This is like giving a smart weather-and-soil detective satellite photos and past harvest data so it can guess how big this year’s crop will be before farmers actually harvest it.
Helps farmers and agribusinesses forecast crop yields more accurately and earlier than traditional methods, reducing uncertainty in planning inputs, logistics, pricing, and risk management.
Access to high-quality historical yield data and remote sensing imagery for specific regions, plus tailored models calibrated to local crops and conditions, create a data and know-how moat that is hard to replicate quickly.

Availability and quality of labeled historical yield data aligned with remote sensing and weather features; spatial and temporal resolution of satellite imagery can also limit accuracy at field level.

Combining AI with remote sensing for crop yield prediction focuses on scalable, non-intrusive monitoring of large areas, going beyond traditional field surveys and purely statistical models that lack rich spatial information.
