| Certainly, with the advent of globalisation, the market has become more competitive, because it has opened the opportunity for new competitors. This does not necessarily mean risk for the survival of local businesses, but a challenge that they must consider. This challenge relates to the need to create greater consumer loyalty to products and services, greater suitability of the product to the consumer’s needs, and greater concern about the social impact of the company. Moreover, this global scenario represents some opportunities for the companies to act in the new markets. It is clear that this action will depend mainly on the quality of their products and services offered. However, first, the concept of product quality is not so immediate and obvious. Although not universally accepted, the definition of quality with greater consensus is “suitability for consumer usage.” This definition is comprehensive because it includes two aspects: characteristics that lead to satisfaction with the product and the absence of failures. In fact, the main component consists of the quality characteristics of the product features that meet the consumers’ needs and thus it provides satisfaction for the same. These needs are related not only to the intrinsic characteristics of the product, such as the sensory characteristics of a food product but also to its availability in the market with a compatible price and in suitable packaging. The other part is the absence of faults, which is related to the characteristics of the product according to their specifications, making the consumer inspired by the reliability of the product, i.e., the consumer is sure that he will acquire a safe product, without health risks, and with the properties claimed on the label.For these objectives to be achieved it requires efficient management of quality, which implies continuous improvement activities at each operational level and in every functional area of the organisation. Quality management combines commitment, discipline, and a growing effort by everyone involved in the production process and fundamental techniques of management and administration, with the goal of continuously improving all processes. For that, the industries need to be structured organizationally, establish policies and quality programs, measure customers’ satisfaction, and even use more quality tools and methodologies. Specifically for the food industry, it also involves the knowledge and application of techniques and programs for product safety. | |

| Role of Weather Forecasting in the Agriculture Sector. Agriculture and farming are mainly dependent on seasons and weather. The temperature matters a lot in that case when it comes to the farming of different kinds of fruits, vegetables, and pulses. Previously we did not have a better understanding of weather forecasting and farmers were still doing their job based on predictions. Though sometimes they occur loss due to false predictions of weather. Now that the technology is developed and special weather forecasting mechanisms are available, the farmers can get all the updates on a smartphone. Education towards that is, of course, an important thing but most of the farmer population at this stage knows the basics which makes it easy for them to use the features. Occurrences of erratic weather are beyond human control. It is possible, however, to adapt to or mitigate the effects of adverse weather if a forecast of the expected weather can be obtained in time. Forecasts should ideally be used for small areas. Some aspects of weather forecasts for agriculture are quite distinct from synoptic weather forecasts. While clear weather is required for sowing operations, it must be preceded by seed zone soil moisture storage. Crop weather factors mean that crops and cropping practices vary across areas within the same season. In the case of well-organised weather systems, the desired aerial delineation of forecasts can be realised. The area to which the weather forecasts will be applied must be unambiguously stated. Weather forecasting is a prediction of conditions of the atmosphere depending on location and time. Every area will have different predictions related to the condition of weather which makes it pretty easy for the farmers to know how and what to do when. The relationship between weather and agriculture has, therefore, necessitated the need for accurate prediction of the weather; to enable farmers to make an informed decision that will not bring losses to them. Temperature, sunlight, and rainfall have major effects on the crops. For livestock, temperatures and adequate water and food are essential. The forecast of the weather event helps for suitable planning of farming operations. It helps to decide whether to undertake or withhold the sowing operation. To irrigate the crop or not, when to apply fertiliser and whether to start complete harvesting or to withhold it are the major components for which forecasting is a must. Irrigation is an artificial application of water to land for agricultural production and farming. The requirements for irrigation and crop growth are affected by weather variability. The amount of timing and evapotranspiration are two main weather-related requirements. Climate variability is something that all farmers need to react to. Extended periods of dry conditions, commonly known as drought are one of the major impacts on the irrigation system. So if their proper forecast is done chances of losses are way lower than expected. Drought can increase daily crop water use due to lower humidity and accompanied by higher temperatures. Managing under extreme conditions, irrigators need to understand daily and seasonal crop water use patterns, as well as adopt practices and technology that result in good production of crops. Timing of fertiliser has a significant effect on crop yields. Proper timing of the fertiliser application increases yields, reduces nutrient losses, and prevents damage to the environment. Wrong timing and not predicting the weather may result in a waste of fertiliser and even damage the crop. Knowledge of how the application of the fertiliser is done is required. Weather forecasts can help the farmers to decide the timing on when to apply them and in which condition. Both the resources and money could be wasted if the application of fertiliser is done wrong and hence proper knowledge and prediction is a must. According to research, fertilising plants in winter is not good as the crops do not actively grow. Actual temperatures may shift above and below averages from year to year. The consequences of unseasonal changes in temperature and their potential negative effects on host plants and pests are very well known. Unseasonably high temperatures may lead to lower plant productivity and more pests on the farm. Applying pest and disease control is important to protect the farm and crops from insects. Weather forecasts help farmers to know when to apply the pests and chemicals to avoid crop wastage. By some estimates, up to 40 percent of the world’s food supply is already lost due to pests. Reduction in pests and applied chemicals is important to ensure global food security, reduced application of inputs, and decreased greenhouse emissions. Climate-smart pest management is a cross-sectoral approach that aims to highly reduce pest-induced crop losses. And the method along with the forecast should be applied everywhere to ignore the wastage. The method of getting experts to do tailor-made weather forecasts is a little bit expensive compared with the use of the cheap weather forecast information available in the media but it is beneficial to the farmers in the long run. In the future, therefore, farmers will come to rely on satellite forecasting due to numerous advantages. | |
