South Africa Smart Agriculture Market Research Report, 2027

"The methods of agriculture keep changing, from the domestication of animals and plants to plant rotation and from the green revolution to the fourth evolution, which is smart agriculture. Agricultural technology makes agriculture easier and more productive. The use of information and communication technology (ICT) in agriculture, which is growing exponentially, has sparked the fourth revolution in agriculture. Robotic autonomous vehicles have been created for use in agriculture, including mechanical weeding, fertilizer application, and fruit harvesting. Advanced farm management guidance is now possible because of the development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) with autonomous flight control and lightweight, potent hyper spectral snapshot cameras that can measure crop fertilization levels and biomass development. Farmers can now distinguish between different plant diseases using decision-tree algorithms that are based on optical data. Precision agriculture, precision aquaculture, smart green houses, precision livestock, and precision farming are pioneer methods for smart agriculture and smart agriculture market development in the South Africa. The combination of hardware, software, and related services makes the smart agriculture market more advanced and profitable in the South Africa. According to the Bonafide Research’s report titled “ South Africa Smart Agriculture Market Overview, 2027” the smart agriculture market of South Africa is expected to grow rapidly from the year 2022 to 2027. Precision agriculture is dominating the smart agriculture market in the South Africa. Farmers are able to use agricultural inputs like fertilizers, insecticides, tillage, and irrigation water more efficiently because of precision agriculture. Utilizing inputs more efficiently results in higher agricultural output and quality without harming the environment. The South Africa production agriculture now faces economic and environmental challenges that can be resolved with precision agriculture. It is evident that a large number of farmers have reached a management level where they may profit from precision management. Precision agriculture has the highest market share of around XX% in the South Africa and it is continuously growing rapidly in the market.

Precision agriculture combines modern information-age technology with an established agricultural sector. It is an integrated crop management system in order to match the kind and quantity of inputs with the real crop demands for small regions within a farm field. This helps farmers generate higher profits. The Smart agriculture business has improved greatly because of new farm equipment. Some of the most important and widely used pieces of equipment are the combine or combine harvester, Rotary Tiller, Plough or Plow, Tractor Trailer, Power Harrow, Leveler, water bowser, ripper machine, and disc harrow. Hardware is always an important factor when it comes to agriculture. IOT, drones, AI, Block chain, and robotics are as important in smart agriculture as traditional hardware. This equipment can provide precise field mapping, including elevation data that enables producers to identify any field abnormalities. The huge use of these devices accounts for the higher market size of hardware in the South Africa. The users of smart agriculture software can keep an eye on crop rotations, manure, tillage, irrigation, and the outcomes of soil tests. Inventory management enables farmers to monitor and control the movement of agricultural products from producers to warehouses. The user may monitor how agricultural products are stored as well. Agriculture software is rapidly expanding in the smart agriculture market, with a nearly XX% CAGR in the South Africa. COVID-19 Impacts: COVID-2019 has a substantial impact on agriculture in two key areas: the supply and demand for food. These two factors have a direct impact on food security. Due to mobility constraints, less buying power, and a disproportionate impact on the most disadvantaged demographic groups, food demand and, consequently, food security are significantly impacted. Governments adopt increasingly extreme steps to restrict the virus's spread as cases rise, which also has an impact on the world's food supply. Although some governments take the opposite tack, the fundamental tenet of any policy taken should be to safeguard the population's health and food security at the expense of economic growth.
