LIC Expands Into Indonesia With First Dairy Genetics Sale
Herd improvement company LIC has entered the Indonesian market.
Farmer co-operative LIC has closed its satellite-backed pasture measurement platform – Space.
The decision follows a review of the Space service. The Space service ended May 31 and farmer customers have been transitioned to AI-backed pasture measurement entities - Aimer, Halter and Pasture.io.
LIC says a review was undertaken of the service this year to ensure it has alignment with its strategic focus for the future.
As a result, its senior leadership team, in consultation with the board, decided to close the service.
“Since its launch in 2017, we have proudly delivered Space to farms across New Zealand as an innovative way to measure pasture cover using satellite image technology,” LIC says.
“As our Space satellite nears its last orbit, we want to thank our customers who have used Space as part of their pasture management on farm.”
