abstract = "In the agricultural industry, time is a factor that determines the quality of various raw commodities. It is important to transport the harvested products to a cold storage facility or, alternatively, to the end user directly via wholesale distributors. Crops lose some of their nutritional content and end up costing more to store in cold storage, which drives up prices. Therefore, the crops should be sold as soon as feasible. This can only come to fruition if the logistic infrastructure is modernized and capable of managing the urgent need to move agricultural products. In a well-functioning logistics system, innovation is crucial. At the same time, the agro-industry is struggling with innovation. Multiple publications have detailed the factors that, when combined, make logistics innovation work. While the Indian agro-logistics industry is making strides, it still has a long way to go before it can fully use its infrastructure, reduce its environmental effect, and empower its farmers. These challenges are diagnosed and a transformation plan is proposed in this study. Potentially fruitful avenues for infrastructure development, digital platform acceptance, and precision agricultural adoption are highlighted. Nevertheless, it is imperative to address environmental problems, close the digital gap, and provide fair market access and revenue for farmers.",
