Amazing things are happening in the Agrictech space in Africa, and it is always a joy to see young Africans doing cool stuff.
AirSmat is an AI driven company that uses climate smart agriculture to help improve food security, increase resilience, and reduce emissions from agri-food systems, with huge benefits for people, the planet and economies.
RiceAfrika is bundling AirSmat’s smart farming solutions to its Harvester Hiring Service so that smallholder rice and wheat farmers in Africa will have accurate measurement of their farms, geo-fencing, access to drone, satellite, soil-level and IoT sensors to transform how they collect, manage, and interpret farm data.
This will help farmers eliminate guess work and drive day to day farm operations decision with precision.
Leveraging on satellites, forecast and past weather data will let our farmers know possible harmful patterns (eg when it rains, or when it stops), that might affect crops before it happens.
Through AI and remote sensing, farmers will optimize application of crop inputs and improve productivity on each farmland.
With this partnership, RiceAfrika will empower rice and wheat farmers in Africa with data driven insights.
2022 and beyond is about scaling up our operations to other African countries, and partnership is the way to go..
“If you wan go fast, go alone. If you wan go far, partner.”
Impossible Does Not Exist.
