Pilot Capabilities
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Explore each capability
What the pilot is testing, one by one.
- AI Quality VerificationOne photo of a plucked sample, a simple quality read in seconds.
- Live Auction FeedsConnecting field decisions to what leaf actually fetches.
- Collector Tier SystemA transparent ladder where volume and quality set what you earn.
- Factory DashboardA clearer view of what supply is coming, and at what quality.
THE FORMULA
What the pilot is measuring
Auction outcomes, leaf quality, factory capacity, routing and weather all move the value of a day's picking. The pilot is testing how much each one actually matters.
1. Auction NSA
We look at Colombo Tea Auction outcomes by district and grade to understand what leaf is actually worth.
2. Quality & Urgency
We are testing whether leaf grade can be read reliably from a photo, and how factory capacity changes what supply is worth.
3. Route & Weather
Rain affects both leaf condition and how hard it is to move. We are measuring how much that shifts the outcome.
Join the PLANet-ZERO pilot
We are now inviting smallholders and small factories to join a free pilot focused on better leaf, better field guidance, and better factory outcomes.
A simple way to help farmers earn more and help factories make more from every kilo of leaf.
