Supply chain disruptions and changes in customer needs are the two major pain points faced by manufacturers of agrichemicals. Along with this, providing end-to-end services is another area which calls for focused planning of players in the agrichemical market.

By switching to digitization and investing in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) technology, industry experts believe that the loopholes in the supply chain can be easily tackled. IIOT and predictive analytics facilitate better redressal of the supply chain woes. As predictive analytics makes use of machine learning to decipher patterns in the unstructured data, it becomes easier for market players to respond to changing demands from the customers in an automated manner.
