Abstract

Digital tool adoption depends, beyond the purchase price, on the total cost of ownership (TCO). Our analysis cross-references the commercial supply recorded in an original database (AgriTechCost_DB) and the usage observed in the 2020 agricultural census. The estimation of a TCO per farm, which depends on the combinations of adopted tools and their estimated cost, makes it possible to establish a classification of investment levels (low, medium or high). The results reveal a diversified supply of digital tools, primarily focused on crop production. In 2020, 59% of farms were using digital tools, mostly those with larger farmland and economic size. Low or moderate investments are predominant in specialized crop farming, whereas the share of high investments is larger in livestock farms.
