"We look forward to updating our shareholders in the coming months as we progress business opportunities in India and other developing nations," he added.
Developing countries face mounting challenges, including limited availability of land and water, depleted soil health, flood irrigation, falling water levels and rising input costs.
The company noted that its SMART Seeder technology addresses many of these challenges in the context of North American farming operations.
Clean Seed is made up of a team of innovators and experts in the agricultural space and its flagship product, the result of years of research and investment, is the Smart Seeder MAX, a scalable seeding and planting machine, which combines sophisticated digital electronic metering and intuitive software to plant all commercial crop types with hyper accuracy setting a whole new standard for the space.
Put simply, the product can precision sow seeds, along with other items needed - supplements, fertilizers - all in one pass.
