AI-powered technology can assess quality of spinach, lettuce, rocket, chard, and red butter leaves on conveyor belts with expert-level accuracy 

GoMicro, an Adelaide-based GenAI agritech innovator, has partnered with Boratto Farms in Victoria to pioneer a breakthrough in leafy green quality control.

Sivam Krish, founder and CEO of GoMicro, said the company’s technology has solved one of the most challenging problems in the category. According to Krish, spinach leaves are notoriously difficult to assess with subtle defects and overlapping leaves, even large-scale manual inspection efforts often fail to deliver consistent outcomes.

This has made reliable, scalable quality control difficult to manage for the industry but Krish said GoMicro has cracked the code.

“We can now assess spinach, lettuce, rocket, chard, and red butter leaves on conveyor belts with expert-level accuracy — in minutes. Every QC check is time-stamped, image-verified, and instantly available online. That means no more subjectivity, no more guesswork — just consistent, defensible quality reports,” he said.

Krish said GoMicro’s compact “AI-in-a-box” solution deployed at Boratto Farms has proven it can deliver fast, objective, and highly accurate results — transforming what was once a slow, labour-intensive, and error-prone process.

“Green leaf QC is a labor-intensive, error-prone and subjective process. By using GoMicro, we’re not only improving consistency but also dramatically reducing inspection time,” said Mike Feildon, CEO of Boratto Farms.

“This technology allows us to respond faster to quality issues and consistently meet the high standards expected by our retail partners. It also enables us to look objectively at our quality and consistency.”

With rising labor costs and increasingly strict retailer requirements, GoMicro’s platform offers producers a scalable way to modernise operations, cut inspection costs, and consistently meet the toughest market standards.

“This milestone with Boratto Farms shows the future of green leaf QC,” added Krish. “We’ve proven it works in real-world farm operations — and it’s ready to scale across the industry. The early adopters will set the benchmark. Everyone else will be playing catch-up.”
