  • Publication number: 20230112842
    Abstract: A harvesting supply chain logistics system for coordinating the harvest and transport of crops from multiple food producers. The system receives first crop data of a first crop grown at a first location by a first food producer. The system predicts a first harvesting time and a first harvesting amount of the first crop. The system receives second crop data of a second crop grown at a second location by a second food producer. The system predicts a second harvesting time and a second harvesting amount of the second crop. The system determines whether a transport for the first crop and the second crop can be combined based on the first harvesting time, first harvesting amount, the second harvesting time, and the second harvesting amount. The system schedules a combine transport of the first crop and the second crop when the first crop and the second crop can be combined.
