Ai leafy green quality control gomicro boratto farms australia

By AgFoodNews Staff May 22, 2026



Adelaide, South Australia โ€” 24 September 2025 โ€” GoMicro, an Adelaide-based GenAI agritech innovator, together with Boratto Farms in Victoria, has delivered a major breakthrough in leafy green quality control โ€” solving an industry challenge that has long been considered nearly impossible.

Spinach, lettuce, rocket, chard and other leafy greens are notoriously difficult to inspect. Defects are subtle, leaves overlap on conveyor belts, and even large teams of annotators often fail to achieve consistent, objective results. For years, producers have struggled to build reliable QC workflows at scale.

GoMicro has now cracked the code.
Its compact AI-powered โ€œAI-in-a-Boxโ€ system can accurately detect minute defects even when leaves overlap, delivering expert-level quality reports in minutes โ€” fully time-stamped, image-verified, and consistent across shifts.

Boratto Farms, one of Australiaโ€™s trusted vegetable producers, has already deployed the solution and is seeing measurable improvements:

  • Faster and more consistent quality checks
  • Significant reduction in manual inspection time
  • Objective, defensible quality reports for retail partners
  • Improved ability to respond early to quality issues
โ€œGreen leaf QC is a labor-intensive, subjective and error-prone process. By using GoMicro, weโ€™re improving consistency and reducing inspection time dramatically,โ€ said Mike Feildon, CEO of Boratto Farms.

As labour costs rise and retailers demand stricter quality assurance, the shift to AI-driven QC is becoming not optional but essential for food processors.

Dr. Sivam Krish, Founder & CEO of GoMicro, commented:
โ€œOur GenAI technology solves one of the hardest challenges in leafy green QC. We can assess overlapping leaves with expert-level accuracy โ€” in minutes, not hours. Every result is time-stamped, image-verified and instantly accessible online.โ€
