| THE EARTH SAYS | Agricultural production depends up to 100% on pollination. That is why at TES we optimize it to achieve the maximum possible performance in your field. To improve this complex process, we develop a comprehensive service focused on the needs of your crops. We divide our service into different stages, which are: 1- Pollination strategy: Wegenerate a multifactorial analysis of the field so that you obtain a higher yield by presenting the type, number, and distribution of pollinators in the field. 2- Selection of Biological material: Through a multispectral analysis we evaluate the hives in the apiary of the beekeeper and select the best biological material that will go to your field. 3- Review: We ensure the quality of the biological material that reaches your field to pollinate. 4- Pollination monitoring: We provide an automated biological unit counting system for hives, which determines the work they are doing in the field, and through our web app we send daily updates of the comparison between expected yield and estimated yield. This service allows the farmer to obtain the maximum benefit that the pollination service can deliver, reflected in the increase in the yield per hectare (Ha) of the crop. The company was founded in 2019 and based in Santiago, Metropolitan Region in Chile. | $80K | Convertible Note | May 24, 2023 |  |
