CHALLENGE SCOPE
KSA has a growth policy to improve the dates production and export markets
Dates are economically, socially, culturally, and ecologically important in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and around the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries. Dates also play important roles in the history, heritage, and socioeconomic life of the population. We are looking for innovative solutions that utilize Earth observation data to provide a holistic solution facing pest prevention centers like WEQAA in KSA. Such centers face major issues in logistics, pest detection, response time, database management for inspection and tree counting and other problems which have massive associated costs to them.
