Empowering Farming Cooperatives with Shared Smart Technology

The average farm size in Cambodia is small. For a single family farming 1 hectare, investing in a complete smart irrigation setup or a large nethouse can be cost-prohibitive.

The Cooperative Model

We are seeing success stories where agricultural cooperatives pool their resources to invest in shared infrastructure:

• Shared Water Source: A single, large community pond equipped with one powerful pump and a ChalatFarm controller.
• Digital Scheduling: Cooperative members use the app to book time slots for water access, ensuring fair distribution.
• Nursery Hubs: Building one large, high-tech nethouse to grow seedlings for the entire community before transplanting them to open fields.

Technology is proving to be a powerful tool for strengthening community bonds and increasing collective bargaining power.
