ICT in Agriculture Value Chain, especially during post-harvest operations in India
Inefficiencies in the post harvest value chain in Indian agriculture stifle farmer incomes and are a barrier to the realisation of the full potential of Indian Agriculture. These inefficiencies arise from losses during harvesting, threshing, drying, poor storage facilities, transportation problems, defective packaging, manual assaying, legacy marketing practices and flawed policies etc. We review the issue of post harvest inefficiencies and the potential of ICTs to help sort some of these issues. Certain recent initiatives of the government in India towards using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in post harvest management like geotagging of agri warehouses, reefer vehicles and cold storages are a step in the right direction. Further, to address the issue of access of smallholder to such facilities, certain innovative pilot projects are being developed. Non-profit as well as private sector initiatives in this space are also showing an encouraging trajectory.
