Farmers & FPOs have limited information to help them plan their sowing, nutrition, harvesting and procurement more smartly | Frequent or near-real time availability of hyperlocal weather, soil, water-logging, drought and irrigation information | IMD, MoES, IARI, Agri Ministry, NRSC/ISRO | Higher yields and incomes for farmers |

Thereby giving a boost to quantum of exports |
