It’s time to alter agriculture.

This industry is one of the fundamental building blocks of an economy, stretching back to the beginning of human civilisation - but that doesn’t mean it can’t benefit from more modern techniques.

In fact, in such an unstable sector so easily affected by year-on-year trends outside of our grasp, sourcing a solution with stability at the forefront is vital. Less than 20% of global acreage is being given the technological treatment, leaving opportunity wide open for firms ready to sow their seed in the digital age. From the data analytics being used in head office, to workers in the field performing the manual labour needed for operation, the supply chain is set to change. Are you ready?

On The Production Line

At the heart of the agricultural sector is production; this is vital to the predicted digital transformations gently beginning to rock the industry. Central to this is the digital technologies that put the power of data collection, analysis, and insight into agricultural consultancy.

  Streamline The Supply Chain

Fundamental to running a successful business in the agricultural sector is securing a succinct supply chain. With effective communication between company field agents confirming this and feeding back vital information, food can stay accessible.

  It's Time To Innovate

This sector has grounded itself on its ability to survive changes in the digital world and prevail with basic methods. But you shouldn’t be aiming to merely survive; your business model needs a complete rethink to kickstart your innovation.

  Opt For Operations

Optimise yield and raise revenue with data-driven projects that can direct your business to the specific areas of production your team needs to be focusing on, as well as helping run the numbers on crop failure and your environmental impact.

For The Customer

This industry might not appear to be as customer-centric as other sectors such as retail, but it’s that focus on data which is just as rooted in providing for the customer as it is streamlining production. Boosting that productivity is primarily based on responding to customer demand via data-driven insights, and ensuring that production can both meet those demands, and avoid wasting time and money on unnecessary production.

Indeed, it's the forces which dispute the need for digitalisation in this industry due to the belief that customer demand will not waver which confirm its potential; whilst your business might always have a certain level of demand when put forward to customers, alternative competitors can draw away your clientele for faster, more innovative products and practices, and suitable marketing. A lot goes into our agricultural consulting, but far more comes from it, too.

This furthers the initial benefits of the technology introduced.

What are the trends for the agriculture industry?

The specific trends that are currently reshaping the sector include IoT and sensor-based equipment, drones and crop monitoring technology, robotics and artificial intelligence, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) sensors and tracking, machine learning and analytics. Each different cluster of technologies interacts with another.

Is the agriculture sector in decline?

The agriculture sector is in decline due to labour moving out of the sector and falling food prices.
