Enhanced connectivity in agriculture is predicted to add more than $500 billion to global gross domestic product by the end of the decade, according to the consultancy <\/span>McKinsey<\/span><\/a>. Sophisticated digital tools \u2013 such as sensors, drones and data analytics \u2013 are enabling new levels of precision agriculture, optimized resource use and improved decision-making, empowering farmers and transforming the sustainability of agriculture. Farm operations at the leading edge of this technology transformation are positioning themselves to thrive in this connectivity-driven future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Syngenta, a global leader in agricultural innovation, and Al Dahra, a multinational agribusiness stewarding 400,000 acres of sustainable irrigated farmland with active operations across six continents, have announced a strategic partnership to implement Syngenta\u2019s digital farm management solutions across \u00a0\u00a0more than 220,000 acres of Al Dahra farms in Romania, Serbia, Egypt and Morocco. This collaboration aims to advance sustainable agriculture at scale and enhance productivity across key regions.<\/span><\/p>\n

By implementing Syngenta\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Cropwise<\/span><\/em>\u00ae<\/sup><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Operations<\/span><\/em>, Al Dahra will be able to centralize farm data across its operations in multiple countries and production sites and optimize its farm management decisions \u2013 from the individual field level to across its entire operations. Through the collaboration, Al Dahra aims to improve the sustainability of its agricultural operations, ensure long-term productivity and secure its feed supply.<\/span><\/p>\n

Syngenta\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Cropwise<\/span><\/em>\u00ae<\/sup><\/span>\u00a0Operations<\/span><\/em>\u00a0is an all-in-one platform integrating modules for agronomic, financial, and administrative farm management, which will be integrated with Al Dahra\u2019s existing digital tools. Real-time data will enable Al Dahra\u2019s farm managers to quickly respond to emerging pest or disease situations, better manage water usage and irrigation efficiency, and to optimize and target their seed, fertilizer and agricultural input use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cropwise<\/span><\/em>\u00ae<\/sup><\/span>\u00a0Operations<\/span><\/em>\u00a0has been fully integrated into Al-Dahra\u2019s complex IT solutions landscape, enabling the implementation of unified corporate standards across the entire agro-holding. As a result, all business units now use the same templates, classifiers and metrics, allowing for consistent and compatible managerial reporting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Feroz Sheikh, Chief Information and Digital Officer at Syngenta Group, said: \u201c<\/span>Our\u00a0<\/span>Cropwise<\/span><\/em>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Operations platform represents a significant leap forward in digital agriculture. By partnering with Al Dahra, we’re demonstrating how data-driven insights can transform large-scale farming operations across diverse geographies. This partnership not only revolutionizes farm management and optimizes yields but also sets a new global standard for sustainable, data-driven farming.<\/span>\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Cropwise<\/span><\/em>\u00ae<\/sup><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em>digitally connects 70 million hectares of farmland at present.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arnoud van den Berg, Group CEO at Al Dahra, said: “At Al Dahra, we’re always looking for ways to push the industry forward through innovation. Our vision for the future is clear: a smart, digital infrastructure that works for us, cutting down on manual data entry and giving our employees more time to focus on what really matters. One of our biggest goals is to automate reporting as much as possible, ensuring real-time insights into everything happening on our farms. To make that vision a reality we needed the right partner, and\u00a0<\/span>Cropwise<\/span><\/em>\u00ae<\/sup><\/span>\u00a0Operations stood out as the perfect fit for taking our farm management to the next level.”<\/span><\/p>\n
