Singapore-based tech company Umitron, in cooperation with Peruvian credit union Abaco and its trout farming subsidiary Piscis, has been approved for $2 million (€1.8 million) in project funding to improve aquaculture productivity in Lake Titicaca, Peru.
Piscis is one of the largest trout farmers in Peru. It is vertically integrated, operating two trout processing facilities that create high-value products for export to Asian, North American, and European markets, according to Umitron Product Manager Andy Davison.
Umitron’s artificial-intelligence-powered feeding technology has the potential to improve Lake Titicaca trout farmers operations in a number of ways, according to Managing Director Masahiko Yamada.
