This document discusses using data analytics in agriculture. It notes that agricultural data comes in many forms, including structured and unstructured data from public and private sources on topics like climate, soil, crops, diseases, and market prices. Challenges include turning this data into actionable outcomes like predictive analytics and apps that link farmers to service providers. Existing mobile and call center approaches are limited and could be improved with personalized advisories, two-way voice and image exchanges, and up-to-date farmer profiles. Example scenarios where data analytics could help include market intelligence, process optimization, and integrated services that provide advice, financing, inputs and sales channels on a single platform. An interactive system is proposed to disseminate personalized advisories
