FarmerZone™ is the Department of Biotechnology’s (DBT) vision for a cloud service that will offer curated data solutions leading to improved farm productivity and market connectivity for smallholder farmers.

FarmerZone™ will serve as a multi-purpose window for dissemination of farm-level information to farmers from dealing with climate change and weather prediction, to matters of land, soil, water, seed and market linkages serving as a single platform for collecting, curating and analyzing data and distributing it as need-based solutions. It aims to eliminate the data silos that currently inhibit the sharing of agricultural information, by incentivizing all key actors in the smallholder agriculture value chain to share their resources in a mutually beneficial model.

The platform will work on getting relevant quality data related to agriculture into the cloud, developing sentinel sites to help link with farmers. This will be the authoritative platform for agri advisories in India.

Interested firms/companies are required to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) along with Technical Proposal, documents in support of PQC and information required as per following documentation.
