Despite being one of the essential activities for the survival of humankind, the agriculture industry has not seen too much of development except in some European countries and the USA. It is subject to many variabilities, which are beyond human control.
Inputs like seeds, fertilizers, insecticides, and weedicides are available in large varieties and quantities, the skill and knowledge about its usage are very limited. Mainly when most of the workforce engaged in farming are either illiterate or under literate, practising the traditional methods of farming.
Though considerable mechanization of the farming activity like tilling, sowing, de-weeding, threshing has happened, hardly any professional effort has been invested in consolidating and disseminating information on the process of farming, the seeds and insecticides to be used, their dosage, preservation techniques, market information, weather forecast and the likes. Creating knowledge banks and sharing them, deploying the latest information and communication strategies can considerably increase farming efficiency, quality, and yield.
The greatest challenge in the software and Being unaware of the various types of seeds, fertilizers, insecticides, and other farming inputs is one of the significant challenges of the farmer. Similarly, lack of knowledge about other cash crops that can be harvested limits their income and opportunities.
The agriculture and Horticulture department launch various schemes for farming and promotion of highly remunerative crops and financial aid. Most of such information does not reach the farmers due to poor communication channels and rampant illiteracy in the farming community.
Information about the current rate and demand of various crops, vegetables, fruits, flowers etc is unavailable to the farmer in many cases. It leads to their exploitation at the hands of the middle men.
The weather conditions govern all farming activities, and though the government has predictions and forecasts for weather, it does not reach the farmer at his village. Accessibility of information plagues the farming domain. The farmer is not able to get the end customer, and as a result, either his produce rots down in the farm, or he is at the mercy of the tyrannical middlemen.
TechKopra, with its expertise in Agriculture Software Development Services assisted an agriculture scientist in building a digital domain and an application that easily and precisely guides the farmer on the details of seeds, fertilizers, watering, etc.
The solution was developed with compatibility on all platforms like iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac to increase its reach.
n one of the mobile digital solutions, rolled out by TechKopra, details on government schemes with facility of availing the same, technical details of farming inputs, a market place for buying any farming input like seeds, fertilizers, insecticides, packing material, and connectivity with fellow farmers was provided for greater efficiency, convenience, networking and knowledge sharing. Fertilizer calculators and farm software developed by TechKopra have helped the farmers enhance their yields considerably.
Marketing and sales digital solution was also designed and developed for the farming community to reach the end customer. The application had the facility to share details of the agricultural product with price, take orders and ensure home delivery of the products to the end customer.
