Pixofarm and UPL will expand grower access to Pixofarm’s technology to help improve efficiency, productivity, and sustainability of fruit farms.
UPL Ltd., a global provider of sustainable agriculture solutions, announced recently that it is partnering with Austrian company Pixofarm GmbH to bring exciting new digital technologies to apple farmers. Pixofarm and UPL will work together to expand grower access to Pixofarm’s technology to help improve efficiency, productivity, and sustainability of fruit farms.
Pixofarm, an ag-tech start-up and recent winner of several awards including:
- Interpoma Startup Awards, Winner, 2020
- Global Startup Awards, Best Newcomer, 2020
- Startup Europe Smart Agrifood Summit, Best Practical Solution for the Agrifood Sector, 2020
With this data, fruit producers can optimise the application of inputs, increase their production and efficiently plan and improve their operational activities such as logistics, packaging, warehousing, sales and marketing.
UPL – one of the world’s leading agri-inputs companies and a key supplier of crop protection, biological and organic inputs to fruit growers – believes that Pixofarm can help apple growers reduce costs and optimise yields by improving growers access to data on the status of their crop and orchard.
UPL will support Pixofarm’s growth by expanding its access to apple growers across Europe and giving Pixofarm additional capital to invest in accelerating product development towards a fully integrated smart farming solution. As an OpenAg Digital Partner, Pixofarm’s expansion will be supported by the UPL network which currently operates across 130 countries.
