Abstract: According to a Grand View research report, the global precision farming market, valued at USD 6.96 billion in 2022, is projected to grow at an annual growth rate of 12.8 % through 2030. Digital agriculture and irrigation technologies offer substantial potential to increase agricultural productivity and enhance food security by optimizing water use, potentially saving up to 300 billion m3 of water annually and generating economic benefits of approximately USD 11 trillion. However, the absence of cohesive national or regional strategies to highlight specific regional potentials and prioritize investments risks inefficient resource allocation and reduced returns.
