BAT Brazil creates innovative technology for tobacco cultivation

A project created at BAT Brazil Labs, the second largest private technology park in Latin America, reinforces the commitment to the development of Brazilian agriculture. BAT Brazil has just filed a patent application with INPI for a technology capable of anticipating climatic and production risks that may impact tobacco cultivation. Through artificial intelligence and machine learning, the innovative solution helps predict key indicators, allowing for mitigation actions to ensure the quality of the harvest in each season. Developed at BAT Brazil Labs (BBL), an innovation and research center in Cachoeirinha (RS) and the second largest private technology park in Latin America, the project involved the participation of three CNPq fellows over the course of three years. The methodology, structured in three phases - analytical, predictive, and prescriptive - uses historical climate data, machine learning algorithms, and field results to offer real-time management recommendations - ...
