In India, Food demand likely to nearly double from ~440 in 2007 to ~850
million metric tons in 2020
Demand Situation
• The world has to double food production by 2030
• Increasing income levels and educational levels raising
demand for better food
• The current high prices are an indicator
• Meat consumption expected to increase rapidly (1 unit
needs 5 units of crop output)
