Zuari FarmHub has initiated the pilot trials of the CropX system at Zuari Agri Innovation Centre in Solapur as well as select farmer fields across Karnataka and Maharashtra.

This helps farmers to make informed decisions that optimise resource usage and improve crop growth.
Speaking on the collaboration, Madan Pandey, MD & CEO of Zuari FarmHub said, “We, at Zuari FarmHub are thrilled to partner with a pioneering agritech company like CropX Technologies, that shares our vision of revolutionising agriculture through cutting-edge technology.
