Along with helping the farming community with its on-farm extension work, development of new crop varieties having low pest attack and high yield traits and demonstration of new technologies as part of farm mechanisation, a new initiative of Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agriculture University (PJTSAU) is set to help improve farmers’ income.
A memorandum of understanding was signed here on Saturday between SuperZop, an agri-tech startup nurtured at the varsity’s AgHub (Agri Innovation Hub), AgHub and the university, as part of which a mobile app, SuperBid developed by SuperZop is commercialised as a B2B interface, which in turn help farmers get better price for their produce (paddy) based on the quality of rice processed from it.
The agreement facilitates commercialisation of SuperZop’s proprietary AI-based technology platforms – SuperBid, a market linkage platform, and SuperGRT, an automated quality assessment technology to perform quality assessment of the produced grain just under 10 seconds.
