Agricultural variable rate technology encompasses a segment of technology dedicated to the automated application specifically tailored for agricultural use. This technology relies on the automated application of agricultural data collected through sensors, maps, and GPS. Its primary applications include the precise spraying of fertilizers and chemicals, as well as the accurate planting of seeds, contributing to effective crop production management.
The key categories within agricultural variable rate technology include soil sensing variable rate technology, fertilizer variable rate technology, seeding variable rate technology, crop protection chemical variable rate technology, yield monitor variable rate technology, and irrigation variable rate technology. Sensor-based variable rate technology, distinctively, eschews the use of maps, instead employing mounted sensors to measure real-time soil properties or crop characteristics. The crops targeted by agricultural variable rate technology span cereals and grains, oilseeds and pulses, as well as fruits and vegetables. This technology finds application across diverse farm sizes, encompassing large farms, small farms, and mid-size farms, addressing aspects such as fertilizers, crop protection chemicals, soil sensing, yield monitoring, and irrigation.

The agricultural variable rate technology market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3. 84 billion in 2023 to $4. 38 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14. 0%. The growth observed in the historical period can be ascribed to several factors, including the adoption of precision agriculture, government support and subsidies, heightened awareness of sustainability, the escalating global population, increased demand for food, and the advancement of autonomous machinery.
The agricultural variable rate technology market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7. 38 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13. 9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the emergence of novel agtech solutions, a heightened emphasis on soil health management, advancements in autonomous farming machinery, an increasing need for resource efficiency, and a growing focus on sustainable agriculture. Notable trends expected in the forecast period encompass a concentrated emphasis on water management, the utilization of blockchain for traceability and transparency, the integration of robotic and autonomous farming machinery, a spotlight on carbon farming and emissions reduction, and the integration of data connectivity and IoT.
The expansion of government spending and policymaking in the agricultural domain serves as a substantial catalyst for the growth of the agricultural variable rate technology market. This technology encompasses automated applications specifically tailored for agricultural use. Its implementation is anticipated to yield an 80 percent reduction in labor costs. A groundbreaking innovation in agriculture involves the utilization of drones for pesticide spraying, a trend that has gained substantial traction. This advancement not only gained popularity but also contributes significantly to various agricultural aspects. Notably, in January 2022, the Indian government introduced a scheme offering a full 100% subsidy on drones valued up to 10 lakhs, aiming to promote their utilization in agriculture and alleviate the labor burden on farmers. To support this initiative, Krishi Vigyan Kendras and State Agriculture Universities have initiated training programs for farmers. Furthermore, a dedicated contingency fund of Rs. 6000/hectare has been allocated for leasing drones from Custom Hiring Centres (CHC). Hence, heightened government emphasis and investment in agricultural technologies are pivotal factors propelling the growth of the agricultural variable rate technology market.
The escalating demand for food due to the expanding global population significantly fuels the advancement of the agricultural variable rate technology market. Food, as a vital source of nourishment sustaining growth and life, experiences amplified necessity with the burgeoning population. Correspondingly, the need for high-yielding crops and crop protection amplifies. Agricultural Variable Rate Technology (VRT) assumes a crucial role in meeting this augmented food demand. By facilitating precise and efficient resource application like fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation, VRT enables farmers to optimize crop yields while conserving resources. This technology customizes farming practices to suit distinct field conditions, ensuring that food production matches the escalating demands of the global population while minimizing wastage and environmental impact. As reported by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2023, nearly 2. 4 billion people worldwide lacked regular access to adequate food in 2022, with between 691 and 783 million people facing hunger. Projections suggest that over 600 million people might face hunger by 2030. Thus, the mounting need for food due to the burgeoning population is anticipated to propel the agricultural variable rate technology market's growth trajectory.
Technological advancements are steering the evolution of the agricultural variable rate technology market. Prominent companies in this sector are fervently engaged in devising innovative technological solutions to fortify their market standing. For example, in February 2021, XAG, a China-based agricultural machinery manufacturer, unveiled a new generation of agricultural drones christened XAG P40 Agricultural Drone. Specifically crafted for smallholder farms, the XAG P40 features a 20L smart liquid tank and can cover 15 hectares of land per hour. Another model, the XAG P80 Agricultural Drone, caters to larger field areas, capable of carrying up to 40 kg and covering 20 hectares of land within an hour. These drones play a pivotal role in safeguarding lands against weeds, pests, and diseases. This groundbreaking launch aids medium-to-large farm owners in addressing the prevailing rural labor shortage.
