Agreo, our modern agro-IT platform
Since 2020, we have been gradually implementing the Agreo agro-IT platform, yielding
significant benefits, including the standardisation of data exchange, more accurate
reporting, centraliced data, enhanced traceability and improved communication
between the field and the factory.
Agreo is currently deployed at 12 of the 14 Ardo vegetable and herb production sites.
The system ensures instant visibility between upstream activities in the field and
downstream actions in the factory at the touch of a button, eliminating the need for
manual tracing. Our goal is to achieve 80% digital crop traceability on the system
by 2025, with the objective of reaching 100% by 2030.
This digitalisation process will substantially enhance our record-keeping capabilities
for the implementation of our MIMOSA+ programme. Utilising Agreo enables us to
monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and track the progress of improved
agricultural practices across the 41,000 hectares of crops under our contract.
Implementing innovative MIMOSA+ practices
on pilot farms
In addition to endorsing established Good Agricultural Practices, we actively explore
various innovative methods. We designate certain forward-thinking farmers as pilot
farms to experiment with novel regenerative agriculture techniques. These initiatives
involve collaboration with technical advisors, research centres and our customers.
Our ambition is to establish at least one pilot farm per production site by 2025.
