Challenges in E-agriculture
Lack of awareness and literacy among farmers about the use and benefits of e-agriculture.
Lack of digital infrastructure which includes lack of accessibility and affordability to internet,
mobile phones, and other ICT devices.
Digital Divide also poses a challenge in adoption of e-agriculture.
Even where farmers have access to mobile phones, they are reluctant to talk on phone themselves and may employ a middle man who can distort the communication.
Way Forward
Harnessing the full potential of e-agriculture will require the implementation of a complex set
of policy, investment, innovation, and capacity-building measures, in concert with beneficiaries and other partners, which will encourage the growth of locally appropriate, affordable, and sustainable ICT infrastructure, tools, applications, and services for the rural economy.
