In its 2022 annual reports for the states of India, NABARD (National Agriculture Board and Rural Development) states that agricultural growth has always been looked at from the perspective of production. Whereas, with the clarion call from the Hon. Prime Minister of India to “double farmers’ profits by 2022,” the focus has now shifted to farmers’ profits. Hence, it’s time to consider agriculture from the perspective of the profits of the agriculture industry.

 

What are the factors that impact agriculture profits?

At ground level, the entire agriculture and farming industries’ functioning and profits depend entirely on the following factors:

  1. Production: weather, seeds, soil constituency, irrigation
  2. Storage and transport: facilities that allow bulk storage of agricultural produce without letting it rot, and of course, the flexibility and availability of trucks that can transport the bulk to the markets in time.
  3. Weighing Solutions: Rudimentary and conventional weighing systems give room for a lot of errors and are inaccurate, which ultimately impacts the end profits of the agriculture industry. This calls for modern technology devices that provide accurate weights of bulk, thus increasing profits.

 

Although production, storage, and transport do impact profits abundantly, in this discussion we shall limit our focus to weighing solutions for the agriculture industry. How can modern technology-based weighing solutions impact the agriculture industry’s profits in a significant way?

Companies in India have been manufacturing, deploying, and implementing load cell-based technology weighing solutions to weigh bulk agricultural products to ensure the accuracy of the bulk weight and the truck weight. Essae Digitronics has been the leading manufacturer of industrial and agricultural weighing solutions for 25+ years. Essae has a multitude of weighing solutions to provide accuracy, reliability, and robustness. Modern technology-based weighing solutions are intended to protect the profits of clients. That is the commitment that Essae offers with each of its installations.

Conclusion

Accuracy of weight is crucial for protecting the profits of the agriculture industry. Accuracy is important in tracking and weighing bulk produce, managing existing stock, and trading bulk produce. Technology-based weighbridges help the agriculture industry with all these and more.

Weighbridges can also be used to reduce wastage, cut losses, and stop pilferage, which naturally leads to increased profits. Inaccurate weighing could either lead to the overloading of vehicles or damage to personnel. Inadequate loading would mean multiple trips to ensure the customer’s needs are met, resulting in fuel and man-hour waste. Intelligently weigh scales that are technology-based help with static and in-motion weighing, record data for future reference, hold the live current weight in the system in situations of power failure, have unmanned toll booths, etc. Benefits are many, profits can be huge, and with Essae Digitronics, these profits remain protected.
