How integrated data can transform your supply chain
Proagrica leads the way for use of data insight to drive profitability and efficiency for a changing industry
Integrated data systems are set to increase insight and transparency to meet the growing challenges faced by modern agriculture. Global food demand is projected to double by 2050, with farmers and agricultural suppliers increasingly under pressure to do more with less. Sharing data to deliver improved productivity and increase efficiency across farmings’ supply chains is the next major
Key advantages of data integration:
Smart spraying technology: Farmers can adapt their operations accounting for inter and intra-field variability in crops, applied in a multitude of dose rates and tank mixes within a single field.
Intelligent pest control: Automated pest count and pest pressure notifications which can be visually inspected remotely via a dashboard, controlling pest populations in real-time via a proactive and environmentally friendly system.
Real-time insights: Advanced analytics that take account of emerging weather events or disease outbreaks, delivering real-time insights clearly and concisely to enable effective decision-making.
Imagery processing for yield determination: Analysing images in comparison with historical data results in detailed insights on crop health and relative productivity, which can then be combined with expert knowledge and supplementary data to deliver accurate yield forecasts and strengthen sales position.
Making data work harder
As the benefits of increased insight grow clear, more agri companies are moving to integrated data solutions for greater supply chain development. One of the world’s largest agribusiness companies - servicing over 100,000 farmers and working with over 400 agronomists - found the data from its three different information systems to be unconnected and ultimately providing little real insight that translated into productivity or profitability gains. The lack of a centralized system made it impossible to determine which processes were viable and which weren’t, and which were creating the most benefits for all involved. Proagrica restructured the data system into a connected resource from which informed decisions could be made.
The business can now evaluate its operations and systems to improve its efficiency. Flaws in the operation are visible and non- profitable activities are easily identified. Customer relations have dramatically improved with farmers, who are now experiencing fast, seamless electronic transactions, instant ordering, improved product availability and servicing from their agronomists. Increased insight reveals the best performing products, and in what quantities, improving stock management and resulting availability to customers. Farm management processes, such as variable spray rates for fertilizer, are also able to integrate satellite imaging providing farmers with tailored in field, in season data to deliver maximum yield and productivity.
Strengthening supply chain relationships: Creating real-time crop information enables farmers to work more closely with suppliers and markets enabling stronger relations to be built, creating mutual benefits.
step forward for the industry and an opportunity for farmers to create direct benefits on farm as well as helping to strengthen relationships within their preferred business networks. Proagrica, with a track record in both agriculture and data is in a unique position to help the sector take advantage of this revolution.
