“…Consistent with previous studies on organic farming [17][18][19], the results show that majority of the respondents have reported lack of reliable marketing channel (2.87) as the most severe constraint faced by organic farmers in the state. This implies that limited and poorly developed marketing networks have prevented the farmers from earning potential prices.…”

Sikkim, a small mountainous state in the northeast region of India launched an organic mission in 2003 and aimed to become fully organic by 2015. Since organic farming was being traditionally practised by most of the Sikkimese farmers since ages, adoption of organic farming in the state was not a difficult task. In 2016, Sikkim was declared “India’s first fully organic state”. However, even after achieving the organic tag, Sikkimese crops have not been able to reach high-value organic markets at a larger scale. Most crops are sold within the state at local markets or roadside-stalls. Production, processing and marketing of organic crops under existing farmer collectives like Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) will further boost the organic mission and benefit the farmers. With the help of a primary survey among 60 organic farmers in Sikkim, this paper first identifies the constraints faced by organic farmers existing still after the launch of organic mission and then advocates role and necessity of existing Farmer Producer Organisations to enhance the mission. On the basis of mean score, constraints in order of severity were lack of reliable marketing channels (2.87), low yield(2.67), incidence of pests and diseases (2.40), competition from non-organic food (2.33), lower profitability compared to conventional farming (2.20), exploitation by middlemen (2.12), high transportation costs (1.98), lack of knowledge about bio-inputs and technology (1.90), lack of storage and processing facilities (1.87) and timely access to seeds (1.68).

“…Regarding scalability, the government could play a transformative role by facilitating technology transfer, providing technical support, and creating an enabling environment for innovation. Initiatives like Agri Udaan, a food and agribusiness accelerator that connects agricultural startups with potential investors and technology experts, are steps in the right direction [42]. Moreover, fostering collaborations between research institutions, technology companies, and farming communities can lead to the development of scalable and sustainable agricultural solutions tailored to the diverse needs of the Indian agrarian landscape.…”

Precision agriculture (PA) integrates advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance the efficiency, productivity, and sustainability of agricultural practices. In India, the adoption of these technologies is emerging as a transformative force aimed at overcoming longstanding challenges such as resource depletion, yield variability, and environmental degradation. This review paper discusses the evolution and current state of PA in India, emphasizing the role of AI and IoT in revolutionizing farming practices. AI enhances decision-making through predictive analytics and machine learning models, enabling precise crop and soil monitoring, disease detection, and yield prediction. IoT complements these capabilities by providing essential infrastructure for data collection and real-time monitoring, facilitating smarter resource management and operational efficiency. The paper identifies key technical, economic, and social challenges hindering the widespread adoption of PA technologies in India, including high initial costs, scalability issues, data privacy concerns, and the impact on traditional farming employment. Solutions such as government subsidies, tailored technology adaptation, and comprehensive farmer training programs are discussed as means to address these challenges. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration in fostering an environment conducive to the growth of precision agriculture in India. Through a combination of policy support, technological innovation, and strategic partnerships, India can fully leverage PA to meet its agricultural goals of sustainability and high productivity.

Agriculture is one of the major activities of human being which help to meet the food demands of the people and also facilitate as supplement of industrial products such as textile, jute, chemical etc. Indian agricultural sector transformed into modernised with the help of green revolution production and distribution of agricultural products has been increasing with significant contribution to GDP. At the same time agriculture sector found a new way to moving organic production with respect to growing demand and mindset of consumers. With this direction, the present paper made on overview discussion on organic production, distribution, export, cultivation and its market size in India with the help of available sources. Organic products are highly demandable products which consist of high cost and value in the market size for organic products has been increasing in a significant manner at global level. Demand for organic products not only in domestic but also in international level with these effects more organic producers are involved in export to various countries. The total volume of export during 2020-21 was 888179.68 Metric Tons. The organic food export realization was around Rs.707849.52 Lakhs.
