Our food system suffers from climate change and its own inefficiencies leading to unpredictability of the prices for farmers, 10-20% of food lost never reaching the consumer, and logistics further causing up to 20% of world’s CO2 emissions.
    With our first solution in Agriculture Supply Chain Optimization, KIREAP has already proven to support smallholder farmers in India with improved market connectivity and increase in revenues. In addition, KIREAP’s remote sensing solution supports Insurers, governments with fraud prevention while farmers benefit from faster claim processing. For that purpose, KIREAP is growing in Italy and is in the process of setting up a joint venture with a renowned international reinsurer. In 2026 KIREAP Italy will conduct a pilot until mid-year and subsequently secures and delivers on commercial contracts.
