Adama teams up with Phytech

Adama Senior Strategy and Resources Vice President Dani Harari said the company’s core purpose is to simplify farmers' lives and improve their yields by creating simplicity in agriculture.

“This collaboration with an innovative company like Phytech is a powerful example of how Adama, with its global, farmer-centric commercialization platform, is uniquely positioned to bring simplicity and the best of Israeli innovation to farmers around the world," Harari said.

Phytech CEO Sarig Duek said the company is proud and excited to partner with Adama to provide growers in key crops and markets with the PlantBeat System so they can increase yields by optimizing irrigation practices.

“We believe that Adama's grower-focused approach will ensure the successful implementation of the technology for the benefit of growers worldwide," Duek said.
