Dimitra is an established company bringing the latest agricultural technology to small-holding farmers in developing nations worldwide. Working with governments, NGOs, development banks, etc they provide mobile and web-based enterprise software to make farms more efficient and profitable.
There are approximately 570 million farms worldwide with the agri-food industry worth an estimated value of $8.5 trillion. Smallholder farms represent about 500 million of those and 70% of worldwide production but are often under-resourced technologically.
The rising costs of suppliers and the shortage of labor mean that many of the latest and emerging technologies can give farmers a significant advantage.
Dimitra has developed 13 complimentary working software modules that consolidate complex inputs including sensors, satellite data, genetics, and a global library of best practices covering livestock and crop management.
Dimitra’s blockchain solution provides farmer anonymity, enterprise level data security, document auditability, secure track and trace, immutability, and maintains privacy between government, corporations and farmers stakeholders.
They have also developed a worldwide network of experience with partners in 68 different countries with over 100,000+ farmers already connected.

The Dimitra Token was created to accelerate the growth of the company’s “Connected Farmer” platform. It derives its value from its utility within the Dimitra software ecosystem.
This Ecosystem relies on a network of decentralized node operators who execute a proof of stake validation functionality. These node operators have to stake tokens to participate and get a fee from each transaction processed.
Transactions are created according to several patterns defined by the transaction type. The most common types are registration of encrypted farm data, farmer observations, livestock reports, sensor data, payment of services.
Farmers are also incentivized, through the use of Farmer Points, to interact with the ecosystem (registering stock, managing data etc) and can get discounts on future services. The Farmer Points have a direct relationship to the Dimitra Token.
Dimitra Token will be distributed according to a predetermined distribution schedule with a maximum supply over 20-years of 1 billion tokens. They have reserved 200 million tokens for the team, advisors, founders, early investors and contributors.
