Smart Agro: Agriculture with Technology and Management

Abstract

This project is made with aim of ONE STOP SOLUTION for the AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY with solving for increasing income of INDIAN FARMER & for revolution in agriculture industry we are making platform SMARTAGRO, SMARTAGRO MANDI & AGROVILLOTOURISM in the form of web application. We have done the on ground research in villages of Varanasi District , Ghazipur District & Ballia District and many more after looking all the problem like not using scientific & technical method to increase income we come with solution which can give our country Agricultural Entrepreneur. We are completely increasing the culture for taking farming as business our solution starting with what to do & how to do with end goal to sale the product with high profit. We are aiming to also increase agrotourism in India create a good cross market for agriculture & tourism. Overall our platform is coming with AGRICULTURE WITH TECHNOLOGY & MANAGEMENT :- “SMART AGRO”

Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

 Overview:

A. Agriculture With Management & Technology

Indian farmer not getting profit as that need due to that rural development is slow.

More than 80% percentage of rural & village people occupation is related to agriculture.

If agriculture will treat as industry then their will basically development will in rural area.

Firstly Agriculture Sector is taken as industry & we have to work like all other industry with management & technology implementation.

For better productivity we should implement technology in farming which cover all technology it can be mechanical as well as computational like AI,ML& IOT.

For better profit we should implement management skill like market search, input/output cost & profit & most important marketing & sells.

B. Smart Agriculture

Indian farmer should do smart agriculture in following ways:

1. With proper research of market. With proper weather condition. With training. Scientifically.
2. Organic farming. Dairy. Poultry farming.
3. Exotic farming. Making their farming as business model. Deliver their product b2b & b2c directly.

  C. Agriculture With Technology

Indian farmer should do implement technology agriculture in following ways :

1. Use of internet for research & training. Disease diagnosis of crops. Mechanical product for fast processing. Intelligent spraying & irrigation.
2. Soil check which is also free that can reduce the cost of fertilisers & pesticides.
3. Most important sow that seed that is genetically developed & give maximum profit.
4. Crop & soil monitoring.
5.  Use of internet for selling purpose.

 D. Agriculture With Management & Business Model

Indian farmer should do agriculture in proper business model & for that they should follow below thing that I mention:

1. Organic farming & selling it b2b & b2c.
2. All session farming of non sessional crops/fruits/ vegetable.
3. Specific fruit & vegetable farming.
4. Framing of that things which have international demand.
5. Framing of that things which are less in market.
6. Framing of that things which have most demand in market.

E. India & Rural Development With Agriculture

If there is development in agriculture sector it will give occupation in many sector.

More occupation in agriculture sector will increase economy of rural area.

If economy & profit increase then rural development will automatically take its height.

II. BACKGROUND

When any country farmer condition improve then that country going to grow automatically

But in India farmer’s conditions is not so good. Farming methodology is outdated & framing is not take as business. If we want to grow firstly we should focus on agriculture sector of India and treat agriculture as industry like other for example IT industry, fabric industry etc.

We find that Indian farmers are not taking farming as business but they just doing framing sell it any how with many time loss or without good prize.

For framers improvement we should need their training about scientific methodology of agriculture and tell them how to do business of their farm product, how to sell directly to end customer, how to mange every things in framing & get maximum profit.

After understanding of problem of agriculture industry we review lot of agriculture research on ground we come with solution SMART AGRO

III. ON - GROUND RESEARCH

We have done on ground research about farming, different type of farming & most important about the farmer also. Now firstly talking about the farmer then rate of input money & rate of output money or we can say that overall income is not totally satisfactory .

We have that if farmer going to farming with proper research & scientifically with also proper management and technology then their income will be most higher than any industry individual . 

We have done the research than freer need the help of this things : -

1. Training
2. Market Research
3. Supplies & Support
4. Technology Support
5. Sales & business support
6. Advance technology agriculture

Over all demand is that taking agriculture as business & framer as agricultural Entrepreneur & Business man. 

We have done the on ground research  in  villages of Varanasi District , Ghazipur District & Ballia District and many more

IV.  OBJECTIVE & SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
