Internet of things system through message queue telemetry tracking protocol for modernizing red chili agriculture

The rate of food imports of the country continues to show an increase from year to year especially red chilies. Malaysians still spend most of their income on food. At the same time, domestic food production for certain foods continues to decline. This situation in turn will lead to the problem of l...
