About YieldComputer
YieldComputer is an AgriTech start-up which is using (AI (Artificial Intelligence)) technology and IoT, to help the soft fruit sector (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries) to drastically improve the accuracy of their harvests forecasts. With our product, this primary sector can become more resilient and sustainable, by having a better negotiation position, through better information, towards the large purchasing retailers.
More accurate yield forecasts also leads to a more efficient and sustainable use of resources.
Surpluses are identified more timely and as a result fresh soft fruit is less unnecessarily sold and processed industrially or disposed as waste. In addition, fruit, in which many resources have been put, is prevented from remaining unnecessarily in the field.
