Machine Learning in Agriculture: 12 Production-Grade Models

Kernel is currently the leading producer of sunflower oil and one of the largest agroholdings in Ukraine. What business challenges are they addressing, and why is ML a must-have? This talk explores the development of the data science team at Kernel—from early experiments in Google Colab to building minimal in-house infrastructure and eventually scaling up through an infrastructure partnership with De Novo. The session will highlight their work on crop yield forecasting, the positive results from testing on H100, and how the speed gains enabled the team to solve more business tasks.
