Impacts of Digitalization in The Agriculture Sector

Authors(1) :-Ragini Agrawal

Like every sector, digitalization has impacted the traditional manufacturing sector and helped the entrepreneurs find solutions to the rudimentary problems faced by everyone involved in the field. The major problems that are faced by the farmers in 21st century India are the size of farm lands, dependency on monsoon for irrigation, dependency on quality seeds, fertilizers and pesticides and subsidies, storage and financing and lastly transportation. These problems are being solved with the adaptation of digitalization and real time monitoring of raw material and produce. And All of this has been made possible with the entry of young and talented entrepreneurs who have revolutionized the space and set in flow a model where each farmer is now a part of the system and it now need not worry about the other factors and simply focus of his/her expertise, i.e growing crops to feed the population. This has resulted in higher prosperity and less wastage, and them getting a fair price for their produce.
