Development and application of digital agriculture technologies
The project aims to create, develop and apply digital agriculture technologies in Belarus and distribute them to neighboring countries, focusing on agri-robots and internet-enabled precision agriculture tools (telemetry, GIS, differentiated fertilization, IoT platforms/apps).
DescriptionOverview of the initiative and its approach.
The project aims to create, develop and apply digital agriculture technologies in Belarus and distribute them to neighboring countries, focusing on agri-robots and internet-enabled precision agriculture tools (telemetry, GIS, differentiated fertilization, IoT platforms/apps).
TechnologyTechnology used by the initiative.
The project takes a portfolio approach, focusing on crop mapping systems, telemetry systems, GIS, differentiated fertilizer application tech (sampling + analysis + field maps + machine tasks), agricultural robots (incl. drones/self-driving vehicles and automated dairy farm management), and IoT platforms/apps with sensors and communication channels.
TargetUsers, groups, or communities targeted by the initiative.
The project serves a broad range of agricultural producers from smallholders to large agro-industrial complexes. It also benefits research institutions developing locally adapted digital farming tools and government agencies coordinating national agricultural modernization.
Business modelHow the initiative delivers and sustains its value.
The initiative is funded through the state budget and implemented by government and research institutions.
ImpactThe observed or intended effects of the initiative.
The project accelerates the adoption of digital technologies in Belarusian agriculture, building domestic capacity in precision farming, remote sensing, and digital farm management while reducing dependency on imported agritech solutions.
PartnersOrganizations and stakeholders involved in the initiative.
Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Belarus; National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Belarus (talent/source of specialists); High-Tech Park (possible preferential regime / ecosystem); “Gorki” Tech Park (talent/source of specialists); “Great Stone” Industrial Park (possible preferential regime); Belarusian Innovation Fund / State Committee for Science and Technology (possible partial financing); Ministry of Industry enterprises (possible production support)
