Singapore POLYBEE PTE. LTD. Full time

**ABOUT US**

Polybee is on a mission to enhance global food security. To achieve our mission, we are building technologies that increase productivity in the fresh produce sector in agriculture. Our first service forecasts yield and automates pollination using nano-drones and AI. Our main customers are seed companies, greenhouse co-operatives, and indoor vertical farms.

Polybee was incorporated in 2019 and is backed by some of the most prestigious institutions and deep-tech investors from Singapore such as the National University of Singapore, Temasek Foundation, elev8 VC and SEEDS Capital.

One of Polybee’s flagship features is yield measurement using computer vision and AI. As we collect visual data on major crops like tomatoes in greenhouses across several crop cycles, varieties, seasons, and regions, we are building a comprehensive database of yield with unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution. The main objective of this study is to investigate how a financial institution would measure the credit risk for a smallholder farmer looking to transform an open field into a greenhouse, and how Polybee’s proprietary yield database in greenhouses can be leveraged to facilitate provision of credit to a smallholder.
