India faces several urgent issues. Forty percent of its food is lost between production and consumption. The country has periods of extreme drought alternating between wet periods, with floods, smog, and as a result has highly fragmented agricultural land. Dutch expertise in the fields of agriculture, horticulture and water management can contribute to the solutions for these problems. That will not only help the residents of India, but also presents opportunities for Dutch businesses and knowledge institutions. The trade mission included government officials, representatives from knowledge institutions, and clients of Rabobank Group.
Rabobank’s sponsorship of the Technology Summit was also important for expanding the Netherlands’ footprint in India. The Agri-Tech Finance session, for example, was intended to spark discussions about important issues in the Indian agricultural sector and the role banks play in improving the technological evolution. This discussion was moderated by Rabobank Asia CEO Diane Boogaard, and emphasized issues such as how AgTech can help to address challenges such as climate change
In the week of 14-18 October, Rabobank played several different roles on the state visit and trade mission from the Netherlands to India. In addition to supporting clients and prospects in expanding their footprints in India, Rabobank sponsored the bi-annual Technology Summit. This event hosted by the Indian government (25th edition) drew more than 1,000 companies, organizations and influential policy makers.

And did it have concrete results?
Definitely. Several companies have already made definitive investment plans, and the International Desk will follow up on the event. Rabobank worked on its strategic position as an international F&A bank and invested in knowledge and networks by developing and distributing informative brochures. In the area of water management, the bank also brought together its business relations and generated new leads at the highest levels (partnerships between governments, knowledge institutions and businesses) where Rabobank may join in. Briefly put: Business, Branding and Partnerships.
