FarmERP, a smart farm management software provider, is focusing on assisting Cassava farmers by using its tech-enabled platform to extend crop life and increase plant mortality in Cassava plantations by up to 40%. The platform aims to unlock the true potential of Cassava cultivation, improving productivity, profitability, and predictability for farmers. FarmERP has successfully deployed this platform in Nigeria and plans to expand it to other countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Angola, and Ghana.
Cassava is a vital crop globally, with applications in food, feed, and industrial sectors, contributing to food security, livelihoods, and economic growth. However, Cassava plantations face challenges related to pest and disease management, weather extremes, and the need for adequate moisture for growth. To address these challenges, FarmERP's FarmGyan, incorporating AI, ML, computer vision, and deep learning, helps users make informed decisions about crop management, re-plantation, and weed control strategies. The platform also promotes the use of sensors, drones, and other IoT devices in precision farming, enabling efficient crop management and higher yields.
