Harvesting Tech In Farming: A Deep Dive Into The $25 Bn Agritech Market Opportunity

The Indian agritech sector has seen significant growth in recent years, with over 1,000 startups operating in the country. These startups are focused on addressing challenges faced by farmers, such as a lack of fair prices for their produce, small landholdings, and supply chain inefficiencies. Despite the potential, agritech penetration in India is still relatively low, and the sector faces challenges like the digital divide and long adoption cycles. However, investors have shown increasing interest in the sector, and government initiatives and funding are supporting its growth. The market opportunity for agritech in India is expected to reach $25 billion by 2025.
