Potato crop will not spoil, multinational company introduced model

New Delhi. PepsiCo has launched a ‘Crop and Plot Level Intelligence Model’ through its brand Lay’s. Its purpose is to make the potato crop better. This model has been launched in association with Cropin. Cropin is a leading Agri-Tech company. It is known for building the first industry cloud for agriculture. This model has first been started as a pilot project in Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.

This initiative of PepsiCo has been started with the aim of helping the farmers in facing the challenges faced in potato cultivation. The company says that farmers often do not understand how much water, fertilizers or pesticides to add to the crop. Also, they do not have solid data related to the weather. Due to this many times the crops of the farmers get spoiled. Under this initiative, accurate information will be given to the farmers with the help of satellite. This system will be able to forecast for 10 days, so that the farmers will be able to know about the weather and the possible disease caused to the crops due to it. For this, a mobile app will be made, on which various types of information will be available on the dashboard (first screen).

The company has said that it sources 100 per cent potatoes for its chips from these 27,000 farmers across 14 states.
