Philippines agriculture segment has a huge potential to scale up the existing agri-commodity produce and multiply the current $7 billion agriculture export. In order to accelerate the country’s vision to achieve self-sufficiency in major agriculture crops and scale exports, farmers in the country need to be empowered with tech-enabled modern agriculture and Climate Smart practices. Cropin has digitized 16 million acres of farmland globally, improving the livelihoods of more than 7 million farmers. With this partnership, the company is strengthening its commitment to the Philippines agri ecosystem by collaborating with large enterprises and agri businesses in the region, to deliver impact at scale.

Agriculture is a critical national priority sector, GDP contributor and a major employer in South-East Asian economies including the Philippines. The sector is beset by various challenges including shrinking rural population, resource use inefficiency, post-harvest losses, poor quality of produce, climate change, pandemic-induced challenges, and unsustainable farming practices - all resulting in low productivity and incomes. Leveraging the Cropin platform, Philippines’ rice, corn, sugarcane, coconut, pineapple, banana, mango and other agriculture sub-segments can increase farm productivity by 20% to 30%, resulting in significant improvements in farmer income and profitability. This can have a significant impact on the region's economic progress, social upliftment, food security, and future-proof farming in the Philippines.

Cropin has been deploying its ag-intelligence solutions in partnership with its B2B customers in the South-East Asia region. The partnership with True Digital will significantly accelerate the pace of transformation and impact of data-enabled agriculture in the region.
