AgriBus-DWH
AgriBus-DWH (data warehouse) is our data business. The daily work data that farmers around the world record with AgriBus-NAVI is processed into anonymous statistics that cannot identify any single farm, and the insight is returned to farmers and to the people who deliver our food. The statistics go to farmers first, as a membership benefit, and the same statistics are offered to companies, research institutions and public bodies. The revenue is reinvested in building tools for farmers and keeping them affordable.
An “activity nowcast” built from what farmers actually do
Satellite imagery shows what a field looks like. AgriBus-DWH is built on behavioural data: what farmers actually did today. Compared with official crop-progress statistics (USDA, CONAB, published weekly), the same field activity can be observed daily and earlier, which we have confirmed by cross-checking against the official figures.
For farmers (membership benefit)
Members of the AgriBus-NAVI / AgriBus-Web paid plan (AgriBus Professional) get the following at no extra cost.
- Crop monitors (Market Insights): for the main soybean regions (Brazil, United States) and wheat regions (United States, Black Sea), daily updates on work progress versus the long-term average, regional weather signals, supply-demand statistics and market observation material. Japanese, English and Portuguese. Open “Market Insights” in AgriBus-Web.
- News feed: field-work activity in your area (about 33 km) and the wider region (about 55 km) compared with last year and the long-term average, plus posts and photos from other farmers and weekly monitor reports. Free-plan users see the weekly comparison for their own area.
- Elevation maps: built from the GNSS altitude in your work records (RTK recommended) or, failing that, from satellite elevation data (Copernicus DEM, 30 m). Synced to AgriBus-NAVI for use while driving, and exportable as ISOXML.
- VRA (variable-rate) zone maps: zones per field derived from Sentinel-2 vegetation indices (10 m), each with an application rate. Generate maps for many fields at once, export as ISOXML (ISO 11783-10) and sync to AgriBus-NAVI, which shows the rate for your current position while driving.
Regional activity is an anonymous statistic and does not evaluate any individual farm. Market observation material is not investment advice.
For companies, researchers and public bodies
The same anonymous statistics are available through three channels: a web dashboard, a REST API and MCP (a connection method that AI agents can call directly).
| Data | Content | Update |
|---|---|---|
| Field-work activity | Regional activity with deviation from the long-term average and from last year (anonymous statistics from AgriBus-NAVI) | Daily |
| Regional weather | Soil-moisture, temperature and precipitation anomalies (Open-Meteo, ERA5-based) | Daily |
| Observation signals | Patterns combining work, weather, supply-demand and market data (derived indicators only) | Weekly |
| Public supply-demand statistics | USDA FAS PSD / NASS QuickStats | Monthly |
API resources cover regions, work progress, weather anomalies, observation signals with their inputs, and supply-demand statistics. Every response carries its sources and disclaimer. The OpenAPI specification is provided when an API key is issued.
For developers: the AgriBus API gives external apps access to AgriBus-NAVI driving data (developer documentation: docs.agri-info-design.com).
Plans
- Enterprise (trading houses, food manufacturers, investors): all features, API, monthly custom reports and dedicated support. Pricing and trials (1 to 3 months) on request.
- Academic / Public (universities, research institutions, public bodies): free to at-cost for research and public purposes, on condition that published results credit “AgriBus-DWH (Agri Info Design, Ltd.)”.
- Demo: free for evaluation, with data delayed by four weeks.
- AgriBus membership: paid-plan members can view the monitors; API access is by application.
How the data is handled
- Locations are converted irreversibly into regional cells about 11 km across, so no single farm can be identified.
- Statistics for areas with few users are not shown, and raw counts of operations are never published.
- Data that has not been anonymised is kept outside the systems that serve external users and cannot be read from outside.
- For market data we only share computed outputs such as normalised indices and observation patterns, never prices themselves.
Frequently asked questions
Can individual farm data be seen? No. Locations are irreversibly converted into cells about 11 km across and used only as statistics aggregating many operations. Isolated areas with little surrounding activity are excluded.
Is this an investment advisory service? No. It is a monitoring service that observes and visualises information. It gives no investment recommendations, trading instructions or management advice. Statistics and past verification results do not guarantee future returns; decisions are your own responsibility.
Are the verification details public? A summary of the method and verification is public. Technical documents with full verification figures and internal design are provided under a non-disclosure agreement.
