IAA researcher Pamela Chogo demonstrates the AI-powered PataIntel digital platform, which provides onion and garlic farmers with timely, location-specific agricultural information to improve productivity, increase yields and boost incomes, during a farmers' training workshop in Arusha.
Arusha. Researchers at the Institute of Accountancy Arusha (IAA) have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered digital platform to provide onion and garlic farmers with timely, location-specific agricultural information, in a move expected to boost productivity, reduce post-harvest losses and improve incomes.
Known as Pataintel, the platform offers tailored recommendations throughout the production cycle, including land preparation, weather forecasts, crop management, pest and disease control, harvesting techniques and market access.
