Our report highlights how players of all sizes must now harness the power of data to make smarter and faster decisions.
For major companies
Digital agritech can create value for stakeholders throughout the agricultural value chain. Digital technologies, including in-field sensors, drones and satellites, now capture data from farms across continents.
For players big and small, the ambition is now to turn data into value – to help players across the agricultural ecosystem take precise actions and improve efficiency further.
Almost all start-ups or technology companies in the agritech space build their businesses around one or more of three types of data-related activity:
Data capture/generation
Data processing and management
Decision support and implementation
Integrated solutions link data capture and analysis to decision support and implementation, to maximise benefit for users. Established companies are all developing platforms that offer farmers easy access to a full range of products and services. Each wants to become the go-to provider – and leaders are emerging.
