The Agriculture Accelerator Fund setup is a huge and important setup in helping the agricultural sector grow. This is a huge incentive for agro startups to work towards crafting solutions for the existing problems of our agriculture sector. This will also attempt in implementing cost-effective solutions to problems encountered by farmers by introducing innovative technologies and ultimately boosting output. The digital public infrastructure that has been proposed will also help in developing solutions that are farmer-centric to our geographies for crop planning and most importantly storage so that the farmers even at grassroots levels are not forced into panic selling. Introducing technology into agriculture is crucial for long-term growth. The implementation now will be key, especially in bringing together farmers, agri-tech start-ups, and research institutes.”
