In INDIA, the total area under cultivation is 349 million acres and the 60–70% of the total population involved in AGRICULTURE and we are exporting agricultural products with market value of 46 Billion US$.


In USA, the total area under cultivation is about to 922 million acres and only 2% of the population is involved in Agriculture and they are exporting 175 Billion US$ value of Agricultural products.


In INDIA, our farms with small size up to 2 acres and with poor farm mechanization,


But, in USA, their farms are of size up to 400 acres with rich farm mechanization.


Our Indian products are with highly chemical content as we are using lots of chemicals to grow the plants and some countries prohibited our products.


Americans are using technology to grow the plants, and they have their own GPS, GIS and Remote sensing technologies and satellites for Agriculture and natural sources.
