Pinoy startup uses Al to prevent crop damage

“This is very intuitive and straight- forward,” Aldrin “Soj” R. Gamayon, the 22-year-old founder and chief executive officer at AgriConnect PH, told Business- World in an interview. “It makes it more efficient for farmers and agribusinesses to act on things before it’s too late.”

Mr. Gamayon, who comes from a family of farmers, said his internship in Singapore and the challenges that his uncles encoun- tered in the farm inspired him to create an app that could help with crop loss.

After doing his research, the fourth-year Communications Technology Management student from the Ateneo de Manila Uni- versity noted that most farmers only rely on intuition and the naked eye when faced with production risks such as pests and soil moisture.
