Why we do, what we do

We pride ourselves in being a part of this definitive journey.

India is regarded as one of the major players in the agricultural sector globally. Our rural population is reported at ~ 65% and the sector contributes to 20% of the nation's GDP. As the second-largest holder of agricultural land worldwide, the sector employs about half the country’s population and so millions of lives depend on it for sustenance.

At Regent Standard, we see the huge potential and responsibility the sector carries. Our government is investing heavily in irrigation facilities, warehousing and cold storage, and we believe that private funding should bolster their efforts. As one of the fastest growing economies in the world, consumer spending in India is expanding and the food industry is poised for huge growth.

With a bright path ahead India is expected to achieve the ambitious goal of doubling farm income by 2022. According to Inc42, the Indian agricultural sector is predicted to increase to US$ 24 billion by 2025. The Indian food and grocery market is the world’s sixth largest, with retail contributing 70% of the sales.
