Fruit Logistica is widely recognised as one of the world’s most important global trade events for the fresh produce industry. Hosted annually in Berlin, the event brings together stakeholders from across agriculture, horticulture, fresh produce supply chains, logistics, processing, packaging, and agri-technology. Covering the entire journey from farm to shelf, Fruit Logistica has become a […]
In large-scale agriculture, the decisions you make are only as good as the data you have. And when your operations span multiple locations, supply chains, and partners, knowing what’s happening in each area, and acting on it in time, becomes critical. This is where technologies like GIS and remote sensing are transforming the game. No […]
Running a farm was once about soil, seasons, and instinct. Today, it’s just as much about numbers. For years, farm accounts were managed with handwritten ledgers and spreadsheets. But as agribusinesses grow across multiple crops, regions, and partners, manual accounting often results in delays, errors, and poor financial visibility. Agriculture is not just about growing […]
Effective field management is the backbone of successful farming. Whether you manage open fields, orchards, or protected cultivation, the way you plan, monitor, and execute field activities directly impacts yield, quality, and profitability. With rising production costs, labour shortages, unpredictable weather, and stricter compliance requirements, growers can no longer rely on manual notes, guesswork, or […]
Post-harvest management refers to the handling, storage, processing, and distribution of agricultural produce after it is harvested. These post-harvest practices are critical in maintaining product quality and extending the shelf life of produce. The journey from farm to fork involves multiple stages, such as sorting, grading, packaging, storage, and transportation, each requiring precision and care. […]
Parallel to the exponential growth in technology over the past few decades, industries that once relied entirely on manual effort have evolved through innovation and automation. Agriculture is no exception. Farming today is much more than soil, seeds, and sunshine. Over the years, it has evolved into a precise, data-driven activity. Farmers now rely on […]
For large agribusinesses, the challenge extends beyond producing quality fruits and vegetables; it is ensuring they consistently reach markets in peak condition. The financial impact of inefficiencies is massive. According to WRI India, post-harvest losses in 2020–21 were valued at ₹1,52,790 crore (US$18.5 billion). Fruits and vegetables alone accounted for 37% of this loss, underscoring […]
After crops are harvested, the real work of preserving their quality begins. Post-harvest management involves everything from cleaning and grading to storing and transporting. Done right, it can prevent major losses and boost returns for farmers and agribusinesses. Globally, up to 40 percent of food is lost after harvest. These losses are preventable with the […]
Did you know? Nearly 30% of food grains are wasted due to insufficient storage in unoptimized Indian agribusinesses, according to CARE Ratings. In addition, perishable goods are particularly vulnerable, with losses ranging from 5-13% for fruits and vegetables and 3-7% for crops like oilseeds and spices. Ergo, it is crucial to understand that in modern […]
The difference between a profitable season and a loss-making one often comes down to foresight. In the face of climate volatility, stringent compliance standards, and fluctuating market demands, guesswork no longer cuts it. Enter the era of smart planning, where technology drives every decision, and systems are in place not just to execute, but to […]
