Orchard owners lack affordable, localized monitoring systems to make data-driven decisions on irrigation, frost, and disease risk, and it's unclear if they are willing to pay for such a service.
Existing 'smart farming platforms' are expensive, complex, and not tailored to local orchard needs, leaving small orchard owners without affordable, easy-to-use monitoring tools.
