Controlled-release fertilizers are meant to prevent loss of nutrients of a crop. They are an important ingredient in crop production process. As per analysis by Food and Agriculture Organization, it is predicted that usage of fertilizers can increase the crop’s productivity by 55%. They help crops absorb nitrogen efficiently thereby, reducing loss of nitrogen and are specialized to maintain soil quality all through the harvesting season.
Hydroponic is a method of growing plants without soil. Hydroponic farming is steadily gaining popularity over traditional framing method owing to its advantages such as high quality vegetables and high yield in less time.
Soil stabilization is a term referred to the process of converting natural soil to build highways, roads etc. Methods employed to change the soil can be physical, chemical or biological through which texture, tensile strength, waste bearing capacity etc.
The global market for agriculture sensors is expected to cross US$ 2.75 Bn by 2026 at a CAGR of 12.8% throughout the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. Countries across the world are facing challenges from rising population and their food demand. According to United Nations (UN), the global populations is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050 from 7.3 billion in 2015.
Global Agriculture Market Analysis
The production of agriculture across the globe is predicted to expand by nearly about 1.5 percent annually in future as reported by OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). The prices of goods are projected to diminish as compared to the year 2011 data. It will average at twenty percent or lesser than that for cereals and thirty percent or lesser than that for meats during the next decade. Owing to growing manufacturing costs, crops comprising oil seeds and coarse grains will display lesser yield. There will be less change in cattle production with per capita income set to increase greater than 0.5 percent every year.
Growing worldwide population is putting enhanced pressure on agriculture sector to fulfill the demand for food. Vital breakthroughs and significant growth in seeds, fertilizers and chemicals has assisted the agriculture industry in satisfying the demand for food. With the global population set to expand by 1.2 billion before the culmination of this decade and regular calorie consumption rising by more than 500 calories per day during the last few years, the intake of food will continue to grow and farmers will become growingly dependent on mechanization and technology to enhance food production. By end of year 2050, there will be more than three billion to be fed owing to which the demand for production of meat will increase by about three fourths and cereal output will have to be improved by one billion tons.
