By tackling current challenges and harnessing new-age technologies, India will emerge as the world leader in agritech in 2025, driving a resilient and thriving agricultural future.

India’s agriculture, which is the backbone of the entire economy, is undergoing a major change, which includes the use of advanced technologies. If 2024 taught us one thing in agri-tech, it was that the industry is heading toward a major path of transformation. This year saw major activity in terms of expansion – mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and new techs like generative AI, precision farming, drones, predictive analysis, and many more.

But we’ve still got some major hurdles ahead. According to the FAO, global and national food production will have to increase by 60 per cent to keep pace with the growing population by 2050. In simple terms, a common farming method will not be enough.

On the positive side, sustainable practices and next-gen technologies are gaining momentum. As we enter 2025, the industry promises to redefine the way it grows, manages, and consumes food.

Agritech in 2024

In 2024, India witnessed a surge in agritech solutions aimed at empowering farmers and enhancing productivity. Key technologies that gained momentum include:

Precision Agriculture– These included IoT devices, GPS, and drones to enhance the use of resources, especially in terms of healthy soil, water demands as well as crop status.

Farm Management Software (FMS)- Farmers found information from digital platforms valuable because it helped them make good decisions and it included information about the market and weather among others.

Vertical and Hydroponic Farming– Farm production in urban areas got a boost with the use of hydroponic systems thus creating opportunities for year-round farming without necessarily using a lot of water. 

Agri-Fintech Solutions– Financial environment emerged as important, while digital lending technologies and insurance products decreased risks for farmers.

Blockchain for Traceability– Creating transparency in the supply chain, due to the application of block chain technology, the consumers were able to track their meals from production right to their plate.

Emerging Trends in 2025

Building on the advancements of 2024, the agritech industry in 2025 is expected to witness the following trends:

AI-Driven Crop Management- AI and machine learning are emerging and finding their way into the centre as tools for the prediction of pests, yields, and early detection of crop diseases.

Climate-Resilient Farming– Due to the rising climate changes, these new agritech startups are concentrating to come up with drought-tolerant seeds, better reports and forecasts on the weather, and parametric insurance to safeguard farmers from harsh political production conditions.

Robotics in Agriculture– Hired helpers, self-propelled tractors, robotic harvesters, and intelligent watering systems are redefining labour–driven processes in farming.

Carbon Farming Initiatives– New social initiatives like approving carbon credit markets, which pay farmers for practicing sustainable methods that decrease greenhouse gas production are good steps.

Using Digital Twins to Optimise Field Trials – A digital copy of a farm—a “twin” that replicates the real conditions of the soil, crops, and even the weather. Agriculture is likely to see an increased use of digital twins in 2025; it will allow farmers to experiment and fine-tune their approaches in a simulated setting before applying them to the actual field.

Company has expanded its language support to include several international languages such as Swahili, French, Spanish, Malay, Portuguese, Turkish, and Arabic.

Satyukt, a global Ag-tech aims to revolutionise farming practices worldwide, announces the expansion of language support for its Sat2Farm mobile application. Sat2Farm, a satellite-based agricultural monitoring system, has widened its language offerings to cater to farmers across the globe, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity for users from diverse linguistic backgrounds.

Agriculture is a global industry, and farmers worldwide need access to technological tools and information. With over 5.35 billion people now connected online, the power of the internet continues to grow, enabling individuals from all corners of the world to engage with a vast array of online resources.

“English has achieved global status, but not all farmers speak English fluently,” says Dr Sat Kumar Tomer, Founder & CEO, Satyukt Analytics. “Providing agricultural apps in vernacular languages ensures that language barriers do not prevent farmers from accessing important information and utilizing the full potential of agricultural technologies.”

Sat2Farm, initially available primarily in English, has expanded its language support to include several international languages such as Swahili, French, Spanish, Malay, Portuguese, Turkish, and Arabic. This expansion aims to make Sat2Farm’s services accessible to a global audience and to better serve users who may not be proficient in English.

“We recognize the importance of language accessibility in reaching farmers across diverse regions and cultures,” adds Dr Sat Kumar Tomer, Founder & CEO, Satyukt Analytics “By expanding language support for Sat2Farm, we aim to empower farmers worldwide with valuable real-time data and insights to enhance their farming practices.”

With the latest update, Sat2Farm users now have access to a comprehensive database covering over 80 pests and diseases commonly affecting crops worldwide. Additionally, users can benefit from 80+ crop calendars available in their preferred language, facilitating optimized farming practices. Furthermore, irrigation advisories tailored for over 50 crops are provided, offering users valuable insights to enhance their irrigation management strategies.

To access Sat2Farm in their preferred language, users simply need to download the Sat2Farm application on their mobile devices from the Google Play Store, install it, select the language of choice, and sign up.

edge satellite-driven product, the Sat2Farm mobile app, to iOS users. This move is set to revolutionize farming practices, providing precision farming advisories to enhance crop yields and minimise input costs for farmers worldwide.

The Sat2Farm Application, previously available on Android, offers detailed farm-level information covering extensive areas with real-time data minimizing the necessity for labor-intensive farm management tasks. This cost-effective approach supersedes traditional methods and plays a pivotal role in advancing precision agriculture and sustainable crop management. It enables farmers with varying land sizes, from small to large holdings, to embrace precision farming practices. With over 1 lakh acres already benefiting from the Android version across the globe, this iOS launch opens up new possibilities for farmers, Farmer’s Producer Organizations (FPOs), government departments, agri-input, and agri-output companies.

The increasing trend in smartphone penetration worldwide, coupled with the expansion of iOS availability, greatly enhances the potential for Sat2Farm to tap into a broader and more diverse market spectrum.

Sat2Farm offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to empower farmers with precision farming tools. These include the ability to assess soil health, monitor crop health, access real-time soil moisture data, and receive accurate 15-day weather forecasts without the need for physical intervention. Additionally, the app provides valuable insights through its pest and disease advisory system, allowing farmers to proactively address potential threats to their crops. The app utilises satellite data to detect essential soil macronutrients such as N, P, K, Soc and pH values accessible within a click, eliminating the need for physical soil sampling. This sets the app apart from any other similar offerings in the market.

The Sat2Farm App features collectively contribute to significant benefits for farmers, including a remarkable 25 per cent to 30 per cent increase in crop yield, a substantial 50 per cent reduction in the usage of pesticides and fungicides, a 50 per cent boost in farm income, a 30 per cent improvement in crop water productivity, and a 5-10 per cent reduction in agri-input costs. Perhaps most notably, Sat2Farm eliminates the need for capital expenditure (CapEx), making it an accessible and cost-effective solution for farmers seeking to optimize their agricultural practices.

Dr Sat Kumar Tomer, and Dr. Yukti Gill co-founders of Satyukt Analytics Private Limited, emphasized the app’s significance, saying, “Sat2Farm empowers farmers to transform their day-to-day agricultural practices using satellite-based precision farming. We are committed to helping farmers increase their income while also promoting sustainable agriculture.”
