Orth, launching today at Fruit Attraction in Madrid, provides personalized real-time insights to empower growers facing rising input costs and climate volatility. It uses satellite and weather monitoring, predictive analytics, and conversational AI to deliver plot-level precision. Orth aims to achieve over 20% improvements in yield and efficiency for farmers.
