rajpal said. The roadshows will facilitate high-level interactions among prospective investors, agritech developers, industry representatives and policymakers, with a focus on finding investment potential in the sector.
GRAM-2026 is expected to connect Rajasthan’s agriculture sector with global investment and innovation. The participants will be provided an overview of the three-day event’s key highlights, including technical sessions, workshops, exhibitions, smart farm and livestock showcases, and dedicated investment dialogues.
The previous edition of GRAM was held in Jaipur in 2016-17. The upcoming edition is expected to witness the participation of about 75,000 farmers from Rajasthan, more than 250 exhibitors, and over 100 companies from India and overseas.
Delegations from regions such as South Asia, Europe, Australia, and North and South America are also likely to participate. Ms. Rajpal said the GRAM-2026 would accelerate the adoption of modern agricultural technologies, foster innovation-led growth and contribute to sustainable agricultural development to enhance farmers’ incomes.
