Yara International ASA announced on June 8 that it is opening its AgTech portfolio up to third parties through the new agricultural API-solution, YaraFX Insight. The announcement was made at the 4th World Intelligent Farming Summit in Berlin, Germany.
The tool, which will now be available for integration into third-party digital platforms, makes recommendations based on Yara’s crop nutrition knowledge, global field trials, and more than 800 agronomists worldwide.
“It is crucial that we collaborate to farm more sustainably, reduce global emissions, maximize yields, and ensure that farmers can prosper,” said Victoria Pace, Vice President of Yara AgTech. “The industry is moving towards stronger collaborations with partners and building interconnectivity between digital services. Yara wants to support as many farmers around the world as possible in growing a nature positive food future, regardless of what platform they chose.”
YaraFX Insight will enable farmers worldwide to access Yara´s portfolio of agronomic, science, and data-based tools, including crop nutrition plans, variable-rate nitrogen application maps, on-field analysis tools, and biomass monitoring maps. Yara said the offering will make it easier for farmers to improve nutrient use efficiency, crop yield, soil health, and profitability.
“We aim to cover 150 million hectares with our digital services by 2025,” said Marcus Birke, Head of Product, AgTech APIs, Yara International. “The key driver behind this is to support as many farmers as possible to improve their yields based on science and our industry leading crop nutrition knowledge.
