AgTechCentric makes new technologies accessible for farmers and industrials.

Australia has a long history in mechanization: in Melbourne they developed the first harvester and it was quite a revolutionary technology, and Australia became more productive.

Rohan Rainbow, CEO of AgtechCentric, asks the following questions regarding these new technologies:

- How is it going to make a difference in farmers' business?

- How is it going to give them confidence?

Now, as a government adviser, Rohan Rainbow tries to help industries to have access to new technologies, particularly in crop protection, and as a national investment manager.

With no support, australian farmers have to be very productive and efficient. So when they find a technology that works, there is a very high adoption level.

Here are the considerations for farm autonomy in Australia:

- Australia is at the forefront of practice improvement for farming systems,

- Labour cost and availability are key drivers,

- Precedence of widespread mining autonomy in Australia,

- Few regulatory barriers for agricultural machine autonomy,

- An industry code of practice for farm autonomy is currently in development.

In addition to these considerations, Australia is a market that is ready, with the possibility to incubate and run practical experience of robots in crops, furthermore Australia’s objective is to remove the operator from the field.
