It is not just India's globally competent IT engineers who are impressing Americans. Farmers in America are now eager to study and implement the success story of India's agriculture sector.
To begin with, the Florida Department of Agriculture has decided to educating its 40,000 farmers and a number of food processing companies in the state on India's booming retail and agri sectors.
Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles H Bronson has recently released a report titled "India: Road to Success." It details India's retail sector in four major locations, including Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi, and the tri-city region of Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai.
In the report, Bronson says the main aim is to educate "our agricultural producers on the export potential of this market and the significant improvements in the grocery retail sector underway right now."
Agriculture remains a vital part of Florida's economy as it is the second largest contributor.
Bronson says Florida marketers examined India to assist our farmers in developing a better understanding of the willingness of Indian consumers to purchase imported goods.
The report says a modern and sophisticated retail grocery sector is emerging in India amid the traditional kiosks and small shops.
