Planet and BASF Collaboration for Agriculture

Planet, an integrated aerospace and data analytics company, and BASF announced a commercial deal to deliver timely satellite imagery and data to European farmers to enable more effective agronomic decision making. BASF will use Planet’s daily, global satellite imaging to develop analytics to power field zone metrics and insights for its digital farming platform, marketed under the xarvioTM brand. “This partnership further solidifies the value of Planet’s daily satellite data in the agriculture industry,” said Nate Dickerman, CCO of Planet. “Planet’s high-frequency, medium resolution imagery is perfectly suited for BASF’s xarvio products across Europe. We’re really looking forward to promoting sustainable agriculture through digital farming with BASF.”
