| River Poultry is addressing a critical gap in Uganda's poultry industry. Consumers struggle to differentiate between fresh, high-quality eggs and those that are potentially spoilt. Simultaneously, farmers grapple with low profitability due to inefficient production and limited market information.To tackle these challenges, we'vedeveloped Kuevos-AI, an advanced egg-scanning technology that accurately detects defects and determines egg freshness. This ensures consumers receive only the highest quality products while empowering farmers to make data-driven decisions. Additionally, our AI-powered systems predict market demand, enabling us to optimize production and reduce waste. By combining these innovative solutions, River Poultry is enhancing food safety, increasing farmer incomes, and building a sustainable poultry value chain. | $5.6K / Seed / Jul 21, 2023 | ||
