January 6, 2021

AgNext innovates agricultural value chains with technologies that digitizes food quality and safety and provides end-to-end commodity traceability. The company applies computer vision, spectral analytics and internet-of things to instantly analyze and produce results for food quality (physical, chemical and ambient) to ensure effective trade, production, warehousing and consumption.

The AgNext platform provides meticulous analysis with artificial intelligence and advanced data sciences, to evolve quality assessment processes in agribusinesses which refer to the current problems of the sector, mainly related to quality evaluation, such as vulnerability towards possibility of human error, sparse speed, besides poor standardization and reliability of related results on the current used methods. 

Challenges faced by farmers due to less access to technology

∙ Inaccessibility of modern predictive technologies for farming to micro, small and medium scale farmers.

∙ Traditional food quality assessment which is either done based on human intuitions or in distant labs often leads to subjectivity & delay in decision making.
