The Indian Micro Fertilizers Manufacturers Association (IMMA) concluded its 4th National Crop Nutrition Summit in Mumbai, unveiling a series of agri-tech innovations that echo Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of revolutionising Indian agriculture with drone technology. This landmark event marked the debut of sophisticated AI-driven drones and digital soil scanning technologies by pioneers Aries Agro Limited, Multiplex Drone, and many others, heralding a new dawn for farming efficiency and sustainability in India.
Dr Rahul Mirchandani, President of IMMA, shared, “The technologies showcased at the summit are monumental in advancing toward a future where every farm in India can harness the efficiency and precision of AI and digitisation. These innovations exemplify the transformative potential of agri-tech in enhancing crop yield, minimizing resource waste, and promoting sustainable farming practices.”
The event spotlighted various agri-tech solutions for precision farming, real-time crop monitoring, aerial spraying, and comprehensive data analytics. Meanwhile, Aries Agro introduced a revolutionary soil testing kit, offering instant and accurate soil health assessments to enable informed crop nutrition management.
“The integration of these advanced technologies into everyday farming practices is a testament to India’s readiness for a digital agricultural revolution. Embracing agri-tech is pivotal for the sector’s growth, contributing significantly to national food security and environmental sustainability” stated Sameer Rajan Pathare, Vice President of IMMA.
The summit not only served as a platform for technological unveilings but also fostered critical discussions on ‘ease of doing business’ policies for enabling the innovative products to reach the market. A blockbuster panel of experts including industry, government, legal professionals, and innovators discussed policies that will serve as catalysts for agri-tech adoption, liberalised licensing, export promotion and rural digital infrastructure development. These conversations underscored the necessity of supportive policy frameworks and public-private partnerships in achieving the widespread implementation of agri-tech solutions.
As the 4th National Crop Nutrition Summit concludes, the path forward for Indian agriculture is clear – embracing AI, digitization, and sustainable technologies is crucial for transforming the sector. IMMA remains committed to spearheading this change, advocating for policies that facilitate the adoption of agri-tech innovations, and working towards a future where technology-driven farming is the norm across India.
