Information Technology is used in various fields like education, business, Medicine, Weather forecasting systems, Communications etc., but not used vastly in Agriculture sector which is main livelihood for majority of people in rural areas and which also drives economy in developing countries like India, China, Brazil etc., and also over 45% of economy is contributed by Agriculture sector in these countries. Most of the people living in rural areas will depends on agriculture does not have facilities or cost may be very high to technology to Agriculture sector to yield good results. In this paper we design and develop AGRI-CLOUD which provides assistance to the farmers in analyzing crop diseases, getting required suggestions and finding appropriate fertilizers during cultivation at minimum cost from experts at research stations or from Government officials in Agriculture departments in a easily understandable natural languages. We design this cloud model to benefit various stake holders in agriculture field to provide precise and accurate information along with various security related concepts for providing integrity, security and Authentication for agricultural data shared or stored in cloud data center, along with Agri-Expert Service.
