Cropin Technology collaborated with Google's Gemini
generative artificial intelligence chatbot to introduce a tool that allows customers to create grid-based maps of agricultural land and receive localized insights, such as crop output.
Cropin founder and chief executive Krishna Kumar stated that an agri-intelligence solution named Sage uses past data to predict crop futures and consider variables such as climate change and weather changes, to assist users in making well-informed choices.
Sage categorizes farmlands into different sizes like 3x3 meters, 10x10 meters, or 5x5 kilometers for gathering specific data points in each section. This allows customers such as consumer packaged goods players, seed manufacturers, food processors, multilateral organisations, financial institutions, and governments to make informed decisions on cultivation practices, crop selection, irrigation, climate, and soil management for future-proofing production and supply chains, according to him.
Established in 2010, Cropin is a startup in the field of agriculture that utilizes AI and predictive analytics through
software-as-a-service (SaaS) to assist customers in improving efficiency and productivity in farming. It states that it has collaborated with more than 250 B2B clients, digitized 30 million acres of agricultural land, and supported over 7 million farmers worldwide. The company states that its crop knowledge graph covers 350 crops and more than 10,000 varieties in 103 different countries.
Cropin's corporate clients have the option to utilize the latest tool for obtaining insights on 13 major crops such as wheat, rice, potato, and maize, which account for nearly 80% of global food requirements, the company stated. The company intends to gradually construct and launch the product worldwide, in accordance with the needs and requests of enterprise customers.
