Emerging from academic research projects, Easyrice Digital Technology Co Ltd has grown into a cutting-edge tech startup focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) within the agricultural sector, specifically tailored towards bettering the rice industry in Thailand.

 

Easyrice provides AI-powered solutions designed to simplify and enhance the systems of rice quality inspections and data management, offering faster, more precise processes. As a result, this innovative technology significantly reduces errors, time, and financial costs typically associated with traditional inspection procedures.

 

Established in 2019 by a team of tech researchers, Easyrice has been the recipient of numerous awards in 2022, including three accolades at the Asia-Pacific ICT Alliance Awards for industrial application, AI, and as first runner-up in the startup category.

Phuvin Kongsawat, the CEO and co-founder of Easyrice, explained that during his university research projects on rice, he found various problems significantly impeding the productivity of the rice supply chain.

 

This included the adulteration of paddy varieties and costly inefficiencies in the standard rice quality inspection process.

I bought some Hom Mali the other day... at least that's what was advertised on the bag.. the rice inside, poor quality and no fragrance.
