The global smart agri-rail system market size was valued at USD 3.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% between 2024 and 2032. Rising global populations and food security concerns are driving the adoption of smart agri-rail systems. For instance, The Global Report on Food Crises 2024 Mid-Year Update highlights critical trends in acute food insecurity and malnutrition, with numbers rising sharply from 705,000 in 2023 to 1.9 million in 2024 in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5).
Moreover, the State of Food Insecurity and Nutrition in the World 2024 report identifies significant obstacles to achieving SDG 2—Zero Hunger. Despite regional progress, global undernourishment remains high, affecting an estimated 713 million to 757 million people in 2023. These systems enhance the efficient transport of agricultural products from farms to processing centers and distribution hubs, minimizing post-harvest losses and ensuring timely delivery. By integrating IoT sensors and real-time tracking, agri-rail systems maintain optimal transit conditions, preserving food quality and extending shelf life.

This infrastructure is essential for strengthening the food supply chain and boosting agricultural productivity, particularly in regions with rapid population growth or high dependence on food imports. Additionally, as farms adopt digitized, data-driven practices, the need for advanced transportation solutions grows. Smart agri-rail systems, integrated with blockchain-based food supply chain system, enhance coordination between harvesting schedules and logistics.
