Technology - Advising Farmers and Crop Yield Assesment

Food security in the light of climate change is a global imperative. In developing nations, the problem is exacerbated by variable weather, lack of reliable extension services to optimize yield and fair market access. In India, most farmers do not have access to weather advisory forecasts that are hyper local to their field and timely in nature. As all farming activities are heavily dependent on weather, decisions on application of fertilizers and pesticide, irrigation, and even plucking of fruits & vegetables and harvesting cannot be taken efficiently. In addition, significant crop losses, that are entirely preventable, accrue through adverse weather events. Crop advisory services, where available, are generic and not pegged to a farmer's seed variety, date of sowing, and growing conditions and hence do not dispense timely, actionable advice, directly relevant to a farmer. Likewise, market trends pertinent to their particular crop and location ...

BKC Aggregators wins HDFC Digital Innovation Award

Good, better, best and never take rest until your good becomes better and better become best; it is the principle which is followed by Dr BK Singh, who is working tirelessly for the welfare of farming community across the country. After winning the Agriculture Grand Challenge (Govt. of India) 2018, BKC Aggregators has won HDFC's Digital Innovation Summit which was organized at IIM Ahmedabad, Gujarat on 31st January 2019.   FASAL SALAH provides timely and personalised agri- advisory for the welfare of farmers, a perfect solution for several problems being faced by farmers. Using dynamic crop models and artificial intelligence analytics, BKC has been able to generate an algorithm for calculation of yields well before the harvest. Thus it is possible now to have an accurate estimate of the crop before it is harvested by the farmers. Forecasting the yield before harvest is going to become strong tool for several problems associated to the losses and difficulties being...

Rice: Food or Fuel ?

Addressing Surplus Rice Stocks The FCI’s warehouses are currently holding rice stocks that are nearly four times the required buffer stock. The high reserve price previously deterred purchases by ethanol distilleries and state agencies, which has exacerbated the surplus. By lowering the price, the government intends to: Alleviate excess stocks. Encourage more efficient distribution of rice to various stakeholders. Enhance the affordability of raw materials for ethanol production. Stock & Procurement As of Nov 2024, Rice stock is 440.76 LMT, against the buffer norm of 102.50 LMT. Reduction in Reserve Price of Rice under OMSS: A Strategic Step Towards Food Security and Sustainable Energy In a significant move to address the surplus rice stocks and promote sustainable energy, the Indian government has announced a reduction in the reserve price of rice held by the Food Corporation of India (FCI) under the Open Market Sale Scheme (OMSS). The reserve price has been slashed ...
