Israeli smart farming co SupPlant raises $10m
Summary
All this info is uploaded every 10 minutes to an algorithm in the cloud, which provides simple, precise irrigation recommendations to farmers based on the integration of all this data. SupPlant’s technology was initially a hardware-software solution which grew by 1,200% in 2020, and was widely used in Mexico, South Africa, Argentina and Australia. SupPlant CEO Ori Ben Ner said, "The funds raised in this round will allow us to speed up implementation of our new development - a fully sensor-less industry defining irrigation regime. It is far superior from any common practice available and is built for the vast majority of farmers on earth - smallholders that can’t afford access to hardware intense technology and unique knowledge. We already have strategic and disruptive agreements in place with global leaders that will allow us to reach millions of farmers in the upcoming year with this new and exciting technology."
