Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy. Agriculture has a tremendous impact on India's overall economic growth. India's agriculture industry accounts for 1% of the country's exports. The fairs provide a market for high-quality seeds, such as beans and groundnuts, that are not generally available through industrial sellers. Input trade fairs assist local agricultural retail companies and encourage them to expand their trade to more remote places, which benefits both them and farmers.
The community and the government fund several fairs and exhibitions to encourage people to network and learn new things. There are many events and festivals held by the government in order to keep our farmers up to date with the latest information and facilities, so these events play a major role in a farmer’s life.
What Do Farmers Stand to Gain from the Fair?
Promotion of goods, brands, and services at farmers' markets reaches a large potential market. The event provides an opportunity to network with consumers, potential dealers, and agencies. The fair displays and promotes valuable items and services. The farmers' market offers live demonstrations of the most recent concepts and technologies.
The major objective and purpose of this programme are to provide answers to critical concerns that farmers face and to increase knowledge about improved production practices, crop protection tactics, and post-harvest management approaches. The event brings together agri-professionals, policymakers, government representatives, like-minded individuals, and media from around India to discuss the agricultural business.
Fairs and festivals' role in agriculture and rural development
Festivals and special events are well-known for their importance in destination development as attractions, image builders, animators of static attractions, and catalysts for further developments. In addition to the economic benefit of increased tourism, festivals and special events extend the destination's tourist season, provide cultural and educational opportunities, foster a sense of community pride, help conserve sensitive natural, social, and cultural environments, and contribute to sustainable development.
Event and festival tourism is one of the fastest expanding segments of the tourist industry. It is gaining popularity in rural regions as a method of revitalizing local economies. According to the International Festival and Event Association (IFEA), the special events business is projected to have 4 to 5 million regularly recurring events and has a substantial economic impact.
The benefits of festivals and special events are more clearly illustrated in rural areas, notably in terms of improving local economies, sustaining employment, and promoting rural destinations.
