Until now Agriculture and Food Had to choose between Big IT that knew little to nothing about their sector OR Tiny IT that got the problem but couldn't deliver solid technology. Luxoft does both.

Cultivating high performance
in agribusiness
Global shifts in health, wealth and population are moving the
world from a period of abundance to scarcity. With demand for
agricultural products projected to increase up to 100 percent by
20501
, the agriculture industry can meet this growing demand
three ways:
1. Put more land into production which has enormous
environmental risks and goes against the Sustainable
Development Goal2
of freezing the footprint of agriculture.
2. Reduce post-harvest loss. Recent advancements in
technology improve the industry’s ability to mitigate
post-harvest loss through connectivity and software that
actively tracks, measures and monitors agricultural products
in real-time helping moving them more efficiently through
the supply chain.
3. Increase total factor productivity. Agribusinesses are
challenged with increasing the amount of food grown per
level of inputs in several ways – 1) science in the form of
better seed or harvesting equipment or 2) tapping into data
analytics tools as well as apps and other software services
that provide real-time insight in the field for optimizing every
aspect of the planting cycle. While science increases potential
yield, utilizing custom software driven by connectivity,
real-time data and sophisticated analytics helps maximize
investment in better seed or equipment.
In fact, putting data harvested from across your business to work
in the field as well as back on the farm is one of the fastest ways
to improve yield, boost revenue and reduce risk.

raw tractor sensor data in real-time in order to stay competitive
and maintain their leadership in the digital age. In meeting the
challenge, Luxoft developed a set of applications that monitors
performance of equipment in the field providing real-time insight
to farmers that helps them optimize yield from initial planting to
harvest. The solution also transmitted data back to the equipment
manufacturer helping them engineer future products for better
performance as well as provide farmers with the ability to do
detailed analysis identifying low yield areas as well as compare
seed performance.
