KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28  — Key Alliance Group Bhd’s subsidiary, Agrocloud Sdn Bhd, has entered into a joint-venture with Rimbun Daun Ventures (RDV) and Fortifoods Sdn Bhd to develop Rice Information Management System (RIMS), an integrated rice production management platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Key Alliance said the project is in line with the Federal government’s agenda of addressing national food security by promoting agro technology and precision farming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project aims to reduce national farmer subsidies and increasing the overall income of smallholder rice farmers by leveraging on the latest available technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“With food security being an ongoing issue, and with digitisation and technology becoming\u00a0the main focus of transition to\u00a0the future, the group views this as a milestone project to increase the awareness of cloud computing systems and Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance a traditional business, focusing on an Offline to Online strategy for small stakeholders,” it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this joint-venture, Agrocloud Sdn Bhd will be providing a comprehensive cloud system to relay IoT data collected from rice fields for analysis, interpretation and use by governing authorities and smallholder farmers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, RDV is contributing a separate paddy-related development project worth RM350,000 into this joint-venture. This project will be in Sekinchan, Selangor, and RDV will be providing an agricultural remote monitoring system as well as aerial crop health monitoring data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Fortifoods Sdn Bhd joins the consortium as the on-ground project manager, deploying IoT sensors, and has previously been successful in launching a non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) fortified rice product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
