The reasons behind adoption include the need to increase yields through the management of extreme water scarcity and increased climatic uncertainty.
The MEA governments are facilitating digital agriculture and smart farming by offering supportive programs and initiatives.
The digitization of farms is getting faster as more and more connected devices become available, and more operations are now data-driven.
One of the major trends is the transition to smart water-efficient irrigation systems with sensors, software, AI, and mobile applications contributing to a better work of hardware more and more.
The increasing applications of drones, robots, and automated equipment to commercial farms, as well as scaling, are major opportunities, and the extension of platform-based services to bundle data, advisory, and financing is a major opportunity.
According to a new report by UnivDatos, The Middle East & Africa Precision Farming Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 11.90% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). The Middle East and African market of precision farming is on a growth path as governments, agribusiness, and technology seek to know how to increase their yields in the face of an unending water stress, fractured land tenures, and precipitation instability. The investments in satellite connection, rural broadband, and IoT networks are speeding up, which allows implementing soil sensors, GPS-guided machines, drones, and farm-management systems. Gulf nations are testing high-technology, capital-intensive horticulture and sheltered cultivation systems, whereas major African economies are trying digitally empowered smallholder programs, input-credit applications, and advisory apps. Due to declining hardware costs and greater access to cloud-based analytics, precision agriculture is becoming a niche practice on farms with export orientations, and is poised to become a pillar of local food security strategies.

Based on offering, the Middle East & Africa Precision Farming market is segmented into hardware, software, and services. Of these, the hardware category has held a notable market share. Increasing investment in smart irrigation and fertigation to solve endemic water scarcity and more extensive use of GPS guidance, auto-steering, and variable rate application equipment that enhances input efficiency are driving hardware expansion. Farmers, however, are moving towards the use of soil and crop sensors, weather stations, and IoT gateways that enable real-time monitoring of their fields as drones and satellite devices assist in scanning larger farms. Purchases are quickening up through government food-security programs, grants of modernization, and demonstration farms. The decreasing sensor prices, enhanced connectivity in rural areas, and improved dealer and after-sales support further boost adoption on a cross-seasonal basis.
According to the report, Pressure to boost yields under water and climate constraints has been identified as a key driver for market growth. Some of how this impact has been felt include:
Middle East and African agriculture are increasingly facing strains to bring forth food using fewer natural resources. The fast-growing population, the urban sprawl at the expense of cultivable land, and frequent droughts are pushing the traditional agricultural models to the brink, which require the extensive use of water and inputs. The climate volatility is causing yield uncertainty, whereby producers have to deal with the narrower risk and variability. In this regard, precision farming turns into a strategic key, but not a technological frivolity. The sensors can help growers apply water, fertilizers, and crop protection only in areas and at times when they are most needed, with the help of sensors, satellite imagery, and data-driven field monitoring. This is a focused strategy that serves to conserve limited water, equalize yields, and enhance the efficiency of inputs at the field level. To the policymakers and agribusiness, promoting precision agriculture is in direct line with the national food security objectives, as well as ensuring that farmers stay profitable in more adverse environmental conditions. In the long run, such practices develop resilience as well as enhance the health of the soil and boost long-term productivity.
According to the World Bank, the fertile land in the Middle East and North Africa is 4.7%, which is smaller than the global average of 10.7%. The leading countries, such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman, have only 1.6%, 0.7%, and 0.3%, respectively.
Considering these, the requirement of precision farming is anticipated to rise during the coming years in the Middle East & Africa region in the forecasted years, i.e., 2025-2033.
