An Israeli startup is raising US$30mil (RM127.9mil) from Singaporean venture capital firms and other investors to bring cutting-edge technology to agricultural businesses in Asia.

The five-year-old company, Taranis, has developed artificial intelligence that helps drone cameras capture high-definition pictures of crops from the air, detailed enough to see tiny insects on lower leaves. The images can then be used to make real-time decisions about fertiliser, pesticides and cultivation.
