Agriculture
EightX Agriculture’s key strategy to stay competitive is through Smart Farming, by adopting best-in-class practices and advanced technologies to lower production costs. The division produces high-quality rice and sorghum in Indonesia and exports to both the domestic and international markets worldwide.
As a natural produce, the texture and quality of rice and sorghum could vary upon weather conditions and cultivation area.
Through the use of technologies such as rice transplanting machines equipped with GPS, it lowers EightX’s production costs and provides a workaround for the chronic manpower shortage, thereby making EightX Agriculture’s exports more competitive.
Ultimately, Smart Farming leads to a reduction in cost for man-hours as well as the overall rice and sorghum cultivation time needed.
