From the recorded data some analytics can be done, eg production trend of farmers in a particular place.
Conclusion Remarks
Real time data recorded by the farmers will support in managing their enterprises.
Record keeping is essential not only for farm management aspects but also the collected data can be used by other stakeholders for immediate intervention and better improvement of the sector in general.
With the better farming management tool which leads to the availability of data, the information gap between farmers and other stakeholders will be narrowed.
