Agriculture faces unprecedented challenges and opportunities to meeting future consumer demand. With world population rapidly growing and natural resource constraints facing society, agriculture must find ways to double yields in the next 30 to 40 years. The significant advances of seed technology over the last decade greatly increased crop production and changed the industry. In this rapidly changing industry accurate analytics are critical to guide decisions.
We expect the leading innovators will become even more productive in creating or adapting new products, and will strive to improve productivity and efficiencies in getting those products to the market. There will be a ripple effect through the value chain of the industry.
Manufacturers will seek more innovative solutions to increase farming productivity, such as genetic advancement, cutting-edge equipment to improve precision farming, and enhanced bundle services such as GPS, input applications and financing for producers. Manufacturers will collaborate with other sectors to find innovative solutions. Regulatory challenges are likely to increase which translate to additional cost and liability across the ag community.
Producers will look to manufacturers for customized solutions that contribute to their agronomic needs, mitigate their risks and improve their bottom line performance. While more innovative product choices will become available, they will still expect access to them, and continue to be price conscience. A clear idea return on their input investment will be required to inform their purchase decisions.
The surge in product choices will increase complexity for retailers/ distributors. This channel will be even more proactive in learning new innovations and multiple factors to consider, such as infield benefits, regulatory, and sustainability. Improving efficiency and profitability are key motivators in their business strategies.
