By using this sophisticated tool on her growing farm she has managed to lower the cost of labour, and expenditure on gas and fertilizer. Some of the software functions that she uses on a regular basis include keeping records of the crops planted on each plot, to help with preparation and planning for the next season, keeping account of costs, managing the large number of seasonal workers, reporting and analysing the profitability of each crop and managing machinery. Conversely, after just 12 months, the ICT system has also shown her that some of the crops that have been cultivated there for years are not economical at all, and she is now investigating more profitable options. As a result, she is now considering investing in precision agriculture, as a way of reducing risks and further improving farm management, giving her precise information about when and how to irrigate to the greatest effect.
