It exploits the direct and indirect network effect generated by the agtech firm platform business. These building blocks stimulate the agtech start-ups on how they generate value from their value propositions, and it also describes how the customers, especially farmers and agri-input service providers generate revenue or cashflows for the agtech start-ups. customer segments, channels, customer relationships, and revenue stream. Second, value turnover is the second tenet of the business model canvas.

The infrastructure contains enabling technologies (ICTs), IT systems which are agricultural technology information systems, support systems like smart farming systems, and organizations such as agtech firms and their complementors. Harald Overby and Jan A Audestad (2018) in their book digital economics elucidate a few critical enablers, namely infrastructure, core competencies, innovation, investments, workforce, and historical factors. What are critical enablers for shaping agri-tech firms?

As per an estimate, the market size of the agtech business is expected to be $30-35 billion by 2025 and in that the major contributors would be agri-input services, farm management, and quality control and traceability. The emergence of more than 1,000 agtech start-ups passing through incubation, piloting, and upscaling can testify to the significance of digital innovations in this ecosystem. This is one of the engines that propels disruptive innovations in agribusiness.
