Agricultural inputs are essential for rural development and marketing. There are two types: consumable inputs like seeds, fertilizers, and veterinary medicines, and capital inputs like tractors and irrigation equipment.

Fertilizer use has increased food grain production significantly in India, though consumption remains low compared to other countries. Pesticide use is also increasing to combat crop losses, with insecticides currently making up over half of the market. Mechanization brings benefits like increased yields and income, though customized equipment and training are needed given India's diverse farm sizes and conditions. Irrigation potential

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available.

The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
