Washington: A group of Indian Americans has developed an app that provides
AI-driven insight to farmers for making better farming decisions.

Launched at the InvestSmart Caribbean Summit in Washington DC last week, the
LetZFarm App is being put to use in the Caribbean Island nation of Trinidad and
Tobago. It has been developed by Massachusetts-based Abris Inc in collaboration
with the Carbon Zero Institute of Trinidad and Tobago.

“It is a smart agricultural farmer’s companion app that helps the farmer through
AI-driven insights to make better farming decisions. It helps them from a food
security perspective, and also it helps them to combat climate change. That
means to adapt to the changing environmental conditions,” Priya Samant, CEO and
co-founder of Abris Inc, told PTI.

“Our goal is now to go to different Caribbean nations. We are already in talks
with Guyana and other nations,” she said. “It's a very scalable app. Our roadmap
is to make this a one-stop solution for the farmers. This is what we have done
in the first phase: help them grow better, get them the weather alerts, get them
the market prices for the crops they are with the pesticide stuff,” she said.

Bringing AI to the farming and agriculture sector will help both the rural
development and agricultural sector a lot, said Hemang Jani, senior advisor to
the executive director of the World Bank on India, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Sri
Lanka.

“It'll help in bringing the productivity in the agriculture products, reducing
the prices, bringing farmers to the right markets at the right price, at the
right place, at the right time,” said Jani, who formally launched the app at the
InvestSmart Caribbean Summit.



The LetZfarm application, he said, is a very good example of India and Indians
expanding their knowledge worldwide and helping regions like the Caribbean and
Latin America.

“Whatever we do in India is a lesson for everywhere and whatever we can bring in
terms of knowledge and collaboration with the Latin American region is very
welcome,” Jani said.
