Priva developed the Deleafing Robot in cooperation with a large number of growers and this means the product received ample field testing.
The jury views Priva’s innovation as the start of a large series of robots, which will be developed for and utilised in horticulture over the coming years. In short, Priva’s Deleafing Robot heralds the start of a new era for international horticulture.
