Indian Journal of Agricultural Marketing, 2022, vol. 36, issue 3

Abstract: Indian agriculture includes a mix of traditional and modern farming practice and techniques. However, since 2002 India has become the world’s largest manufacturer of tractor and occupied world’s largest tractor market, in some parts still using cattle to plough their arable land. Now there is need for work on cost-effective technologies with environmental protection and conservation. India is blessed with largest arable land with 15 agro-climatic zones having almost all types of weather conditions where almost all types of needful crops are cultivating. But less use of technology, mechanization, low access of credit, small land holding, lack of information, unorganized market nature makes Indian farming unproductive and loss-making sector. E-agriculture or ICT in agriculture targets to make agriculture more vibrant. Introduction of technology in farming made exposer to producers as well as consumers. No doubt, if it works properly both producer and consumer will get benefited.
