Agrinext Summit 2026: practical conversations, trust and growth
· By Soilo
Soilo reflects on practical conversations with farmers, FPO leaders and other visitors at Agrinext Summit 2026 in Kerala.
Agrinext Summit 2026 was hosted today, and it turned out to be a very strong day for us.
We had 300+ visitors at our stall including farmers, FPO leaders, government officials, and even members from the World Bank. The level of discussion was serious and practical. People were not just casually walking in; they were asking the right questions about soil data, accuracy, scalability, and on-ground implementation.
Many devices are now sold. That is the biggest takeaway. When people understand the value and take a buying decision on the spot, it shows trust.
One thing I must mention is that the knowledge level of farmers in Kerala is impressive. They are informed, analytical, and deeply involved in understanding their soil health. Conversations were technical. They spoke about pH balance, nutrient management, crop cycles, and cost optimisation with clarity. It was honestly refreshing.
Agriculture moves forward when farmers are empowered with both knowledge and tools. Today felt like a step in that direction.
Grateful to Kerala Startup Mission, KERA, and the Agrinext team for creating such a focused platform.
Now the responsibility is bigger. Scale properly. Deliver consistently. Build for Bharat.
