With deep understanding of small-holder markets, UPL has established a highly diversified business across all key crops and geographies. We enjoy a leading position in emerging markets, which will account for ~80% of projected agricultural production in the next three decades.
Driving advanced crop performance monitoring in Africa
UPL launched an initiative for using drones, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and other aerial/vision technologies to make recommendations to growers. One of the primary objective being monitoring crops at specific stages, recommending rectification, and advancing solutions and ultimately predicting yield. This is a value-addition for both grower and distributors - monitoring every inch of the farm for early problem detection and accordingly responding with relevant actions. UPL completed the commercial launch in South Africa, followed by a global roll-out.
