Smart Farming in the Indonesian Coffee Garden:?

satu minggu yang lalu

Technology in the world is now starting to get to a level I didn't seem to think of. There are sensors for soil monitors, drones for garden mappings, even AI for crop predictions. Sounds pretty sophisticated.

But the question is, is it realistic for implementation in a country like Indonesia to be a small majority of farmers? Or is this just gonna be a "tools" for big management? If this technology can help with efficiency and quality, it should be a game changer. But in the field, how worsimal is it?

i'm a 2-acre farmer in Sumatra. The IOT sensors sold in that store cost Rp2- 3 million per unit, not to mention the Internet infrastructure and the mainench. It's equivalent to 1 -2 quintal Zcherry our harvest. No way. If you want smart farming to get into a small farm, the subsidiary needs to be clear from the government or the operatives.

smart farming has a spectrum, and this is something that's not often known. Level 0: paper and intuition are hereditary. Level 1: Phone + app monitoring free weather. Level 2: cheap soil moisture sensor for hundreds of thousands. 3rd level: LOT fully integrated. Most small farmers can be level 1 -2 free of charge.

there's an interesting story from Gumaro, One drone divided by 20 farmers, the cost per person becomes perfectly reasonable. This cooperative model is more realistic for small farms than it is for each of you to buy your own.

i'd like to ask if i may: what is the most basic technology a small farmer can try? don't need to be sophisticated. i don't know where to begin.

easiest to start from free: install BMKG or Windy weather applications, and try Google Earth to see the conditions of land from satellite. It's totally free and it helps to understand the garden patterns better. Then think of the pay when it feels like it needs to be done.

if you want cost-efficient, one set weather station + soil sensor entry level can cover 10 acres where the data is shared together. it's perfect for cooperative models. the important thing is that there are people who can read the data and translate to real decisions when they flush, when the spray, when the harvest window.

i'll start with the free cell phone and the BMKG. app seriously just to start understanding garden weather patterns. It only goes up when it's full of benefits.
