why this is important with a drone you can actually see just 2 weeks before you can see to the naked eye so it helps the farmer make the right decision in time before the crop has a loss most risky money founded the company in terre africa in 2016 together with a find he startup is one of 12 across africa currently receiving guidance from the german government program for start ups he's kind of set regularly with the german saudis provide out for sustainable development g.i. said their initiative supports touchups in the agriculture and food sector in the us such for investors up until now most of their funding has come from the since. this moment business has also set up a demo system clients can use it to learn how to use the technology decent some issues the temperature humidity. various he has a special developed by the startup then transmits the data feel of charge to a cell phone it's not that is increasingly vital to the families asking it to be

farmers the technology can evaluate a plants grow old and a light potential problem areas it's even possible to estimate how high a crop yield will be with you performing well consistently you know that they can actually make adjustments on the farm too if they've got to their yield now where you look at the soil moisture analysis. so for this wild west it is blue whether it's good for western distribution yellow or green red is less red west are already right absolutely dry so what that tells us is the education lines here are not working. he'll meanwhile everything is going to plan. your route that kenya has been using the interior africans for about a year out of it to tables a flourishing she can also 40 percent more progress than before 2 hotels and local markets $200.00 farmers will really use the op appreciates it's user friendly set.

unlike before when you were depending a lot on. me to take and if i'm not able to be here then i have to depend on their work as sometimes they don't do the scouting properly they don't give me the correct information so these has been like my 2nd and giving me information which i cannot even see for example there with a group that has been able to improve crop yields in her awnings back in terra needs to send a lot of data to use a smart phones a local coverage in rural areas on the grid that the farmers have to purchase from mobile service providers can be obstacles for some especially small up businesses. that is all from us today we heard a lot of fun hosting the show hope you enjoyed watching for now it is a good buy for me sundra to know video here in company uganda and from him outside when lagos see you next week in the marines are do be sure to stay in touch on
