Walmart partners with Agritask to monitor sensitive crops — Walmart.com

Walmart has launched a pilot project with crop supply intelligence provider Agritask to monitor certain sensitive fruit crops:

“The pilot will deploy Agritask’s remote sensing and data analytics tools in various regions in the U.S. and Mexico to provide real-time, hyperlocal insights on seasonal blackberry and cherry crops from select Walmart suppliers. These crops were selected due to their high sensitivity to temperature fluctuations and moisture levels, which can significantly affect their growth, quality, transport and shelf life. Through real-time monitoring, the collaboration will drive rapid response to adverse environmental conditions to better manage supply and, thereby, enhance overall produce quality.“
