Development in any sector requires proper planning based on existing situation,resoureces,constraints and prospects.Use of e-agriculture may be fruitful for a country if it is properly placed in the context of
existing capacity and expected development.It may not be possible to fix the e-agriculture strategies at higher level  unless reqisite technological and finacial capacity are  attained.There must be proper evaluation after introduction of any e-agricultural intervention in a particulr area to see how effective the intervention.
It would be wise to introduce e-agriculture intervention in pilot or small scale at the beginning and expanding to larger areas based on the evaluation.
Many factors should be considered in finalizing e-agriculture strategies.Technological,financial,cultural,geographical and environmental aspects are few of them.Any country can't afford to introduce the e-agricultural interventions just on whims.Creation of efficient manpower,infrastructure and relevant policy will take considerable investment,expertise and time.
In view of all these points,I strongly feel that  e-agriculture strategies is needed for the agricultural sector to fully realize the benefits of ICTs.
