According to the report agritech is poised to play a key role in driving the fulfilment of global food production target.

The report which is titled Agritech: “Shaping Agriculture in Emerging Economies, Today and Tomorrow” highlights agritech services comparative advantages in enabling sustainable farm production and running supply chains efficiently.

Going by a United Nations (UN) projection global population which currently stands at 8,005,176,000 will reach 8.5 billion by 2030, and 9.7 billion in 2050.
