Agtech & Innovation
‘Thank you to Bruce and the team for another fantastic Primex event. The enquiries we received over the three days have generated a significant amount of business for us. We will definitely be back bigger and better in 2025 based on the results from this year.’
– Ben, Director – Fly The Farm
Reports indicate that Agtech, or agricultural technology, has the potential to increase the value of Australia’s agricultural production by over $20 billion per year. The adoption of these technologies can help drive on farm productivity and efficiencies.
The North Coast is one of the most diverse primary production areas with an estimated farm gate value in excess of $1 billion per annum (NSW DPI). Therefore, developing an agtech plan for your farm can be a challenging process, if you want to ensure that you can obtain a return on your investment. There are a wide range of agtech devices and connectivity solutions available on the market today and this space is rapidly growing with new products being released frequently. It is therefore important that you take the time to identify the challenges you may experience in your enterprise, prioritise them, and then research the technologies available that may be a possible solution.
Agricultural Field Days are the best venues to view technology and innovation first-hand, with Primex collaborating with an extensive industry and grower base across the east coast. Programs like the NSW DPIRD Farms of the Future provide free training to farmers to assist them to develop a plan for their properties, simplifying the selection of agtech and connectivity solutions. This is only part of the picture though and it is important that you undertake your own research and speak to suppliers to determine which product and company is a best fit for you and your farm.
Primex gives business, industry and farmers the opportunity to meet with an extensive range of Agtech suppliers, view their products, see them in action and ask questions. As the Region’s largest and most comprehensive agribusiness event, directly presenting and targeting innovation, Primex is the only event that allows farmers to interact with a range of agtech suppliers on the NSW North Coast and beyond.
