To promote the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in sugarcane production, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Vasantdada Sugar Institute (VSI) and the Agricultural Development Trust (ADT), Baramati on Monday.
VSI brought the Maharashtra State Cooperative Sugar Factory Federation, West India Sugar Mills Association, and the ADT, Baramati together to take the AI technology to the sugarcane fields
“VSI and the Agricultural Development Trust have today entered into an MoU. Through this agreement, the focus will be on ensuring that this technology reaches as many farmers as possible. In this endeavour, the West India Sugar Mills Association and the National Cooperative Sugar Factories Federation will also be of significant assistance. Today, even though the area under sugarcane cultivation is large, there are several shortcomings in terms of production. Efforts need to be made to address these shortcomings,” said VSI President and former union agriculture minister Sharad Pawar speaking on the occasion.
