About this Challenge
Assam AgTech Open Challenge Program
Assam AgTech Open Challenge Program (OCP) is a platform to implement technology solutions for Assam’s agriculture sector. A first of its kind initiative in the NE region for Agri-tech startups with a commercially viable solution to solve challenges faced by Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs) in Assam.
Assam AgTech OCP aims to bridge the gap between agriculture and technology sector and would support innovators and existing start-ups to develop solutions that address challenges for smallholder farmers and the Farmer Producer Companies serving them in the State of Assam.
Assam AgTech OCP is jointly implemented by OctaNE Centre of Entrepreneurship (CoE), Software Technology Park of India (STPI), Guwahati and ARIAS society. The selected participants will get access to Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs), mentorship from sector experts along with grant support and infrastructure facilities in STPI CoEs to help them not only in development of the tech solutions but also in scaling their solutions . Following two OctaNE CoEs of STPI would be opened for start-ups selected under Assam AgTech OCP:
i.IoT in Agriculture CoE – STPI Guwahati
ii.AgriTech CoE – STPI Gangtok
Assam AgTech OCP: Current challenges faced by FPCs
Smallholder farmers in Assam face a myriad of challenges across the value chain, owing to the size of their land and a lack of access to information and markets to enable them to get good returns on their produce. These include low productivity and yields, climate-change-related vulnerabilities, lack of access to quality inputs, credit, information, as well as weak market linkages.
Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs) play a significant role in helping farmers get access to resources such as financing, inputs, farm technologies, and agricultural markets. However, FPCs face several issues across the agricultural supply chain which restricts their ability to adequately support farmers. These include:
1. Digitization and maintaining records of their farmer members.
2. Lack of quality inputs,
3. Inadequate or inaccurate information about weather events, pests, and diseases.
4. Low access to markets beyond their local mandis, national as well as international
5. Difficulty in accessing information about buyer requirements and product certifications
6. Inadequate access to financing
To align the Agritech OCP with the objectives of the Government of India to form 10,000 new Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), the program will prioritize solutions that directly benefit FPOs. Incentives and grants will be offered for technological solutions that enhance FPO operations, improve market access, or provide better financial management tools. FPOs demonstrating successful adoption of these solutions will be considered for mentorships to further strengthen their capabilities.
How will the Assam AgTech OCP work?
The initiative will familiarize Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs) with Disruptive Agriculture Technologies (DATs), and a selected group of Agri Tech enterprises or solution providers with the potential to address some of the challenges faced by FPCs in their operations.
The objectives of this program are to identify the key technology needs of FPCs, identify technology solutions that can help address these needs, and facilitate the process of integrating these technology solutions with FPCs in Assam and also provide them grant and technical support, in collaboration with some experts in the sector.
Assam AgTech OCP – Key themes
To address different challenges faced by FPCs, the Assam AgTech Open Challenge Program will invite potential solutions in five key themes covering the operations of FPCs across the value chain –
THEME 1: Improving yield efficiency
Enabling the adoption of modern agricultural technologies , access to modern farming techniques, quality seeds, fertilizers, advisory services and promote the uptake of climate-smart technologies and efficient farming practices.
THEME 2:Market linkage – farm inputs
Digital market place and physical infrastructure to link farmers to inputs.
THEME 3: Precision agriculture and farm management
Use of geospatial/ weather data, IOT , sensors, robotics etc. to improve productivity; farm management solutions for resource and field management, etc.
THEME 4: Quality management and traceability
Post-Harvest produce handling, quality check and analysis, produce monitoring and traceability in storage and transportation.
THEME 5: Supply chain tech and output market linkage
Digital platform and physical infrastructure to handle post-harvest supply chain and connect farm output with the customers.
Selection of Start-ups under Assam AgTech OCP
To identify the technologies, a competitive process will be followed, wherein Startups/Industry will be invited to submit their applications for the Assam AgTech OCP Facility. An evaluation of eligible applicants will be conducted based on specified criteria by a committee comprising of members from STPI, ARIAS, mentors, Industry experts, domain experts etc. The applications will be invited under 5 key themes as mentioned above, which capture the key technology needs of FPCs in the state of Assam –

About this Challenge
Smart Farm Grant Challenge is a program to identify impactful solutions from start-ups to address the problem statements identified for sugarcane harvest.
Problem Statement
Sugarcane yield depends on various factors such as cane variety, climatic condition, time of harvest, supply chain etc. Sucrose losses after harvest of cane due to delayed transport and unfavorable environmental conditions are one of the most serious problems in sugar recovery process.
Sugarcane is a perishable commodity and need to be processed in to sugar quickly after it is harvested. Studies have indicated that nearly 20-30% of total sucrose synthesized by sugarcane plant is lost during various stages of raw material handling and sugar mill processing.
There is a direct correlation of sugarcane productivity with the optimum age/ maturity of the crop. The peak sucrose content of sugarcane at harvest time is affected by different growing environment and plant physiological conditions during the maturation period. Furthermore, the variation among soil on cane fields causes considerable differences in soil moisture holding capacity, degree of drying, and, consequently, the rate at which cane fields ripen. Thus, harvesting of sugarcane at a proper time i.e., peak maturity, by adopting right technique is necessary to realize maximum sucrose accumulation and sugar production. Harvesting cane either underaged or overaged at the improper time results in a loss of cane production, sugar recovery, and low juice consistency. Improper harvest age is recurrent problems of pre-harvest cultural practices, which severely affect quality and yield of sugarcane.
Study of cane quality parameters plays essential role in assessing the optimum maturity stage of the cane harvest. Further, weak supply chain causes post harvest losses due to staling of canes after harvest. To optimize the losses due to staling cane, it needs to be crushed within 24 hours of harvesting as staling beyond 24 hours results in considerable loss in cane weight due to moisture loss and reduction in juice sucrose content due to inversion.
The post harvest sugar loss is one of the most alarming problems of sugar industry. However, harvesting the crop on optimum maturity stage and least time taken from harvest to crush by strengthening the supply chain leads to better sugar productivity in terms of both yields and recovery which is a key value driver for the sugar mills.
Considering the above facts, the STPI announces the Smart-farm Grant Challenge for Development of a “Digital solution to predict optimum time of sugarcane harvest”. The application must have features but not limited to the few indicated below:
- Should predict optimum time of sugarcane harvest in a given plot area with reasonable accuracy.
- Should utilize computer simulations and the digital data for reaching accurate results.
- Should provide plot wise Polling in cane and yield estimate.
- Estimate the sugar content of all the plots in its catchment area remotely.
- Should identify the plots which are mature/ ready to harvest.
- Should identify the poor plots in the initial stage.
- Should identify command area vs survey area for identification of the forged plots & left out plots.
- Should identify water stressed plots and inform the exact time of irrigation.
- Results should be in easily interpretable formats viz graphs, images etc.
- Results should be validated against the real time digital data.
- Developed solution should be user friendly (most of processes may be automated).
- Should be documented elaborately.
- Low on usage of power/ processor.
- Should not have any external hardware dependency.
- Results along with the advisory to be disseminated through mobile app to the farmers and the sugar mills.
The Smart-farm Grant Challenge is open for participation in teams having experts from all domains of a software development life cycle.
Who Can Apply:
The Indian Tech start-ups, MSMEs, Companies, LLPs registered in India under Companies Act can apply. The entity must have 51% or more shareholding with Indian citizen or person of Indian origin. The applicant’s entity should not be a subsidiary company of any foreign corporation.
