I believe it is. The prices of agricultural commodities mostly rise up as seen from a long term perspective.. Agriculture will continue to be core sector of economy in India for many more years. India seems to be switching direct to the service sector economy. Until then, agriculture will stay. While their price will increase, GOLD is the best bet. Dollar(and hence Gold price) is being manipulated, but its fall is certain, or it has already fallen. More focus is needed for Agri sector in order to feed the nation. Looking at the present ratio of supply and demand, think that this can be a worth investment for a long term. There is a much need to give proper concern towards agri sector, moreover now we are no more self sufficient. So in long run, there is enormous scope for the same. Let nobody make business opportunity with agro products and hoard things. In an ideal country farmers should be the happiest persons with government support and the government in turn should make available food products at cheaper prices. Today the middlemen are making money and farmers are always in troubled state while the government is a helpless onlooker. So, in my view, investment in agri-commodities is an attractive investment opportunity from a long term perspective.

I agree to all that it is the right time to invest in the agri-commodities at this point of time in India.

I believe that the year FY 2009-10 will be very good for the agro commodities, we have already seen the prices of few comodities going up. The demand of the products is going high as compared to the supply.

Also we all know that the rain is going to be 15-20% less as compared to the past year, which will affect the supply of these products, resulting into the rise of the commodities.

Also the government will be importing various agro-commodiites because of the less supply, which will also inflate the prices.

Finally, the RBI and the government is expecting an inflation of 5% by end of FY 2009-10 i.e from -1.7% to 5%.. That explains it all...

The bullion market is the most speculative market and hence its is the best to do trading. As of the agri commodities, the markets are yet to get regularised in this scenario and hence it is very crucial to have a clear insight about the track of the market. If the track of the market is good, it is one of the best markets to tap and invest.

I think one should invest in the commodities market. As equity market is company specific and the performance of our investment depends on how well the company and its management performs. Where as the commodity market is linked to the actual supply and demand factors. So the default risk is totally eliminated form the commodity market.

On the contrary the size of the commodity market is so huge than the equity market which gives more liquidity to the market. Where as you have limited market to the company's stock whereas you canc sell your commodity globally, increasing your marketability than the equity.

No we are not.. not right now. We are still in recovery stage and this time I do not think the same mistake will be repeated. Having tough time is one thing and going back to recession is totally different, we cannot mix them.
