Culminating the Durian Dream
UP Mindanao’s Project DALISAI unveiled three groundbreaking and innovative digital applications developed to modernize durian farming and agricultural data management in the Philippines at its ‘Launch and Learn’ event held on July 11, 2025, at Eden Nature Park and Resort, Davao City.
“The DALISAI Dashboard is a comprehensive platform that integrates data from `Internet of Things’ (IoT) devices to offer real-time farm analytics,” as stated in the project handout. “It enables farmers and agricultural managers to monitor soil health, environmental conditions, and durian crop development, facilitating data-driven decision-making.
INDAI (INspection of Durian using AI) is an artificial intelligence-powered application designed to perform non-invasive inspection and evaluation of durian maturity and quality. Using computer vision and smart analysis, INDAI enhances postharvest accuracy and supports quality assurance protocols.
DuDONG (Durian Desktop Operated Non-invasive Grading System) is a user-friendly desktop application for non-invasive inspection and evaluation of durian maturity and quality. It bridges the gap between farmers and digital platforms by simplifying the collection and management of on-ground information.”
