AgTech, also known as Agricultural Technology, is any technology which has been used in agri and grain industries to help increase productivity, yield and thus making the grains supply chain more efficient. As competition has increased due to more markets supplying grain, as well as productivity continuously improving, with the threat of an increasing population restraining acreage globally, the crops and grains market has seen lots of technological disruption to combat this.

The price of grains and oilseeds is driven by many different factors, on the costs side, inflation, oil prices and the strength of the US dollar and also speculation. In terms of the supply of crops, this is affected by crop conditions (e.g. climate change, yield) and stocks, and then the demand of grain is driven by real GDP income and any government distortions.
