DescriptionOverview of the initiative and its approach.
Agmeteo is an online agro-meteorological app available in the Republic of Moldova. Data, collected from on-site sensors are delivered to the Agrobiznes Meteo app continuously thanks to the Agrobiznes partnership with iMetos, ensuring that farmers are kept up-to-date with evolving weather information.
TechnologyTechnology used by the initiative.
The Agrobiznes Meteo application makes use of data provided by dozens of weather stations located throughout the country, providing producers with real-time information on soil and air temperatures, soil moisture, precipitation levels, and pest and disease risks. Farmers are thus kept informed of the status of their agricultural fields, supporting their decisions on when interventions or treatments are necessary.
TargetUsers, groups, or communities targeted by the initiative.
Small-medium and large size farmers can use the agrometeorological app to receive precise longitudinal and up-to-date data about weather conditions.
Business modelHow the initiative delivers and sustains its value.
The Agrobiznes Meteo app, developed by Agrobiznes and iMetos in partnership with maib (a leading bank in the Republic of Moldova), offers its online app free of charge, allowing anyone to access it without user registration.
ImpactThe observed or intended effects of the initiative.
While many weather websites exist, Agrobiznes Meteo draws data from a network of onsite sensors spread across the country, thus reducing potential information asymmetries and confusion for farmers, and providing them with accurate data on agrometeorological conditions.
