Source.ag, a provider of AI-driven solutions for vegetable growers, has announced the launch of three new product tiers aimed at making high-quality data and AI integration more accessible and affordable. These new offerings are designed to help growers enhance their efficiency, scale their operations, and increase profitability by embedding AI into their daily workflows.
With the greenhouse sector at a critical turning point, the company is offering tailored solutions to simplify data collection, improve decision-making, and drive operational productivity. Source.ag emphasizes that AI is not meant to replace growers but to provide them with tools that enhance their expertise, helping them make more informed decisions while optimizing their resources.
Source Workspace: A Centralized Data Hub for Greater Visibility
One of the new offerings, Source Workspace, addresses the challenge of fragmented data across multiple systems, which often results in limited transparency and visibility into greenhouse operations. This platform consolidates all operational data in one place, providing quick access to crucial cultivation metrics. With real-time insights, growers can monitor their performance, collaborate seamlessly, and make timely data-driven decisions.
By integrating with various data sources and workflows, Source Workspace ensures that growers are well-positioned to incorporate AI into their operations, ultimately driving efficiency and profitability at scale.
Harvest Forecast: Improving Yield Predictions and Market Strategy
The introduction of Harvest Forecast is set to improve growers’ ability to predict yields with greater accuracy, mitigating the risks associated with unreliable forecasts. Inaccurate predictions often lead to conservative trading practices and an increased reliance on volatile spot markets, resulting in missed opportunities and unnecessary waste. Additionally, poor yield forecasting complicates downstream operations such as labor, packaging, and logistics, further increasing costs.
Harvest Forecast provides daily yield predictions up to eight weeks in advance, updating forecasts regularly with the latest data. This enables more precise collaboration between growers, labor managers, and sales teams, ensuring that adjustments can be made in real-time. With improved forecasting capabilities, growers can secure more pre-arranged contracts at stable prices while reducing operational expenses.
Cultivation Management: Data-Driven Decision Making for Higher Yields
Another key addition to Source.ag’s offerings is Cultivation Management, a tool designed to help growers navigate the complexities of strategic crop decisions. Factors such as stem density, fruit pruning, temperature, and lighting can have long-term consequences on yield, making it difficult to predict outcomes, especially when external conditions such as weather and energy prices fluctuate.
This new tool allows growers to run virtual simulations, testing different strategies to evaluate their impact on plant growth, fruit weight, and overall yield. By making informed adjustments before implementation, growers can minimize risk while maximizing production efficiency. This approach reduces uncertainty, enhances resource utilization, and ensures plant health is maintained throughout the growing season.
A Comprehensive AI-Driven Ecosystem for Greenhouse Growers
The newly introduced product tiers are part of a broader suite of AI-powered solutions developed by Source.ag to support growers throughout their operations. Source Workspace is backed by Source Plant App, a tool that helps digitize plant data at no additional cost, enabling deeper insights into plant health and growth patterns.
Additionally, Source Irrigation Control facilitates automated irrigation and nutrient management, allowing growers to streamline these processes with minimal manual intervention. Source Cloud further simplifies operations by integrating cultivation data with internal analytics tools such as Power BI, enhancing data analysis and reporting capabilities. Together, these solutions create a fully integrated ecosystem, equipping growers with advanced AI tools to manage, automate, and optimize their operations efficiently.
Expanding Global Reach and Supporting Sustainable Food Production
With the introduction of these new AI-driven solutions, Source.ag continues its commitment to supporting greenhouse growers worldwide. The company aims to break down barriers to data access and AI adoption, helping growers achieve more sustainable and profitable operations.

According to Rien Kamman, Co-founder and CEO of Source.ag, these advancements put growers in a stronger position to integrate AI into their daily routines, ultimately contributing to the global effort to produce fresh fruits and vegetables more efficiently and sustainably.
“The three new product tiers represent Source.ag’s commitment to supporting growers through innovation and technology. By removing barriers to data access and AI adoption, Source.ag aims to supercharge growers’ capabilities, enabling them to achieve more sustainable and profitable operations. With these advancements, Source.ag puts its customers in pole-position to adopt AI in their daily operations and continues to drive the transformation of global food production, helping to ensure access to fresh fruits and vegetables for more people in a sustainable way.”
Source.ag’s AI solutions are currently deployed in over 300 commercial greenhouses spanning 1,800 hectares across 19 countries. These facilities collectively produce fresh vegetables for more than 60 million people, with the number expected to grow as more greenhouse operators adopt AI-powered solutions.
The company’s clients include prominent greenhouse growers such as Agro Care, Thanet Earth, The Green House Growers, Grupa Mularski, Le Jardin de Rabelais, Hazel Farms Group, and Delta View. Additionally, Source.ag collaborates with leading agricultural organizations, including Bayer, Priva, Ridder, Aranet, Syngenta, Enza Zaden, Rijk Zwaan, and the World Horti Center, reinforcing its presence in the global greenhouse industry.
With AI-driven tools becoming increasingly central to modern greenhouse operations, Source.ag’s latest product tiers are poised to help growers optimize productivity, improve financial outcomes, and contribute to a more resilient and efficient global food supply chain.
