Making a difference: The power of AgriTech and blockchain in the fight for the planet’s future

Dimitra Making a difference – Since it’s inception, block chain technology has found diversified and valuable applications to help boost efficiency and incentivize community participation in different areas and industries.

Farming is a sector that can benefit from comprehensive block chain technology solutions. Specifically when it comes to assembling actionable data. And making it work to improve small businesses’ operation across several financial and sustainability metrics.

Dimitra Making a difference

By 2050, it is estimated that 10 billion people will inhabit the earth. And agricultural development will be a powerful mechanism to end extreme poverty, facilitate shared prosperity and feel the overall global population. The global agri-food industry is worth an estimated $8.5 trillion. And urgently needs technological innovation if it aims to achieve such targets.

Farmers across G20 nations have access to technology that helps them create profitable businesses. And provide millions of people with sustainable and good quality food. Such circumstances contrast with emerging countries’ small farmers that struggle to flourish and produce enough food for their families. Such a gap must be reduced and eventually closed if the global target is to accommodate and sustainably feed 10 billion people.

Blockchain in action – Dimitra Making a difference

Blockchain and many other emerging technologies could contribute enormously to farmers worldwide in tackling rising costs of supplies, labor shortages, and consumers’ rising expectations for transparency and sustainability.

Dimitra Incorporated is a global AgTech company and an AgriFi solution provider. Both tools aim to unlock, accelerate, and leverage investments in developing countries, focusing on smallholder inclusiveness and agri-business MSMEs.

Its platform integrates advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, blockchains, satellites, drones and IoT sensors. Providing farmers with actionable data that helps them increase yield, reduce costs, and mitigate risks. Dimitra Making a difference

Connecting Indonesian Coffee to the World

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.

Subheading – Indonesian Coffee Dimitra

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.

Indonesian Coffee Dimitra

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).

Dimitra is a global Agtech company with a mission to help small holder farmers across the world. Dimitra works with governments, government agencies, NGOs, and for profit organizations. Through our data driven approach, Dimitra helps farmers increase yields, reduces expenses, and mitigates risk. Dimitra believes that every small holder farmer should benefit from simple, beautiful, and useful technology regardless of standing.

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.”
