Cropin Technology Launches 'Sage' to Revolutionize Agricultural Intelligence

Agritech firm Cropin Technology has launched 'Sage', an AI-powered platform offering real-time agricultural insights. Built on Google Cloud and Gemini AI, Sage converts landscapes into data-rich maps for better crop and climate management. It aims to help stakeholders enhance crop production and address global food security challenges.

Agritech firm Cropin Technology on Wednesday announced the launch of 'Sage', an artificial intelligence-powered platform that provides real-time agricultural intelligence.

'Sage' converts agricultural landscapes into grid-based maps, offering data on cultivation practices, crops, irrigation, climate, and soil. The platform is built on Google Cloud and utilizes Google's Gemini AI model, the company said in a statement.

At launch, 'Sage' covers 13 key crops including wheat, rice, potato, and maize, which reportedly account for nearly 80 percent of global food demand.

Cropin founder and CEO Krishna Kumar said, 'Sage redefines the landscape of agricultural intelligence, becoming an indispensable tool for navigating uncertainty and championing climate-smart agriculture.' The platform aims to assist various stakeholders including food companies, seed manufacturers, financial institutions, and governments in making data-driven decisions to enhance crop production planning and build resilient supply chains.

According to the company, 'Sage' can forecast future yields and identify ideal locations for growing crops, potentially addressing challenges in global food security.

Cropin plans to deploy 'Sage' globally in phases, based on enterprise customer requirements and demand.

The company claims this innovation will help tackle issues such as lack of transparent visibility into the global agricultural landscape and the need for robust digital infrastructure in agriculture and food systems.
