Abstract
This case discusses how innovative technology is helping the agricultural sector in Bangladesh. It focuses on how the agri-tech companies have become a blessing for farmers of Bangladesh to get access to better services in the agriculture sector. The core focus of these companies is to help farmers connect to buyers, as well as those who are interested in the agriculture sector. This case also highlights how agri-tech companies are beneficial not only to the farmers but also to the country’s overall GDP in terms of the agricultural industry. Additionally, it also covers the particular agro-tech companies that are using technologies to give better services to the farmers. We have used secondary data to carry out the research. The findings of this research indicate that technology and agriculture come together and are benefiting the farmers in the country. It could be an excellent resource for future research to understand agricultural progress in our economy. Overall, the case addresses how technology is essential for the farming industry and how businesses like iFarmer, WeGro, Foshol, and others aim to provide all technology-based services to farmers and the farm sector.
