Agricultural Infrastructure Funding Assessment: Research Opportunities and Trends

At present, in the traditional business process, several funding problems, such as a lack of funds, capitalization issues, limited access to financial institutions, and a lack of access to markets, are experienced, especially by farmers in developing countries. A comprehensive review of agricultural infrastructure funding assessment is attempted in this paper using bibliometric analysis and visualization analysis. The use of VOS viewers and Bibliometric is employed to quantitatively analyze related papers from Scopus, covering documents collected in the last 20 years, including the number of articles, the frequency of related topics, analysis of authors and articles that are widely cited, analysis of the most productive publishers, and analysis of the most productive countries conducting research. An increase in research on funding, especially in agricultural infrastructure studies, has been observed in 2018. Additionally, the current research focuses on funding, investment, agriculture, finance, blockchain, cost, economics, sustainable development, agricultural robots, platforms, business models, and climate change. The challenges and considerations to be integrated into non-high-income countries/regions are examined, as agricultural infrastructure funding plays a critical role in successfully mitigating the impact of food availability needs and ensuring food security. An alternative approach is required to implement a real program of sustainable development.
