Agriculture sector in Malaysia faces many evolving challenges e.g.:
• high dependency on foreign workers
• retiring farmers: average age of Malaysian farmers is 50 years old
• lack of automation & technology adoption
• labour shortage
• changing landscape of farming products distribution due to the current unprecedented MCO
With these worrying trends and issues, what does the future hold for agriculture? How can digital and automation address the challenges?
The use of technology in the agriculture sector is no longer just for feeding a burgeoning population, but also to ensure sustainability, and to enable farmers to increase profits and reduce risks. Smallholders represent a major portion of growers, therefore it is vital that affordable digital solutions are made available. The solution must be one that is easy to use and can be deployed for any type of farm or crop.
