‘Exact Farming’ is a platform jointly developed by SupremeSAT and Silican Valley’s Exact Farming Inc (a Russian firm)  to offer high quality, most frequent, processes of  satellite imagery to the farmer community of Sri Lanka through the Ministry of Agriculture.
The Ministry has introduced the exact farming techniques in Sri Lanka under the ‘Wasa Visa Nethi Ratak’-- a mission to make Sri Lanka free of poisonous agro-chemicals and thereby free of poisoned or polluted food including rice, vegetables and fruits.
The Ministry will be able to receive exact information of agrarian lands in the country   and will also be directly linked with every farmer in Sri Lanka, Minister Duminda Dissanayake said.
“This will take the Sri Lankan agriculture to greater heights since globally accepted advanced benefits such as mapping, crop insurance, weather forecasting, harvest monitoring, seed/fertiliser/pesticide usage monitoring/distribution, harvest related warehousing/export/import planning, farmer pension portal etc. can now be made available to Sri Lanka”, he added.
An image from space allows farmers to analyze soil layers up to several meters deep and when machines put fertilizer in the soil, agricultural technology works according to an image from space and ruts are opened where they need to be opened.
Exact Farming’ will strive to make every Sri Lankan farmer to be fully equipped with all information relating to his crop cultivation starting from knowing where his land is to the weather, soil, cultivation, harvest data of that land at his finger tips .
All the crop cultivation information will be provided through a mobile application using satellite technology, he revealed.
This platform will create new value for farmers by supporting day­to­day agriculture decision with information from sensors, satellites and weather models.
Sri Lanka will become a gateway of introducing the services of ExactFarming Inc a Russian firm   whose founder is Mikhail Kokorich, a Russian millionaire who also owns Russia’s only private satellite manufacturing company.
