The Centre is planning to set up a dedicated cell for agriculture startups and small entrepreneurs, an official said on Tuesday.

Addressing an event organised by Ficci here, National Rainfed Area Authority (NRRA) CEO Ashok Dalwai said there are numerous areas where startups can help farmers reduce cost and increase income.

He also stressed upon the need to create a platform for standardized and structured data that can be accessed free of cost.
