This week, Alexander Valeton joined the panel discussion on the newly released report by 60 Decibels and Busara about #digitalpenetration in agriculture in #Kenya. The insights of this report are fresh and remarkable. In the panel discussion, we underlined the importance of #digitalservices to join forces and operate together to make it easier for farmers, harvest better and clean data and create a bigger impact at a lower cost and avoid annoyance at the farmer level for another survey, again another registration process and sharing data without knowing what happens and without clear incentives for them.

👉 Farmdar is transforming #agriculture in #Pakistan by using artificial intelligence (#AI) and remote sensing to provide farmers with actionable data. Its mission is to empower #farmers with insights that lower costs, increase yield, enhance quality, and reduce waste. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, Farmdar is helping to create a more food-secure future, making it a key player in Pakistan’s journey toward #sustainable farming. 👉The benefits are immense. In a country where agriculture is the backbone of the economy, Farmdar’s data-driven solutions enable farmers to make smarter decisions. They can monitor crop health, optimize irrigation, and predict risks like pests or diseases through remote sensing. This lowers input costs, boosts yields, and improves crop quality—directly impacting farmers' income. Farmdar also addresses food scarcity by minimizing waste and increasing efficiency, contributing to national food security. 👉Farmdar’s #AI-powered tools also enhance Pakistan’s competitiveness on the global agricultural stage. As more farmers adopt these technologies, the country’s agricultural output and quality improve, opening doors to exports and increased revenue. 👉However, Farmdar’s rise is not without controversy. The company’s advanced tech challenges traditional farming and smaller agri-tech competitors. Smaller farms may struggle to adopt these solutions, raising concerns about a growing digital divide. Additionally, Farmdar’s dominance could outshine local companies that lack the same resources or expertise. 👉In conclusion, Farmdar is modernizing Pakistan’s agriculture with innovations that boost yields, reduce costs, and ensure food security. Yet, the rapid rise of such tech-driven solutions brings competition concerns and raises questions about inclusivity within the agri-tech sector. Ensuring all farmers, regardless of size, can benefit from this revolution is the next big challenge.
