Agriculture is the primary sector in every economy, providing food, and nutrition essential for the survival of humankind. There are several industries associated with it or providing a supporting role. They may be called agro-industries that provide seeds, manure, or pesticide and processing industries. Just as in any other industry accuracy in weighing inputs, processed goods and output is critical for the agricultural industry as well.

Accuracy in weighing helps in legal compliance and standards and helps in inventory management and yield tracking. Accurate weighing of output helps in making forecasts for the future. Accuracy in measuring feeds and other inputs helps reduce wastage and increase return on investment. Fairtrade can be promoted in agriculture only through correct weights and measurements. Overloading and underloading of vehicles can be avoided with quality weighbridge. Therefore, the agricultural industry is always looking for weighing scales or bridges that meet their requirements.
