NEC Invests in CropX as it Goes Beyond Irrigation

TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 9, 2022

NEC's investment comes after a successful implementation with CropX technologies and NEC's CropScope, its agricultural ICT Platform on tomato's sustainable farming. The CropX technology suite offers farmers and agribusinesses powerful decision and planning tools accessible via a web and mobile app. CropX harnesses real-time soil data and satellite imagery to guide farmers to higher yields with lower inputs, supporting wise land and water stewardship, a win-win for farmers and the Earth.

CropX CEO Tomer Tzach: It is an exciting day when a happy customer becomes an investor, especially when that customer is NEC Corp, a transformative force at the forefront of technology innovation for over a century. This investment shows an aligned vision for future farming sustainability and validation of the great benefits CropX can bring to NEC's farmer-customers worldwide.
