Managing editor for Agribusiness Crop Science Market Reporting
Akashpratim Mukhopadhyay is the Managing Editor of S&P Global Agribusiness’ Crop Science Market Reporting team, where he leads global coverage of crop protection, sustainability, digital agriculture, and biotechnology from his base in New Delhi.
He guides the development of high‑impact news and market intelligence that help industry decision‑makers navigate regulatory changes, the rise of biologicals, and rapid technological shifts shaping modern agriculture.
Widely regarded as a clear and insightful voice in the sector, Akashpratim is a regular speaker at major agrochemical and biologicals conferences. His talks dig into the policy, regulatory, and market pressures influencing the future of crop protection — and why they matter. Before joining S&P Global (formerly IHS Markit), he spent several years in senior editorial roles with one of the world’s largest business dailies, where he coordinated multiple regional editions and shaped coverage across key economic beats.
Grounded in a background in English journalism and driven by a deep interest in the links between climate policy, agriculture, and emerging markets, Akashpratim brings a broad, global perspective to his work. His reporting doesn’t just track industry change — it helps make sense of it, highlighting the forces that will shape the next chapter of sustainable agriculture.
