The tie-up will help bolster India’s agri-output with the power of micro-irrigation
AgriBazaar signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Rivulis, a global leader in micro-irrigation products and solutions. As part of the collaboration, agribazaar will enable the farmers on its platform to deploy Rivulis’ best-in-class field irrigation management products and solutions to increase their lands’ yield output effectively.
In the first phase of the partnership, agribazaar will facilitate purchasing and installing Rivulis’ drip irrigation systems for the sugarcane farmers on its platforms. Eventually, the services will be offered to all the farmers – over 3,00,000 – currently registered on the agribazaar platform.
agribazaar will leverage agribhumi, its remote sensing engine, to determine the exact condition of the farmland and ensure the use of irrigated water in a uniform manner. It will assess the need of individual farmers based on their land topography, soil conditions, crop selection and weather forecasting. The platform will also provide in-depth field state analytics with the agriculture weather forecast, vegetation indices, and stages of plant growth, among other vital factors.
The MoU signing ceremony was attended by Kaushal Jaiswal, MD, Rivulis India, Richard Klapholz, CEO, Rivulis Israel, and Eran Ossmy, President, Drip Products Division. Amit Mundawala, Co-founder and MD and Amith Agarwal, CEO & Co-founder represented agribazaar.
