Demand for Better Yield to Fuel Implementation of Smart Agriculture Technologies

As smart technologies make headway across industries, the agriculture sector is not to be left behind. A considerably rising demand for the same is noted especially across the agriculture sector in developed economies. These developments are currently implemented to reduce human effort at the same time boost agricultural yield. Latest technologies such as micro controller, cloud- or web-based platform, cameras, sensors, and smart devices, sensors, and cameras are implemented to help farmers understand their land condition better.

The need for latest and smart technologies in agriculture is primarily triggered by the persistent want for food to feed the globally rising population. Many countries are deploying smart agriculture also to keep track of their livestock and monitor their health. Besides this, the market is expected to gain impetus in response to the increasing demand for precision farming. Precision agriculture comprises remote sensors that capture multi-band images of crops from drones and UAVs. Also the rising trend of corporate farming is expected to fuel the demand for smart agriculture technologies. In addition, the rising scarcity of arable lands is tipping scales in favor of smart agriculture to help pursue greenhouse farming.

Lack of Knowledge among Farmers to Curb Growth Potential in Underdeveloped Nations

On the downside, the market is reeling under lack of awareness about advanced technologies among farmers. The scenario is exacerbated in developing and under-developed economies where farmers are coping with meager knowledge and feudalistic ways of selling crops. To make matters worse, the high cost of smart devices is inhibiting their use in the agriculture sector, despite abundant opportunities across emerging nations. Nevertheless, with internet penetrating even in remote areas, soon the aforementioned problems are likely to get mitigated. Besides the availability of high-speed internet, favorable government initiatives to educate farmers about the benefits of implementing smart technologies will aid in the market’s expansion.
