It results in the adoption rate of big data in smart farming rising across the world.
Moreover, with the use of GPS trackers and sensors, granular data points on soil conditions and detailed information on wind, fertilizer requirements, water availability, and pesticide requirements can be conveyed to farmers. Data acquisition and storage have become easier with the help of big data analysis. In addition, they promote decision-making and other practices used by farmers. Smart farming deploying advanced automation control systems and agriculture equipment can leverage big data to store, analyze, and transmit process-specific information for farmers, which will drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
The adoption of smart farming tools and techniques in both hardware and software is growing worldwide. However, investment in these tools is a major concern in many places. Moreover, software integration is expensive and requires high initial investments. The charges for other data analytics and training are also high, which adds to the overall cost incurred by farmers.
Furthermore, the cost associated with smart farming is based on the type of tools being adopted. The adoption of smart farming technology depends on the land area. For instance, farmers that have a small land area find it difficult to match the level of investment with the yield level in their fields. For larger farms, the initial cost of hardware and software solutions with the entire farm area remains a major challenge. If the farmers have low technical skills, the immediate benefits of smart farming cannot be achieved, which affects the smart farming market during the forecast period.
