Though agricultural productivity is declining and environmentalists are questioning the use of agri-inputs, Indian agriculture cannot do away with agri- inputs. This book, after understanding the past policy environment, agri-input marketing, and promotion strategies of both the government and private companies, suggests frameworks for agri-input marketing companies to align their strategies to the new objective of sustainable agriculture. The book will serve as a text for students in the agribusiness management programmes and also as a guide for practicing managers and policy makers. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Agricultural industries|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85002331|zIndia|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n80125948-781|xMarketing.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005342 650 7 Agricultural industries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/800842 650 7 Marketing.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1010167 651 7 India.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1210276 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Kaundinya, Ram.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2014027365 776 08 |iPrint version:|aVenugopal, Pingali, 1958-|tAgri-input marketing in India|z9788132117711|w(DLC) 2014010048 |w(OCoLC)879851481 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=818635|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
