Precise farming & process automation

Currently we are focused on:
1.    Automated and automatic agronomical, recording and accounting processes
2.    Fields digitalising (including identification of non-cultivable lands) by drones and autopilot systems
3.    Differentiated introduction of fertilisers, seeds, plant protectors
4.    Yield mapping
5.    Autopilot, parallel driving
6.    Targeted application, weather station and machine sensor readings integration into the Ecosystem

Grain drying facility with a grain & seed processing plant in Senno

Зернокомплекс.jpgUnder construction. Commissioning scheduled for July 2022.

SPECIFICATIONS:

- Rated capacity, annual output:
Tonnage:
Grain dryer – 3,000 tons
5 × 3000-ton quonset huts – 15,000 tons
- Personnel – 15
- Occupied area – 4.3 ha

Minimum capacity:
Grain dryer – 60 t/hour
Seed processing facility – 10 t/hour

 

PROJECT GOALS: improved performance (annual output of 15 thousand tons of cereal seeds (6 thousand tons of winter crops and 9 thousand tons of spring crops) and 2 thousand tons of grass seeds), import substitution, export, providing services to regional agricultural companies.
According to Decree No. 28 of 13.05.2021 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Belarus, the Project is a listed perspective and important investment project scheduled under Agricultural Business governmental programme for 2021-2025.

 

Marketing strategy

Our marketing strategy includes:
1.    In-depth development of the existing customer relations
2.    Export-oriented seed production of cereals and leguminous crops (SaatBau, KWS, Rapool, etc.)
3.    Grass seeds export to the EU
4.    Cooperation with international agrochemical companies (BASF, Yara, Bayer, Syngenta, IKAR, etc.)
5.    Use of proper machinery to provide agriculture-related services

Agricultural technology

1.    Continuous efforts to improve land fertility through ensuring the optimum soil chemistry and other systemic activities intended to effectively improve fertility.
2.    Introduction of macro- and microfertilisers in the full required amount on a regular and timely basis so as to not only increase yield, but improve nutritional properties and, respectively, rise the sale price of the cultivated crops.
At least 280 kg of mineral fertilisers (equivalent to 100% of nutrients) are introduced per 1 ha.
3.    Use of newest high-yield seed varietys by recognised global vendors (Saatbau, Bayer, KWS, Rapool, etc.), regular testing of new varietys to select the best adapted options for the available lands.
4.    Cooperation with international agrochemical companies (BASF, Yara, Bayer, Syngenta, IKAR, etc.) in the field of application of plant protectors and other chemicals, which increases yield from 20 to 50 per cent.
