McCain Foods has purchased a predictive crop intelligence portfolio from Resson, an analytics technology firm, to enhance farming efficiency. The vision-intelligence-based technologies leverage field data imagery to enable farmers to make better-informed decisions, leading to the improved productivity of farms.

Through the acquisition, Resson’s team that currently manages the predictive crop intelligence portfolio will join McCain and become the nucleus of a newly formed business unit within the company. The team will continue to work with various food processors and farmers to deliver valuable field and crop information.

An early investor in digital agriculture technologies, McCain has been working and collaborating with Resson for the past nine years to develop algorithms that forecast farm yields, based on the assessment of potato fields and crop development, through remote sensing technologies. Its latest acquisition will create scale for these technologies as McCain carries this service forward by investing in its growth, and will advance McCain’s commitments to regenerative agriculture through smart and sustainable farming practices.
