India: Harsh Patel of Potato Intel on Precision Potato Agronomy, Satellite Monitoring and AI, Joins the Potato Expert Panel

Harsh Patel, Co-Founder and Chief Agronomist of Potato Intel LLP in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, has joined the Potato Expert Panel by Potatoes.News. He is a third-generation potato farmer and agricultural microbiologist with more than 32 years of family experience in potato cultivation.

From the field to satellite data

Through Potato Intel, Patel combines satellite remote sensing, artificial intelligence, precision agronomy and field-based advisory services. According to his submission, the work focuses on precision potato cultivation, processing potato quality, soil health, irrigation and fertigation management, mechanisation, and climate-resilient production.

Areas of expertise

• Precision potato agronomy and sustainable crop production
• Processing potato quality, yield and dry matter optimisation
• AI, satellite remote sensing and digital crop intelligence
• Soil health, precision irrigation and fertigation management
• Climate-resilient potato farming and crop protection
• Contract farming, farmer advisory and agricultural mechanisation

WHY IT MATTERS

Yield, quality and water use decide whether a potato crop is profitable for growers and reliable for processors. Tools that combine satellite monitoring with agronomy advice can show where fields fall short before harvest. For growers, traders and processing companies, the view of an agronomist who works both on farms and with data is a practical guide to what to measure. Patel joins the panel alongside Deepak Soni of ITC Foods and Navid Suthar of M S International, who were introduced earlier.
