LAYERS, our software, generates
key yield forecasting data. In addition, it offers analytics to the agricultural sector with a large direct impact. For example, clients can improve the efficiency in treatments (sowing, fertilization, irrigation, etc.) and generate
estimations in yield (tonnes per hectare), as well as quality estimates (e.g. soybeans protein quantity) for different crops. We know that producers, the agroindustry itself, or even insurance companies and traders in the agronomical sector are facing three main challenges, with a large impact in their gross margin:
- Crop Management
- Production yield and logistics
- Economical yield
- Climate change risk assessment
💧 💚
LAYERS helps minimize these risks through a high-quality continuous monitoring and predictions. We want to make LAYERS the core of all the yield-related
decisions in the agribusiness value-chain using data and statistics. Our slogan is
“Reshaping the future increasing land efficiency”
