| Sumario: | The so-called “precision agriculture” is the outcome of two convergent processes: i) the emergence of new technological developments with diverse applications in agriculture and livestock, several of them derived from innovations in the field of ICT, and linked to data science, artificial intelligence and electronics; ii) the transformations that occurred in the organization of the production of biological-based goods, particularly in the case of extensive agriculture. A large group of Argentine companies have joined this new techno-productive paradigm with the aim of developing and commercializing goods and services associated with precision agriculture. The objective of this working paper is to analyze the characteristics, performance and future perspectives of this group of companies. The main source of information for this purpose is the First National Survey of Precision Agriculture and Livestock, which included 77 companies. The results of the survey were complemented with multiple interviews and meetings with industry leaders and experts. In both cases, the issues addressed included the structural characteristics of these firms, their achievements, routines and personnel employed for innovation activities as well as the obstacles they perceive for further growth. Based on this analysis, the document discusses the opportunities and challenges faced by this emerging sector. |
