BELIZE CITY, BELIZE — Dimitra Incorporated, a global Agtech company on a mission to make its technologies available to smallholder farmers globally, is thrilled to work with SwissContact Bolivia, a non-profit organization promoting inclusive economic, social and ecological development.

SwissContact is employing Dimitra’s technologies to help improve Bolivia’s Inclusive Market Project. And accelerate farmers’ sustainable development in environmental, economic, and social factors. Dimitra will make its application available. Including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and satellite images for farmers already served by projects carried out by SwissContact in Bolivia.

SwissContact has been executing projects in Bolivia since 1988 and knows the reality and needs of Bolivian farmers. Bolivia ranks last among neighboring countries regarding agricultural yields, diversification, or production value. As a result, agriculture has fallen into a severe crisis in the East and the West. Together, Dimitra and SwissContact will combat this by implementing technology in more crops. And finding a long-term method to finance the project.

Dimitra will aid SwissContact in influencing the intensification of agroecological agriculture. The use and conscious consumption of resources and products, and the social inclusion of the vulnerable population of agri-food systems.

BELIZE CITY, BELIZE — Dimitra Incorporated, a global Agtech company on a mission to make its technology available to smallholder farmers globally, is happy to announce its working with the Government of the State of Oruro, a public entity responsible for planning and executing programs and projects at the department of Oruro, Bolívia.

The Government of Oruro will be implementing Dimitra’s advanced technology to help develop the state’s agriculture. To improve production in terms of volume, productivity, and quality to achieve competitiveness in the market. Another goal of working together is to increase income for the farmers. And enable new learning opportunities pertaining to the production and management of their lands.

Dimitra and the Government of Oruro are building projects. And applying for international funds to help deploy Dimitra’s Connected Farmer Platform to all farmers in Oruro. AI and machine learning (ML) will be utilized as powerful tools to provide remote technical assistance to the farmers. And, in doing so, help them better understand their land. Traceability, pest control, and compliance with phytosanitary measures are also on the agenda for the farmers of Oruro.

Subheading

There are hundreds of communities in Oruro dedicated to agricultural activities, mainly roots and tubers, and raising sheep, cattle, and llamas. In this order, the crops with the highest production are quinoa, alfalfa, and potato. In the department of Oruro, livestock farming is a fundamental activity for the population due to the existing climatic restrictions. And the low degree of integration into the economy and market exchange.

The governor, Dr. Vedia, mentions that one of the premises of his Government is to grant better conditions to farmers in addition to medium and small farmers of the different municipalities, a slogan that is strengthened with this type of inter-institutional agreement. By deploying Dimitra’s technologies, together. Dimitra and the Government of Oruro will strengthen the economic, social, and cultural development of farmers.

Subheading – Farmers in Bolivia

Armando, Dimitra’s Bolivian Sale Partner states, “the agreement signed with the Government of Oruro — Bolivia is of utmost importance for the agriculture of this region, particularly for the quinoa sector. Making information necessary for the soil preparation and improved agricultural practices will enhance performance greatly. With the technology that Dimitra offers, the farmers will be able to improve the productivity and economics of regional agriculture. We will also be supporting product development and soil care and avoiding and adapting to impacts due to climate change”.

“Working with the Department of Oruro allows us to help thousands of small farmers, bringing access to Dimitra’s technology through cooperation with the Government of Oruro,” says Diego Costa, Dimitra’s Latam Director.

Dimitra is a global Agtech company with a mission to help smallholder farmers across the world. Dimitra works with governments, farming cooperatives, ag corps, NGOs, and for-profit organizations. Through our data-driven approach, Dimitra helps farmers increase yield, reduce expenses, and mitigate risk. Dimitra believes that every smallholder farmer should, benefit from simple, beautiful, and useful technology regardless of economic standing.

The State Government of Oruro is an autonomous public entity with the mission to promote, stimulate.

Supplying the sectors, through the execution of projects and programs in a timely, efficient, equitable and quality manner according to competencies determined by law with the efficient and transparent use of public resources in partnership with private initiative, facilitating new production processes.

Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), which is proportional to the soil organic matter content of soil, is important for ensuring sustainable agriculture. SOC impacts crops by improving the chemical, biological, and physical properties of soil, as well as its structural stability and water-holding capacity.

At Dimitra we are developing innovative methods for calculating SOC using satellite data. As determining SOC is essential for farming efficiently and in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way.

For the past several years, various techniques for soil organic content monitoring, and soil organic matter prediction models (e.g. based on satellite hyperspectral data), have been used to calculate soil health and fast-track remediation efforts so farmers may maximize crop yield. Current methods rely on outdated data and approaches.

At Dimitra, we’re always interested in what’s possible, including how to get the world’s best technology into the hands of farmers worldwide. Our latest breakthrough in measuring soil organic content with satellites is proving to be a fresh horizon of possibilities, and here’s what it’s all about.

Dimitra is built on innovation, and fueled by our token, $DMTR. Check out how we’re using the latest technology to improve the lives of farmers around the world.

Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy is a proven science that refers to the study of the absorption and emission of light and other radiation. In agriculture, a spectrometer can be used to capture the reflectance of a wide range of electromagnetic (light) waves from the soil surface. The spectrometer is first calibrated by correlating the reflectance from a soil surface of known soil properties. Including SOC, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. Once calibrated, the spectrometer can be used to measure the soil properties of other similar farms.

This technique for monitoring the soil properties can be used in three ways:

1. On the ground, with ground-based spectrometers mounted on backpacks, motorcycles, etc.
2. In the air with spectrometers mounted on drones and airplanes
3. In space by using spectrometers mounted on satellites

Dimitra’s latest efforts leverage spectrometry with satellite data. We chose this approach because it allows vast land coverage and is both efficient and affordable. Analyses from this data can help small farmers around the world how to best use and/or correct their soils.

A Challenge to Spectroscopy for SOC

Unfortunately, there is basically one satellite that has adequate sensors for using traditional spectroscopy. This satellite, known as Hyperion, is no longer in service.

The team at Dimitra has worked out a way to use the data from the many other satellites. Which is a good start. However, unlike Hyperion, these satellites do not detect a very broad. And continuous range of electromagnetic waves to determine the soil properties.

To overcome that challenge, Dimitra has developed proprietary methods for using the data from the other satellites. Which only detect discrete bands of wavelengths, to determine the soil properties. This innovation will allow us to help small farmers worldwide in determining their soil properties. And thus manage their soil and agriculture more efficiently.

Dimitra’s Breakthrough in Satellite Technology for SOC

We are now able to use current satellites, with current sensors, to collectively extrapolate and artificially contribute to data about the entirety of the spectrum of electromagnetic waves. This has essentially given us the ability to map soil organic content using fresh, real time data.

There are several reasons this particular approach is important and effective.

First, capturing data across a broad electromagnetic spectrum is vital. The spectral response patterns of different types of matter vary significantly. Knowing the typical spectral response traits of different types of matter makes it possible to determine from a satellite the soil properties of vast regions.

This therefore can help a farmer whose crops are failing for unknown reasons by providing insights on the possible reasons of the poor performance. For instance, spectroscopy provides insight into soil properties. Including organic content, soil moisture content, texture, iron oxide content, soil nutrients content and carbon.

Making those data points visible was the overarching benefit of this approach, but you can already see why timeliness is vital: observing major fluctuations in moisture or minerals, pests or absorption, is only relevant if a farmer knows about it at the time it is happening, and can react accordingly.

There are vast advantages to seeing beyond the visible spectrum. Layering spectral response patterns, viewing them with a color-coded key. And beginning to observe trends and deviations is truly game changing.

Here’s what this game-changing tool looks like for…

…Other Satellite Analytics Features

The beauty of this solution is that it has additional components and benefits to farmers. In addition to determining soil organic content. Our approach of aggregating various data points from various satellites also defines other key parameters for agriculture, including those shown in the images below.

Dimitra Initial Project: Supporting Safflower Production With Satellite Tech in India

To put our innovations to good use, Dimitra will deploy our new tool for determining soil organic content with satellite technology to a large group of farmers in India. In partnership with the OBC Chamber of Agriculture and Commerce. They will planting Safflower on thousands of hectares of land.

Safflower was a choice reviewed by Dimitra, which found that safflower will work well for that specific region and soil. Our goal is never to just increase production (quantity) without increasing value (quality). Safflower is also the right choice for this project because it is a good plant for capturing CO2 from the atmosphere. The carbon credits available to these Indian farmers could be an impactful additional source of income..

To start, the Dimitra team will be on deck in an advisory capacity to help determine the soil organic matter in different regions of the pilot land. In an ongoing role, our team will complement the analysis. By helping farmers on a weekly or even daily basis as we use satellite technology.

As we gather the highest possible quality data on what is occurring in the soil, our technology will pick up and relay all of the right information, providing visibility into factors like humidity, carbon issues, pests, and more. Data-driven insights shed light on problems and irregularities. As well as providing timely alerts to farmers for how to respond to identified problems.

With satellite technology, farmers can learn the best time to plant, the best time to harvest, and monitor the growth of plants through various seasons, determining the soil organic content over time. This will make it clear whether a single farm or even an entire region is improving or degrading, and alert to the need for course-correction before it is too late.

Maximizing Soil Organic Matter… All Around the World

The beautiful thing about this development is that it works anywhere in the world. Farmers in India, farmers in Africa, farmers in Asia: any and everyone can benefit from the application of this satellite technology.

All of us are operating with the dual goals of maximizing yields, quality, and profits as well as maximizing carbon sequestration and minimizing risks. Dimitra’s new satellite technology platform provides an “eye in the sky,” meticulously evaluating the land. And giving smallholder farmers an elevated ability to practice precision farming.

In the face of so many critical global challenges, what is the responsibility of the tech industry? As Silicon Valley titans race to become the primary architects of the metaverse, the physical realities of hunger and climate change continue to linger, a dissonant reminder of technological disparity. Left unaddressed, these issues may start to seem inevitable, but make no mistake — the world hunger crisis is a solvable problem.

Global food scarcity is driven by two primary factors: regional underproduction of food and unequal distribution of resources. Both of these issues are influenced by human institutions and can be improved with appropriate intervention. The AgTech industry is uniquely positioned to address food insecurity by giving rural farmers more equitable access to technologies proven to increase yield and mitigate foreseeable risks.

By encouraging digital adoption of AgTech in rural farms, Dimitra is helping to create a well-fed future through sustainable farm growth. Keep reading to learn how our most pressing global crises are connected and why we must work together to solve them.

Interwoven Crises: Food, Farm and Planet

Food supply, agriculture and environment are intertwined issues, and each affects the others. Unsustainable farming practices increase CO2 emissions, which causes climate change; climate change fuels weather disasters, displacing farmers and creating refugees. Migration creates conflict, deepening resource inequity, including access to food, and so on and so on. These issues are so inseparable that any viable solution must address all three.

Global Food Insecurity

When discussing the drivers of global food insecurity, it can be helpful to categorize them as external or internal contributors. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), external drivers include conflict, migration and climate shocks. Internal factors include low food production, supply chain issues and food waste.

Poor crop management, through insufficient data collection, unsustainable farming practices and more, inhibits food production in rural areas. Food waste resulting from poor storage techniques, losses during transportation and supply chain issues also contributes to food insecurity. Digital adoption of AgTech can provide the resources, education and data needed to produce sustainable crop yields and reduce post-harvest waste.

Unsustainable Farming Practices

Unsustainable farming is another internal driver in low food production, as well as a contributor to external drivers like climate change and conflict. Without the necessary resources to engage in sustainable farming practices, many rural farmers are left to face these compounded crises with little or no recourse.

About 84% of the world’s 570 million farms are smallholdings (farms less than two hectares or five acres). Smallholder farmers produce about a third of the global food supply, yet are among the poorest people in the world. In response to greater competition for resources, changing markets, rising fuel prices and climate change, many smallholders have adopted unsustainable farming practices to the following effects:

• Land degradation, caused by over clearing, poor irrigation, monoculture crop strategies, topsoil erosion
• Groundwater depletion, caused by inefficient irrigation systems
• Soil and water contamination, caused by fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals
• Loss of ecosystem, caused by human encroachment, deforestation and toxic runoff

Unsustainable farming practices further degrade the environment, but many smallholders can’t access the resources needed to adapt. As a result, they are increasingly vulnerable to climate change and its cyclical effects: resource scarcity, conflict, migration, poverty and hunger.

Climate Change

In 2018, agriculture accounted for 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions. This number does not factor in agriculture-related deforestation that limits the planet’s ability to absorb ​​CO2 from the atmosphere, so the true injury is probably more severe. Agriculture pollution contributes to climate change, which damages production in the following ways:

• Water shortages, droughts and floods
• Shifts in planting and harvesting seasons
• Pest- and disease-related crop losses
• Unpredictable weather and extreme temperatures
• Reduced nutritional value (due to higher CO2 levels)

Digital adoption of AgTech in rural areas not only addresses the internal factors that contribute to low crop yields (such as poor crop management, farming and selling practices), but also inevitably impacts external contributors, including climate change. That’s why providing farmers with equitable access to AgTag software is our best chance for ending world hunger and preventing climate catastrophe.

Bridging the Digital Divide in AgTech

Smallholder farming isn’t just another job — it’s one of the most important roles a person can fill. Farmers feed our world, and every smallholder, regardless of economic standing, deserves access to intuitive technologies. At Dimitra, we know that vital AgTech solutions are inaccessible to the majority of rural farmers. We’re going to change that.

AgTech Accessibility

With smartphones, farmers are more capable than ever before of learning new farming techniques, recording progress and communicating with agricultural experts. However, most smallholder farmers cannot afford expensive agriculture software. Economic barriers in AgTech endanger not only small farmers, but the future of the planet.

To improve accessibility, Dimitra is actively working with governments and non-governmental organizations to make the Connected Farmer platform free of charge to smallholder farmers in developing nations. Access to this technology will help farmers break the cycle of poverty, increase crop yields and establish sustainable practices for future generations.

To further improve accessibility, Dimitra is implementing its technologies in a variety of languages, including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Swahili and Somali. For governments looking to partner with Dimitra technologies, we can easily localize the platform with your flag, logo, language and connections to your local systems.

When we promote equitable access to technology, resources and information, we affirm our connection and commitment to one another, and to ourselves.

There is no escaping climate change, even for people in the richest nations in the world. To combat climate change and its agricultural impacts, we have to make technological tools and insights available to farmers around the globe, regardless of economic standing. Join us in this mission by participating in the Dimitra Ecosystem and investing in the DMTR token.

BELIZE CITY, BELIZE — Dimitra Incorporated, a global Agtech company on a mission to make its Dimitra Connected Farmer platform available to smallholder farmers globally, has officially launched Dimitra Livestock Guru. This platform contains specific modules focused on Breeding, Genetics, Feed Management, Livestock traceability, record management, export and performance management. Dimitra Livestock Guru collects information throughout the animal’s life cycle, compares it with data available from similar genetically-mapped animals, and applies Artificial Intelligence (AI) to suggest to farmers the best way to maximize results, avoid diseases, and improve reproductive productivity rates.

The Platform allows farmers to learn about which results each genetic cross will produce in advance. This information can include everything from the best financial benefit in the long term. To which cross could result in calving complications or higher incidence of diseases.

Farmers can access information that alerts them when a cow should be in heat to shorten the calving interval. And when an animal should be removed from the reproductive cycle due to low reproductive or productive efficiency. Dimitra Livestock Guru incorporates all the complex calculations of the most modern genetics technologies and provides farmers with simplified and actionable information.

Governments have the opportunity to have all their productive, reproductive, and health data available in real-time. They can use this data to improve their country’s herd with Artificial Intelligence and help fight hunger and poverty while boosting productivity and increasing GDP. By using Dimitra Livestock Guru, genetics companies will be able to help farmers make the best decisions. Based not only on the price of genetic technologies but also on the farmers’ long-term financial interest.

Dimitra’s Livestock Guru solves the following industry issues:

1. More sustainable breeding through the selection of economically/genetically superior traits
2. Track animals’ lifecycle traceability and secure storage of comprehensive breeding, production, and health records for each animal
3. Improve a breeds genetics by assisting with advanced reproductive planning
4. Reduce livestock disease burden by identifying animals more prone to disease and improve their health and, therefore, the welfare of consumers
5. Reduce animal theft and smuggling and providing evidence for enforcement through DNA identification of cattle
6. Increase revenues, access to international markets, and improve predictability on future profitability

By understanding the effect of external factors, such as weather, climate, water source, environment, and feed on an animal’s health, growth, and performance, Dimitra uses emerging technologies to provide insightful guidance for farmers, governments, and organizations to help increase yield, reduce cost, and mitigate risk.

Dimitra optimizes the selection process for dairy and beef cattle by aligning with breeders and farmers objectives. Breeders and farmers now have the opportunity to make sure their herd’s offspring are healthy and are breeding for important traits, whether economic or health-related.

Breeding objectives can be based on:

• Traits of economic importance
• Customer/market requirements
• Herd production and reproduction targets

Dimitra is a global Agtech company with a mission to help smallholder farmers across the world. Dimitra works with governments, government agencies, NGOs, and for-profit organizations. The Dimitra platform is built on blockchain technology and incorporates mobile technology, machine learning, IoT devices, satellite and drone imagery, genomics, and advanced farming research. Dimitra helps farmers increase yield, reduce cost, and mitigate risk through our data-driven approach. Dimitra believes that every smallholder farmer should benefit from simple, beautiful, and useful technology, regardless of economic standing.

While crypto projects come and go, plenty of dedicated teams are building real-world use cases for blockchain and adjacent technologies. Dimitra is one such project laser-focused on solving some of the world’s biggest challenges. Let’s explore the DMTR token, its utility and the potential for massive global growth of the overall ecosystem.

The Story Behind the Token – Global Growth

If one industry can potentially impact problems with extreme poverty and world hunger, it’s global agri-food. Dimitra tackles these global issues by using the following advanced technologies; blockchain, AI, machine learning, IoT, Sensors, Satellites, and drones to impact worldwide agriculture development.

Working alongside global governments, farmer associations, NGOs, and development banks, the team is developing smart farming solutions designed to enhance food security through sustainable agriculture. The customizable farmer-first platform focuses on delivering agricultural technology to smallholder farmers across the globe.

Why smallholder farmers? With around 570 million smallholder farmers creating 70% of the world’s produce, focusing here is the best way to accelerate Dimitra’s mission to grow economies worldwide.

A Purpose-Driven Ecosystem

Dimitra is a comprehensive suite of technologies built to help smallholder farmers grow. Through the Connected Farmer mobile app, an integral part of the ecosystem, farmers can have:

• A single digital record of farm operations
• Data to make on-farm decisions to increase productivity, profitability, and resilience
• The tools to increase yield, reduce costs, and mitigate risks
• Access to a vibrant marketplace to buy and sell products

Why is this important? By 2050, the global agri-food industry will need to feed 9.7 billion hungry mouths. With smallholder farmers usually having lots smaller than 2 hectares, the need for automation and technology to improve yields is essential.

With an estimated value of over $8.5 trillion, the agri-food industry is an environment ripe with advances and technological evolution. Unfortunately, those advances rarely make it to the 500 million smallholder farmers who need it most.

The Dimitra ecosystem empowers those smallholder farmers. The goal is to build an inclusive system that helps farmers collaborate globally. Dimitra helps accelerate the rate of technological adoption, create robust communities in the areas that need them most, and give opportunities to farmers who in the past have been all but forgotten.

Smallholder farmers unknowingly carry the burden of solving many of the world’s problems. Dimitra helps them connect with tools to improve yields, reduce costs, and mitigate risk with the mission to tackle the following global issues:

• Climate change
• Reducing world hunger
• Improving food safety and security
• Alleviating poverty
• Reducing desertification and soil erosion
• Reducing deforestation

DMTR — A Utility Token for Global Change

With a unique mixture of emerging technologies, Dimitra is like nothing you’ve seen before. Even with its powerful use case, many people are curious about how it all works. What part does the DMTR token play in the overall ecosystem, and what’s the value of owning DMTR?

DMTR is an ERC-20 based token launched on the Ethereum network. Put simply, DMTR is the backbone of the entire Dimitra ecosystem. It helps catalyze action in the proprietary Connected Farmer mobile app and, in turn, creates value for smallholder farmers.

Using the Connected Farmer app, a user can:

• Register and manage livestock
• Register and manage crops
• Connect with the marketplace
• Add other forms of data (sensors, drone reading, etc.)

For all these actions, a farmer receives Dimitra Points through the Farmer Points Program. So, essentially for doing their everyday work and adding some modern reporting practices, farmers earn a valuable asset — in this case, Dimitra Points.

Now, what can a farmer do with these Dimitra points? Well, here’s where things get interesting. With Dimitra Points, farmers can:

• Swap to DMTR
• Buy agriculture-specific services
• Use DMTR to swap into another cryptocurrency
• Use a local fiat offramp
• Engage with the Micro Loan Program

Those agricultural services offered through the Connected Farmer platform allow users to increase yields, optimize efficiency, and modernize. A farmer could purchase a drone service for targeted pesticide treatment or buy sensors for soil monitoring, all with DMTR. This is giving farmers who would normally not have access to this kind of tech a front-row seat to current offerings of the global ag-tech industry.

Subheading

Additionally, these transactions create a ripple effect throughout the ecosystem. An ag-service provider isn’t offering a one-to-one trade using DMTR. Instead, a margin is put on services and goods provided through the Farmer Points Program. While these margins on certain transactions are dependent on the service provider, the overall effect is to create value within the DMTR ecosystem.

If a farmer is short on DMTR to purchase a service from an ag-provider, they have the option of purchasing DMTR with fiat to make up the difference. This is another factor that will help push demand for DMTR.

Dimitra intends for its agricultural network to extend across the globe. You can imagine the amount of activity the ecosystem would see with millions of farmers and other users interacting and using DMTR. This not only helps farmers, but it helps add value to the token economy.

On the other side of this transaction are the governments, universities, and agribusiness partners who use the anonymous aggregated data generated through the platform. In return, they offer their services and products through the Marketplace. It’s a win-win.

Dimitra has partnered with Ocean Protocol to facilitate data set sales through the Ocean Marketplace. The revenue created here moves through a distribution channel — giving profits to farmers and other partners while injecting further value into the ecosystem.

As farmers feed more data into the system, services will improve. As demand grows, the system will incentivize farmers to earn or buy more tokens to access advanced services. All of this plays into the overall supply and demand mechanics of DMTR with the goal of increasing value for farmers and everyday token holders.

Why This Matters for Token Holders

It’s easy to get lost in a sea of good deeds. At the end of the day, though, Dimitra is more than just helping develop the world’s first international agriculture network built on the block chain; it’s also about providing value to everyday token holders.

With economic and deflationary mechanisms built right into the token economy, holders see stability and growth when users interact with the ecosystem.

These mechanisms include:

• Staking — Rewarding long-term investors for supporting the project with a healthy 13% APY.
• Farmer Points Program — Farmers receive points, swap to DMTR, then spend on agri services or products, further adding value to the ecosystem.
• Data exchange — The partnership with Ocean creates revenue that injects further value into the ecosystem.
• Agri-service demand — Service and goods providers receive DMTR.
• Agri-finance demand — Development banks and aid organizations provide funding through the platform and associated services.
• Government ministry involvement — Government entities will further incentivize farmers to participate, resulting in more activity for the ecosystem and more demand.
• Investment leverage with finance providers — As Dimitra invests in projects, they will find other investment partners. This multiplies the project-based investment dollars.
• Consumption incentives — With discounts on goods and services, farmers are at an advantage buying and using DMTR through the marketplace.
• Price mechanisms — With open appreciation and relatively fixed service pricing, a multiplier effect allows farmers to spend more as they become more successful.
• Software developer demand — Developers create new modules that farmers can then engage with and use.

Last subheading

All these mechanisms exist to keep the ecosystem stable and grow value for everyone involved, from farmers to everyday holders. With 18 million contracted farmers and many more on the way, the ecosystem is already working and creating this value.

Each activity that takes place, whether it’s on the farmer side or from other ecosystem partners, helps drive demand for DMTR. This demand has a positive impact on token price. While the goal is to empower farmers through this platform, don’t let the mission detract from the potential for growth that DMTR has ahead.

Why it All Matters — Thinking Locally, Advancing Globally

There are 608 million family farms around the world, representing almost 3 billion people, occupying between 70 and 80 percent of the world’s farmland and producing around 80 percent of the world’s food.

Dimitra and the overall ecosystem have the potential to impact a considerable majority of these farms. By 2025, Dimitra aims to have a user base of over 100 million. As of 2021, the global number of crypto users broke 300 million. Given the powerful mission behind DMTR, the project could be as much as a third of the entire crypto user base in the near future.

Buying DMTR actually means you are making a real difference in the world with your investment. Purchases directly translate into getting the latest and greatest agricultural technology into farmers’ hands.

Dimitra already has 18 million farmers contracted into the ecosystem — a huge number considering the current stage of growth of the project. Unlike other projects that take five years to reach adoption, this platform is already working. If the future of crypto lies in real-world utility and massive adoption, DMTR is already ticking those boxes.

Moreover, Dimitra isn’t creating meme-friendly dog money; they’re creating a massive global network of agricultural development. Not only does DMTR empower financial and technological advances for smallholder farmers, but through their ecosystem grants and other features, they also help improve local governmental bodies, NGOs and the global agri-food industry as a whole.

The growth potential is astounding. Not only for farmers and their respective countries but for everyone involved with DMTR. It’s not only a token for change; it’s a utility token that powers a massive global agricultural movement.

BELIZE CITY, BELIZE — Dimitra Incorporated, a global Agtech company on a mission to make its Dimitra Connected Farmer platform available to smallholder farmers globally, is working together with The National Federation of Panela Producers to help them achieve the modernization and sustainability of the sector.

The National Federation of Panela Producers, also known as Fedepanela, represents the entire Panela sector in Colombia. And knows the reality and needs of the sector, as it has been working for more than 45 years to develop the sector and empower the farmers.

What is Panela?

Panela (also known as Rapadura or Brown Sugar) is made from sugar cane. Panela sugar is an unrefined non-centrifugal sugar derived from sugar cane juice. And is characterized by its caramel-like colour and high molasses content. This sugar industry is comprised of mostly smallholder farmers. After coffee, the panela sector is the second largest agroindustry in social importance in Colombia. Operated by more than 350,000 families. The sector is present in 29 of the 32 states and more than 50% of the Cities in Colombia. It has a planted area of 206,479Ha, more than 75,000 farms, generating more than 377,805 jobs per year. The country supplies 10% of the world’s production of panela!

Dimitra will provide knowledge and technology to help revolutionize the Colombian Panela sector. Through the use of Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Machine Learning, Drones and Satellite Images. Dimitra seeks to help farmers produce better quality yields with less cost and greater productive predictability.

Together, Fedepanela and Dimitra will deliver cutting-edge technologies and data-driven insights to farmers. Allowing them access to information and guidelines that help improve their profitability in an increasingly sustainable way through Dimitra’s application.

The first step of working together will involve conducting a field test in the next few months. Since Panela is a product with a high social impact in Colombia, this partnership is expected to greatly reduce poverty, fight hunger in Colombia and other countries, and contribute to the increased Colombian GDP.

Fernando Mahecha Aguilera, Dimitra’s Colombian Sales Partner, says, “Signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Fedepanela and Dimitra Technology, represents Colombia’s entry into the use of agrotechnological techniques that will bring our agriculture, livestock, and fish farming to precision levels, raising the production, reducing costs and mitigating risks, achieving a quantum leap thanks to the democratization of knowledge in the rural sector for small and medium growers, which will provide them with better standards of living by taking them by the hand and directly to the agro-industrialization of its products, putting them in contact with international markets. Our “Connected Farmer” application is this and much more for our society and the rural world.”

The National Federation of Panela Producers of Colombia — Fedepanela, says, “We have decided to sign a Memorandum of understanding with Dimitra Technology because it is the best alternative that allows us to innovate in the sector, which enables us to enhance the productive and sustainable development of our producers.”

Dimitra Incorporated, a company on a mission to make its Dimitra Connected Farmer platform available to small holder farmers globally. Is excited to be working with Solok Radjo Cooperative, a Coffee Cooperative and farming community based in West Sumatra, Indonesia.

Solok Radjo and Dimitra have signed an agreement to develop a solution. Accelerating the growth and profitability of Solok’s coffee to premium export markets. Demand for traceability and provenance in today’s coffee industry requires that the solution manages all areas of the extended supply chain — farming, collection, processing, and exporting.

Solok Radjo’s sustainability strategy has seen the development of an integrated agricultural ecosystem. As well as agroforestry, this ecosystem incorporates cattle as a source of dietary protein, domestic income generation, and fertilizer byproducts that are then spread on the coffee plantation.

By leveraging the power of the Dimitra ‘Connected Farmer’ application and dash board, vital information will be collected and added to the Dimitra block chain to provide immutable records of events for the traceability of Solok Radjo coffee for export to the United States, Australia, and Europe.

Dimitra brings a simple to use platform for the farmers and cooperative management. It is simple to use for them but a hugely powerful back end that will use Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial intelligence (AI) to pull insights from tracked activities in the field. As well as generating the export documentation required to ship to end customers.

Solok Radjo Cooperative is a progressive social farming enterprise using environmentally friendly farm practices to nurture the land under crop. The cooperative motivates farmers to optimize the yields of their land. Farmers should be able to gain benefits from coffee farming while the cooperative process and market the coffee fruits. In addition, cattle are included in the eco system for human protein. Sales to domestic markets for diversified income and the manure is used on the plantations to boost soil health. Solok Radjo has 3300 farmers within the network of the cooperative and is looking to double their farmers in the next two years.

Dimitra’s Indonesia Country Partner, Ricky Tanudibrata, said, “The Solok Radjo cooperative is an exciting opportunity to prove the effectiveness of the Dimitra Connected Farmer solution in Indonesia. This will open opportunities across Sumatra and Indonesia, which are enormous.”

‘Partnering with Dimitra is important for Solok Radjo to realize an integrated, data based, sustainable coffee. We are greatly looking forward to working with Dimitra’s Connected Farmer platform to provide a more structured approach to our production and to allow us to meet the requirements of our export partners while helping the environment and the lives of our cooperative community,” said Head of Solok Radjo project, Alfadriansyah (Adi).

Solok Radjo Cooperative is a network of 3300 members producing coffee for domestic and export markets. The cooperative’s point of difference is their focus on agriculture and re forestry throughout the coffee growing activities. Protecting coffee plots with shade trees provides a buffer for soil erosion and prolongs the coffee cherry window. Solok Radjo — “coffee for the people and the earth.”
