Demonstration Experiment

The Philippines' banana industry faces various issues, such as the growing damage caused by TR4 or the heavy workload involved in assessing production conditions.
To address these issues, we’ve partnered with the Philippine Department of Agriculture and Department of Science and Technology to develop technology for using AI to analyze aerial photographs such as drone photographs. Three farms in the Davao area are now being used as demonstration experiment sites to verify the use of this technology in early stage TR4 detection and for counting banana plants.
If this technology is commercially released, it will make it possible to quickly and quantitatively determine conditions across entire farms, formulate measures for improving productivity, and produce more detailed production statistics.
Our goal is to use this technology to contribute to the sustainable development of the Philippines’ banana industry.
