In the 2019 2020 crop year, despite COVID 19 and the economic slowdown in the country, Brazil’s crop production rose by 4 1 y/y to a new all time high of 257 bn tonnes, driven mainly by favourable weather and growing yields CONAB’s projections for the 2020 2021 crop year are for a slight decrease, with production expected to fall by 1 8 y/y to 252 4 mn tonnes, due to the bad weather in H 2 2021 characterised with prolonged droughts and low temperatures Soybean, maize and rice are forecasted to account for 93 5 of total crop output during the 2020 2021 season The soybean sub segment is likely to remain among the driving forces, with an estimated increase in production of 10 y/y to a new record high of 137 3 mn tonnes In terms of foreign trade, during the first 10 months of 2021 Brazil exported agricultural products valued at USD 45 9 bn, 20 2 more than in the same period of 2020 This positive performance was on the back of strong foreign demand for some specific commodities, such as soybean, sugar, and coffee

Garden hand tools have supported people in their gardening activities over the last few generations. The garden hand tool category of gardening tools consists of power tools and water equipment. The global demand for garden hand tools was estimated at about $17.28 billion in 2020 and is expected to hit a value of $21.53 billion at a CAGR of 3.73% by 2026. The effective utilization of hand tools requires a proper study about the tool for the specific work to be carried out to improve productivity and reduce the margin of error. Lack of knowledge or negligence can lead to injuries. Moreover, proper usage and storage of the tools to avoid rusting are crucial. Digging, striking, and cutting functions require optimum input from the hand tools despite the dominance of other tool categories. Spades, shovels, pruners, augers, cultivators, shears, gardening forks, hoes, and saws are found in the basic tool kits of professional gardeners, horticulturists, and home gardeners today, signifying the momentum of hand tools.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the smart greenhouse market. The smart greenhouse is a revolution in agriculture, creating a selfregulating, microclimate suitable for plant growth through the use of sensors, actuators, and monitoring and control systems that optimise growth conditions and automate the growing process. ... Hydroponic greenhouses grow plants without soil.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the soil monitoring market. Soil monitoring is very important for sustaining soil quality. It involves analyzing the soil through soil tests and field obser-vations, and seeing how the soil changes after intervention. Once an intervention plan is implemented, it is necessary to monitor the change in the soil by measuring indicators. This requires seasonal/yearly sampling of soil and analyzing the parameters.

The food industry is one of the leading sectors of livelihood globally. However, with the growing population, there is a rising need to fulfill hunger and to provide nutrition-based food for the population. About 60% of the world’s hungriest people live in Yemen, South Sudan, Syria, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Haiti, and others. Malnutrition in children is a common problem in these countries, where a significant section of the population suffers from hunger. Farmers, agri-associations, and even food researchers are always looking for some alternative source of food to serve people and also to address food security. Some research studies stated that the insect protein could be the alternative and a sound protein source that could help this issue up to a certain level. Edible insects are further considered a superior protein source to conventional animal protein since they possess high feed conversion efficiency. This is basically due to the fact that insects are poikilothermic and also spend many limited amounts of energy and nutrients from food; however, they produce more percentage protein compared to warm-blooded animals.
