Who is DOST Agriculture Investments?
DOST Agriculture Investments is a pioneer in building and operating large-scale, AI-run autonomous farms. We integrate proprietary robotics, Edge AI computing, advanced genetics, precision greenhouse agronomy, and clean-label food processing into a single, self-optimizing ecosystem.
Is DOST just a tech vendor or a farm operator?
We are both. We don’t just engineer agricultural hardware and AI models—we operate commercial farms, high-tech greenhouses, and advanced livestock genetics and breeding programs at scale. Every technology we deploy is tested and proven inside our own commercial operations first.
What does DOST do?
We rebuild agriculture from the ground up by deploying turnkey autonomous AI farm systems, producing high-yield tropical crops, developing high-genomic-merit livestock through genomic selection and advanced reproductive technologies such as OPU-IVF, embryo transfer, and sexed semen, manufacturing clean-label food products, and operating transparent live livestock trading marketplaces.
Why does DOST Exist?
Global agriculture faces severe threats from climate volatility, water scarcity, shrinking arable land, and critical labor shortages. We build autonomous, zero-labor, and zero-waste farming architectures to guarantee food security, elevate animal welfare, and restore agricultural self-sufficiency for future generations.
How to join DOST’s team or ecosystem?
You can explore open career positions through our Human Resources portal or join our student internship, living lab, and New Age Farmers programs managed under the TÜME foundation.
What are DOST’s technologies?
Our proprietary tech stack includes Autonomous Milking Robots, Patrol Overhead AI Camera Networks, Greenhouse Computer Vision, Autonomous Banana Harvesters, Modular LiDAR AGVs, Smart LoRaWAN Smart Collars, precision feeding/weighing systems, and FACS AI-assisted cell sorting infrastructure
Does your AI autonomous farm require continuous internet connectivity to operate?
No. All DOST systems run on local Edge AI micro-nodes located directly on the farm. The computer vision arrays, milking stalls, and autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) process data locally, allowing 24/7 uninterrupted operation even in remote areas without internet or cellular connectivity.
What happens if there is a power outage on an autonomous farm?
DOST turnkey farm designs integrate redundant power systems, including on-site solar photovoltaic (GES) generation and automated generator backups, ensuring continuous operation for all Edge AI micro-nodes and robotic stalls.
Can DOST build an autonomous farm on my land?
Yes. Through DOST Consultancy, we deliver complete turnkey projects—handling feasibility studies, architectural planning, greenhouse/barn construction, robotic equipment installation, Edge AI configuration, and staff training.
