The agricultural sector is rapidly evolving worldwide due to novel Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies, resulting in smarter farming methods. These technologies enable farmers to maximise production while monitoring and controlling every aspect of farming, including pest control, crop monitoring, and soil moisture. The technologies could make farmers more profitable, efficient, and environmentally friendly. However, studies that comprehensively analyse how digitalisation can steer development and industrialisation in Africa remained limited. This is a gap that has both practical and policy implications. This chapter uses secondary literature and abstraction to highlight how digital technologies can increase productivity in the agricultural sector. It also highlights how adopting digital tools in farming could pave the way for rural industrialisation. This chapter argues that agricultural digitalisation wields much potential to revolutionise farming and, thus, steer industrialisation in rural Africa. However, small-scale farmers on the continent are left behind in using 4IR mega technologies due to several factors, including economic, political, social, and policy factors. This chapter recommends implementing capacity-building programmes meant to assist rural small-scale farmers to boost production through the adoption of 4IR technologies.
