Abstract
Financial sectors play a significant role in the agriculture domain to
improve economic growth. Technological advancements attracted all
stakeholders in agriculture to make use of it effectively. Agriculture,
the oldest sector of human civilization, can enjoy rapid growth and
sustainability by effectively utilizing current technology’s financial
and communication applications. According to the old farm regulations,
Agri-Fintech—a catchall phrase for using technology to finance farmers
and the value chain—could be the key to increasing the profitability
of farms and farmers. Through intelligent data intervention, market
linkages, partnerships, and a physical strategy, lending to farmers,
Farmer Producer Organizations(FPO), and other value chain actors have
been demonstrated to be scalable. A significant borrower from banks and
other financial institutions is the agriculture sector. This work
explains how Agri-Techs become Agri-Fintech and what role banks play.
