Rapid in-field kava testing supports Pacific Island economies

Sagitto is proud to have helped its customer Kavalytics to develop an exciting new way for Pacific Islands growers, merchants, and exporters of kava to implement quality control and traceability through the kava value chain.
The innovative Kavalytics system, using Sagitto's spectrometer and machine learning models developed for Kavalytics, is playing an essential role in supporting the growth of the South Pacific kava industry and the local economies that depend on sellng kava for a fair price. Now kava producers in Vanuatu, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Tonga, Micronesia, Solomon Islands, and Hawaii are able to receive fair value for their product, based objective scientific measurement of chemotype, kavalactones, and flavokavains.

KavaLytics™ is the result of listening to the quality control and traceability needs of kava industry stakeholders at all levels of the value chain in 7 kava producing regions.

The New Standard in Kava Testing

Based upon industry feedback, KavaLytics™ proudly partnered with the data science experts at Sagitto in Hamilton New Zealand, to build a machine-learning platform that was trained on over 500 analyses of kava performed by a highly credentialed ISO-17025 analytical lab with vast experience in kava analysis. The result is the most technologically advanced, comprehensive and robust kava analysis system ever built. Thanks to machine learning, the method continues to learn from each new kava sample it is given and will always be at the forefront of fast, affordable, and accurate kava analysis.

"As an early adopter of this technology for use in Fiji, it has dovetailed very well with our quality control approach. Kavalytics has taken our Kava business to whole new level and provides immediate data feedback to enable us to find good beverage-grade kava. "
