Agriculture as a National Asset
THE PROBLEM Agriculture in South Africa faces numerous challenges on a daily bases. From rural safety to shifting trade dynamics, climate exposure and failing water infrastructure - farmers need to contest with an unending list of competing priorities, risk variables and environmental challenges every single day. AgriSA, the national industry body representing 32 000 farmers in South Africa, approached Reisiger to create and champion several data-driven initiative to add real value and insights to farmers including cross-sector intelligence that could guide strategic decision making and empower farmers on the ground. But they were trapped in a fractured ecosystem: - Manual, error-prone and unverified data collection from scattered sources - No integrated system or platform to correlate agricultural, market, and financial data - Siloed information that hindered comprehensive analysis - Lack of geospatial capability to provide location-specific recommendations In high-stakes sectors like agriculture, delayed or incomplete intelligence meant not only missed opportunities, but increased risk and slower responses to market and environmental changes.
THE SOLUTION Reisiger designed an innovative, scalable, real-time data aggregation and intelligence platform that can not only retrieve high-impact data, but develop and mature it across industries. A data-driven solution that can provide early alerts and warning, aggregate critical data and deliver tangible outputs and insights to farmers and decision-makers alike - elevating agriculture as a national asset, empowering AgriSA as a leading organization and policy influencer, and establish a beacon for trust and reliability to stakeholders across the entire agricultural value chain.
