Due to rough terrain, inadequate infrastructure, and restricted access to technology, the agricultural industry in hilly regions has a unique set of obstacles. These challenges are particularly prevalent in the management of post-harvest losses and the establishment of effective market linkages. agri-tech initiatives that aim to reduce post-harvest losses and enhance market connections for hill area farmers will have an impact on the situation. It is possible to investigate technical options such as cold storage facilities, mobile-based platforms, and precision agriculture tools by conducting a review of the research that have already been conducted. In addition to reducing post-harvest losses through the optimization of supply chain management, the findings imply that agri-tech interventions not only improve farmers' access to broader markets but also minimize post-harvest losses. These measures have led to an increase in the stability of revenue for farmers as well as a reduction in the amount of food that is wasted, which has contributed to an agricultural ecosystem that is more sustainable. However, the study also underlines the necessity of government assistance, sufficient training, and the development of infrastructure in order to fully exploit the promise of these technologies in hill regions.
