Leading AI company SingularityNET, whose platform lets anyone create, share, and monetize AI services at scale, has announced a partnership with HARA at the World Web Forum to offer AI-powered crop diagnosis and data analytics to Indonesian farmers. HARA aims to bring critical information like soil quality, grain price, and land ownership onto blockchain so farmers can increase annual yields.

“From its conception, SingularityNET has been committed to broadening access to AI. We want to see a world where AI is open and decentralized — accessed and influenced by all. HARA’s grassroots focus falls right in line with this goal,” said Arif Khan, SingularityNET VP Of Marketing and Partnerships.

“In Indonesia, family-owned farms represent the core of the country’s economy, but that’s not reflected in the distribution of wealth. This partnership will help change that and as a native of the ASEAN region, we couldn’t be prouder to see a leading player like HARA tackle this challenge head-on.”

HARA’s development team intends to use SingularityNET’s AI-enabled platform to implement and/or modify existing algorithms for diagnosing and gaining a better understanding of the causes of various crop diseases. The partnership also involves conducting more research into automated crop diagnosis processes by using the latest AI tools and resources.

HARA is targeting smallholder farmers. We want to connect these farmers with financial institutions and distributors, transition them to blockchain, and arm them with a leapfrog technology that equips them with better data so they can have better yields. Commenting on the collaborative effort, Regi Wahyu, the CEO at HARA, said:

Over the past year, many blockchain-related applications have emerged in the agriculture sectors, most of which have focused on improving the transparency and efficiency of the supply chain. Last October, the world’s four largest agricultural companies announced a partnership to digitize international food transactions through blockchain and artificial intelligence.
