Agriculture as a National Asset
PROBLEM / CHALLENGE South African agriculture operates under relentless pressure — from rural safety threats and volatile trade dynamics to climate shocks and deteriorating water infrastructure. Farmers juggle multiple risks daily, but critical intelligence remained fragmented. AgriSA, representing 32,000 farmers, faced a fractured ecosystem: - Data collected manually from scattered, unverified sources - No unified system to integrate agricultural, market, and financial data - Siloed information preventing comprehensive analysis - No geospatial insight to tailor local interventions This lack of timely, reliable intelligence leaves farmers vulnerable to missed opportunities, slower crisis responses, and heightened risk exposure.
THE SOLUTION Reisiger partnered with AgriSA to build a scalable, real-time data aggregation and intelligence platform. The system transforms disparate data into actionable insights, providing early warnings, risk alerts, and decision support for farmers, industry leaders, and policymakers. By combining automation, predictive analytics, and cloud-native infrastructure, the platform not only elevates agriculture as a strategic national asset but also positions AgriSA as a trusted authority and policy influencer across the value chain.
