Problems in agriculture have continued to rise, ranging from increasing production cost, natural disasters such as typhoons, flooding, technical inefficiency leading to lower yield, and unfortunately, deflation of rice crop from 18-17Php/kl to 13Php/kl.

Despite the pandemic we are currently facing which affects different sectors of businesses and its longevity, the agriculture industry shall not falter in the production and distribution of farm inputs, as a Retail and Distribution company, this poses a lot of challenges to sustain business developments and will result in an inquisitive approach for adjustments, but for an Agri-Solutions Provider, it opened up a lot of opportunities, new strategies, and approach for business growth. As we aim to reach our customers and help them to attain a quality yield, we need to provide an efficient way to support them in their farming needs, that’s why we came up with this idea.

A Platform for Cool and Profitable farming. What we can do right now to sustain our farming business is to lower production costs for crops, improve our way of farming, equip our farmers with real-time information, monitor and provide recommendations on how to enhance their yield. But how? The answer lies in our everyday usage of smartphone devices that enable us to accomplish this kind of interaction that we are looking for and mostly solve the above problems. Our latest Aljay technology, a mobile application for farmers that gives them the experience of a cool way of farming and aids their farming practices to achieve the promised harvest of 8-10 metric tons on our very own Y+ Solutions package.

We are expecting to continuously update our mobile application, eventually reaching farmers across the Philippines and expanding its features to be the sole solution for farming needs. We won’t cease until we have created a community for farmers where we can learn, share, and continuously innovate for a better farming business and persuade the youth to dive into agriculture. With our passion to help the farmers and our experience in agriculture, this is a product of research and technology. Ladies and gentlemen, our very own Y+ Mobile Application.
