On November 25, the Taiwan Technical Mission (TTM) held its 48th-anniversary celebration in Jakarta, focusing on how Taiwan's innovative technologies can support the transformation and modernization of Indonesian agriculture. The event attracted officials from Indonesia's Ministry of Agriculture, industry professionals, and local representatives. DATAYOO, a leading Taiwanese AI startup, was invited to participate and showcase its smart agriculture solution—FarmiSpace.

A Strong Partnership for Sustainable Development

TTM leader Dennis Kao reflected on the mission’s 48 years of challenges and achievements, stating, "Over the past 48 years, TTM has built strong partnerships with Indonesia's agricultural sectors and farmers. These relationships are the cornerstone of our efforts toward sustainable agricultural development." He highlighted how TTM has effectively supported Indonesian farmers in improving productivity and market competitiveness by introducing innovative Taiwanese technologies and adopting tailored cooperation models.

FarmiSpace: A Game Changer in Smart Agriculture

In a bilingual presentation (Indonesian and English), DATAYOO provided a detailed overview of FarmiSpace’s features and its practical applications in collaboration with TTM. The solution leverages AI to empower the management of key crops, addressing challenges in agricultural production:

Okra: By utilizing water index monitoring technology, FarmiSpace analyzes soil and plant moisture levels, enabling farmers to adopt precise irrigation practices and significantly reduce water waste.
Bitter Gourd: Through its plant health index, FarmiSpace detects disease risks early and sends smart alerts, helping farmers take preventive measures to minimize crop damage.
Rice: Using multi-layer plant reflectance data, FarmiSpace evaluates growth stages and provides precise fertilization recommendations, boosting both yield and quality.

A Warm Reception from Agricultural Leaders

The innovative technology presented by DATAYOO received widespread praise from attendees. Chris Summers, an advisor to Indonesia's Ministry of Agriculture, commented, "FarmiSpace’s groundbreaking technology in precision agriculture will bring substantial benefits to Indonesia’s crop production. I look forward to seeing this solution implemented in more regions in the future."

Following the event, officials from Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture and corporate representatives actively explored collaboration opportunities, expressing interest in applying FarmiSpace technology to a broader range of crop cultivation and management practices.

Empowering Agriculture with AI for a Sustainable Future

Shaw Wu, CEO of DATAYOO, stated, "We are committed to bringing Taiwan’s AI technology to the global agricultural sector, especially in regions like Indonesia with vast agricultural potential. Our goal is to help farmers improve productivity and reduce risks. We look forward to working with more Indonesian partners to drive agricultural modernization and smart farming."

At its core, FarmiSpace leverages data technology to provide farmers with precise and efficient solutions, enhancing crop management while promoting sustainability. With the deepening collaboration between Taiwan’s technical mission and enterprises, smart agriculture is poised to become a key driver in transforming Indonesia’s agricultural sector, fostering long-term prosperity and sustainable development.
