Agriculture & Agritech
Agriculture in India sits under a distinct regulatory and contractual framework, land tenancy, contract farming, agri-input licensing, that most general commercial lawyers do not work in regularly. We do, and we understand how it interacts with the agritech platforms now built on top of it.
Agribusinesses and processors
Contract farming and procurement agreements that manage quality and delivery risk.
Farmer Producer Organisations
FPO formation, governance and compliance advisory.
Agri-input and seed companies
Licensing and compliance for seed, fertiliser and pesticide products.
Agritech platforms
Data protection and IP advisory for platforms serving farmers and agribusinesses.

Where we come in
Five mistakes we often see.
Each one creates risk specific to how agricultural businesses actually operate.
Contract farming agreements that do not address quality disputes
Without clear quality standards and dispute resolution, disagreements over produce quality at delivery become difficult to resolve fairly.
FPOs structured without clear governance documentation
Governance disputes among FPO members are common where roles, decision-making and benefit-sharing were never clearly documented.
Agri-input products sold without confirming state-level licensing
Licensing and registration requirements for seed, fertiliser and pesticide products can vary by state, and assuming national uniformity creates compliance gaps.
Land leases that do not account for state tenancy restrictions
Some states impose specific restrictions on agricultural land leasing that generic lease templates do not address.
Agritech platforms treating farmer data like any other user data
Farmer data often includes sensitive information about land, income and operations that deserves more careful handling than generic consumer data.

Questions
Common questions.
General information only, not legal advice. Every situation differs, so speak to us about yours.
What should a contract farming agreement cover?
Quality standards, pricing mechanism, delivery timelines, and a clear dispute resolution process for quality or delivery disagreements.
We draft agreements that are fair and enforceable for both the agribusiness and the farmers involved.
How do we structure a Farmer Producer Organisation?
FPOs are typically structured as producer companies or cooperatives, with governance documentation covering membership, decision-making and profit-sharing.
We help you choose the right structure and build the governance framework.
What licensing applies to selling seeds or agri-inputs?
This varies by product category and state, generally requiring registration or licensing under applicable seed, fertiliser or pesticide regulations.
We confirm the specific requirements applicable to your product and location.
Are there restrictions on leasing agricultural land?
Some states impose specific restrictions on agricultural land leasing and tenancy that vary from general commercial lease principles.
We advise on the specific framework applicable to your land's location.
How should our agritech platform handle farmer data?
With particular care given the sensitivity of information about land, income and farming operations, alongside standard DPDP Act compliance.
We help you build a data framework appropriate to this sensitivity.
How much does this cost?
Fixed-fee packages are available for common needs like agreement drafting or FPO structuring. Regulatory and compliance work is scoped separately.
Fees are agreed in writing before work starts.
