Odisha is a disaster-prone state. Every year, natural disasters like cyclones, unseasonal rains, floods, sea storms occur here and the farmers were the highest sufferers of this. They bear the most losses. This also leads to crop loss due to pests, diseases and other infections.

Apart from dealing with all these, Map My Crop Company showcased its expertise in providing information well in advance of disasters, providing information about crop damage in the post-disaster period through satellite imagery, and providing detailed information about the location of farmland and what crop has been cultivated there, the crop health of any area at any time.

At present, mapping of farmland and crops in the farm sector in Odisha is being done with the help of digital technology using Agri Stack App.

Singh Deo said that the Odisha government is always trying to increase the income of farmers by using digital technology in the agriculture sector.
