Abstract:
    Our country needs development in the Agriculture industry. We pledge on bringing that change by innovating the corn picking process. The development of a mounted corn picker has not been achieved yet in Pakistan. This indigenous idea will reduce corn loss on a large scale resulting in better yield which will boost our country's economy.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    Providing an economical, reliable, and efficient method to harvest one of the largest Kharif crops of Pakistan
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?
   Our main target will be farmers belonging to normal backgrounds having average resources. This product will benefit farmers as corn is the primary ingredient for most of the food industry products, it is also used in the feeds of livestock.
How will the solution works
    Our product corn picker is an assembly that can be mounted to any model of tractor and will efficiently pick corn from the fields with minimum losses. The heart of the corn picker is a snapping unit that comprises two rollers rotating in opposite directions applying the pulling force on the corn stalk to detach the corn ear from it. The plate helps the roller to detach the corn while allowing the stem to pass and stopping the corn ear.
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different
    Our competitors are manufacturers all around the world who sell full-fledged corn harvesters to big farmers in Pakistan. Our idea not only decreases the price of machinery but also provides maintenance services.
