India’s agritech ecosystem is poised for major growth, driven by new digital solutions and a strong agricultural foundation. As one of the leading “Explorer” countries like China and Brazil, who are revolutionising development in this sector, India is ripe for development through investments in agritech. For instance, the country recently teamed up with Brazil to establish an incubator for agritech startups, providing support through mentoring, networking, and workshops. This collaboration showcases India’s commitment to enhancing its agritech sector and highlights the exciting opportunities for Indian manufacturers at the upcoming Indusfood Agritech trade fair.
Agritech is growing globally, with significant investments pouring into key regions. As of April 2020, global funding for agritech was US$ 4,083 million, excluding India, which received ~ around US$ 532 million. China and North America lead in funding, particularly in “Precision agriculture and farm management.” In contrast, India has seen greater investments in “Supply chain tech and output market linkage.”
Agriculture is a cornerstone of the Indian economy, contributing 16.7% to the GDP and employing around 60% of the population. With its burgeoning strength in agricultural innovations, India is poised to become a major global player in the sector. Ranking second only to China, India accounts for 11.9% of the global agricultural GVA of US$ 3,320.4 billion and the sector contributes 12% to the nation’s exports.
Renowned as the world’s leading producer of several agricultural commodities including cereals, fruits and vegetables, tea, coffee, spices, milk, jute, and pulses, India is now capturing global attention with its rapidly growing agritech sector, signaling a bright future for agritech in the country.
India’s agritech scene is bustling with startups reshaping farming through organic practices, equipment rentals, connected supply chains, and cloud-based analytics. Technologies like big data, IoT, AI, drones, and ML are being used for decision support, precision farming, and insurance assessments.
The industry has experienced a remarkable tenfold growth in the past three years, driven by four pivotal factors: the expanding digital reach throughout India, supply chain disruptions due to COVID, rising consumer demand for high-quality produce, and growing interest from private equity and venture capital.
At present there are about 2,800 agritech startups recognised by Startup India (as of 31st Dec 2023). These startups have been termed as a “ray of hope” driving innovation and transforming the way agriculture is traditionally done in India. A report by Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER) highlights that between 2014 and 2019, agritech startups in India secured ~$545 million in venture capital. In the fiscal year 2021-22, the sector attracted $1,604 million, four times the amount in FY 2020-21.
Agritech startups are drawing substantial investment due to their innovative technologies. Since 2021, funding to agritech has comprised 45.8% of all-time funding to the sector, totaling around US$ 6 billion.
The Indian government is actively promoting agritech startups by providing financial and technical support through the “Innovation and Agri-Entrepreneurship Development” program under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY). Since 2018, this initiative has facilitated the growth of the startup ecosystem with 5 Knowledge Partners and 24 RKVY Agribusiness Incubators training and incubating agri-startups. From 2019-20 to 2023-24, Rs. 111.57 crores were distributed to 1,554 agritech startups.
Experts are optimistic about the future of agritech in India, predicting up to 10,000 agritech startups by 2030. This growth is expected to create millions of jobs in rural areas and significantly boost agricultural productivity and sustainability. With continued government support and private investment, the adoption of agritech solutions will continue to accelerate.
