Description Technological change, competition and globalization are leading to a
restructuring of agri-business research and development processes and
strategies across the world. Technology transfer is not simply copying
technologies passively from others, but an active and creative process
of adaptation that recognizes indigenous capabilities. The establishment
of small-scale industries in rural areas will help in reducing poverty and
unemployment. At the same time, it is an efficient way of preventing migration
from the rural areas to urban by creating new employment opportunities in the
villages. The majority of rural populations in developing countries and least
developed countries are lacking agro based small-scale enterprises that give
judicious income to farmers through value addition to their agri-produce. What
is needed is a fresh and comprehensive approach, integrating crop production
enhancement and value addition of the produce through village-based agroindustries,
involving farmers as stakeholders in processing their own produce.
