SAP Supports Agriculture with State-of-the-Art Solutions for Increased Harvests

Modern farmers increasingly rely on cutting-edge technologies to meet the growing demand for agricultural products both nationally and internationally. KWS SAAT, a major player in the seed market with a significant presence in Romania, has chosen an SAP solution to transform and digitize its business.

In the past, farmers had to rely on their own experience or less precise methods to plant, care for, harvest, store, and market crops. Nowadays, agriculture is highly technology-driven due to the rising global demand for food.

By 2050, the global agricultural industry will need to produce 50% more resources than in 2012 to meet demand.

The current business challenges in agriculture require agility, resilience, and innovation. Every market player recognizes the need to respond swiftly to changes and serve customers better. Additionally, sustainability has become a crucial factor in farming businesses.
