20 Most Promising Ag-Tech Startups - 2019
The agricultural landscape is reshaping itself as customers increasingly resort to sustainably produced goods. By 2050, the global predicted population will be close to 10 billion thus demanding an increase of 70 percent global food production. To keep pace with these demands, the agricultural sector with its conventional ways must pave the way for trending technologies that will make farms even more efficient and seamlessly automate production. Customers can harness the power of various disruptive technologies such as data science, vertical farming and farm drones to achieve its set goals. Additionally, farmers can manage and oversee the farm in real-time and make better informed and quicker decisions. However, Ag-Tech is a fairly new concept not many are familiar with in India. Such innovation-led agricultural practices should ensure every stakeholder in the agricultural chain contributes to and significantly benefits from it. This indicates the need for a strong alliance to be forged with promising Ag-Tech startups in certain focus areas, depending on the customer requirements, supply chain, finance and related solutions, infrastructure development, information platforms and farm data analytics. Ag-Tech startups need to address serious issues such as less landholding size, lower ROI, longer gestation periods, skill and knowledge gaps present while simultaneously developing its business models.
