Latin America accounts for 25% of global food exports. Agriculture contributes 4.7% of the GDP of Latin America and employs 14% of the population. Expressing her thoughts about the partnership, Susana Goitia Milano, Founder and CEO, Heaven Sprout Foods, said, “We are proud to continue building this wonderful partnership with Cropin. Eager to enhance local agriculture businesses, empowering them with innovation & technology. This virtuous circle will generate a social impact supporting the sustainable food system in Latin-America. The real challenge is to evolve from intuitive agriculture to smart farming, from ancient knowledge to big data. Agri-Tech will definitively speed up the food industry in the following years, but education and training of the users will be key to establish this new way of farming: The new set of habits for the agricultural sector”
Cropin’s unique suite of products will ensure an all-inclusive, sustainable, and productive agriculture in Latin America, focusing on low carbon emissions through farming practices and a climate-smart approach. This partnership will expand opportunities for both social & economic development of the agri-ecosystem in the region.
