KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 5 — Mimos Berhad, a government agency under the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry , is spearheading an initiative to allow Malaysian farmers to have free access to satellite data and artificial intelligence technology to improve yields through better use of chemicals and fertilisers.
Aside from optimising the use of these inputs, they said that farmers can monitor biomass performance and health to identify and investigate critical zones and take countermeasures.

“With this partnership, we aim to increase agricultural productivity across the country, support farmers and thereby contribute socially and environmentally by reducing the footprint of agriculture. This digital agriculture initiative also includes the use of HELM’s mobile crop doctor, the Plantix digital application for farmers to upload photos of sick plants for analysis.
