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 […]
Did you know? Labor shortages and manual processes are costing plant nurseries time and money. In fact, according to Business Plans, effective inventory control can cut plant spoilage by up to 25%, yet many nurseries still rely on pen-and-paper tracking. To stay competitive, modern growers are turning to digital nursery tracking systems that streamline operations. […]
The nursery production market is blooming at a rapid pace. According to Research and Markets, this sector has seen strong growth and is projected to increase from $353.26 billion in 2024 to $387.01 billion in 2025, with a remarkable CAGR of 9.6%. But as the industry grows, so do the complexities of managing large-scale nursery […]
What Is Climate Smart Agriculture? Climate-smart agriculture (CSA), as defined by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), is an integrated approach to managing landscapes—cropland, livestock, forests, and fisheries—that addresses the interlinked challenges of food security and climate change. CSA aims to sustainably increase agricultural productivity, enhance resilience, and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, wherever possible. […]
Smart farming is transforming traditional farming methods by integrating cutting-edge technology, optimizing resources, and improving efficiency. With the rise of smart agriculture technology, farmers can now make data-driven decisions to enhance productivity and sustainability. In this blog, we’ll understand what is smart agriculture? how it differs from traditional methods, and why the world needs smart […]
Pest and disease management is a critical aspect of modern agriculture. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, global crop production losses due to pests and diseases are estimated at 20-40% annually, costing the global economy over $220 billion. Traditional pest and disease management practices rely heavily on manual monitoring, pesticide […]
