Rosselkhozbank announced on November 10, 2020 start of a marketplace of agricultural machinery for landowners.

More than 1000 units of agricultural machinery are provided in an ecosystem for Svoyo Fermerstvo agrarian and industrial Complex from Rosselkhozbank. Users of a marketplace can select suitable goods from leaders of mechanical engineering and purchase them, including – on credit or leasing.

The range of goods is replenished on a daily basis.

Combine harvesters, soil-cultivating technology, the sowing equipment, zernosushilka, mowers, sorters, the equipment for application of fertilizers and other equipment are presented in the directory of the equipment for crop production. In the section of the equipment for livestock production - forage harvesters, the forage equipment, the equipment for production of compound feeds, the kormorazdatochny and kormosmesitelny equipment. On a marketplace also models of tractors are available: the Resident of Kirov tractor of production of Petersburg Tractor Plant, the Belarus tractors and MTZ of production of "the Minsk Tractor Plant" and other models of tractors from the Russian and foreign producers.

Within an ecosystem "the Farming" we started the first B2B-marketplace in agricultural sector. Emergence in a marketplace of agricultural machinery will allow landowners to pick up the necessary machine and to purchase it, including – on favorable terms by means of financial products of RSHB. It is possible to issue any equipment worth from 100 thousand rubles on credit on special conditions from Rosselkhozbank at the rate from 5% per annum. And partnership agreements with suppliers allow buyers to receive discounts for separate goods to 10% at a design of credit buying, – the Director of the Center of development of financial technologies of Rosselkhozbank Elena Baturova noted.

Problem of an ecosystem "the Farming" from Rosselkhozbank – to promote IT transformations of the micro, small and medium enterprises of agricultural sector. The platform integrates digital solutions and services which will allow small farms to automate the solution of everyday tasks without additional costs and to focus on business growth.

The main unit of information services of an ecosystem are agrotechnological solutions which help the farmer to reduce costs and to increase performance. These are biotechnologies, and robotics, technologies of Internet of Things, exact agriculture on the basis of data from satellite pictures and also the last technologies of management of agriculture for status monitoring of crops, forecasting, planning and accounting of transactions in agriculture. Also the ecosystem of Rosselkhozbank facilitates to farmers process of receiving the qualified veterinary help, providing it in a convenient online format.

Services of an ecosystem help also with promotion of goods and services of farmers. So, landowners using the platform can independently offer the goods to a big circle of suppliers, including find clients in a HoReCa segment. Besides, the ecosystem of RSHB provides service which allows landowners to realize the tourist potential for increase in profitability of business and to become these specialists of the agrotourism industry. The platform also allows to resolve a personnel problem using the aggregator of the summary and vacancies in agricultural sector.

Inclusion in an ecosystem "the. Farming" service for tracking of animals by means of RFID tags

In the middle of October, 2020 it became known of start in Russia of service for tracking of animals by means of RFID tags. It is implemented in an ecosystem of digital services "the. Farming" Rosselkhozbank it is also developed by Aytiproyekt company. Read more here.

Connection more than 50 thousand farmers to a system

On October 7, 2020 Rosselkhozbank reported that it is ready to assist on a substantial scale farmers in sale of their products by means of the ecosystem of digital services developed by bank. The bank predicts that the platform until the end of the year will cover more than 50 thousand country farms which will provide on a show-window the products and also routes for agrotourism.

The ecosystem is intended for complex digitalization of the small enterprises agrarian and industrial complex which unlike large players of the market often have no sufficient resources for this purpose. Among the services provided on the platform – technology of "exact agriculture", selection of seeds, televeterinary science and many other things.

In bank the end-to-end system of support of the farmer movement at all stages from training in business bases before implementation of finished goods is created. Special attention is paid to digital technologies. For the purpose of formation of a comfortable digital medium we started a digital ecosystem for farmers "the. Farming". Within an ecosystem entrepreneurs can buy seeds, fertilizers, forages and agricultural machinery, 24/7 to consult with the veterinarian, to receive a set of business services and to pick up personnel, - the First deputy chairman of the board of Rosselkhozbank Irina Zhachkina told

The ecosystem helps also with sale of farmer products. Any farmer – the participant of an ecosystem can create the online store on the platform, load a product catalog, connect delivery and payment and to sell products through the application. One more possibility of an ecosystem – agrotourism development.

One of key questions for small business in the village are sales channels. Through the organization of different platforms we help sellers and buyers to find each other. This year we started the platform for farms "the. Native" where each farmer of the country can sell online self-produced products. We developed for buyers mobile and web applications to order farmer products directly without intermediaries and margins. We calculate that until the end of the year on the platform 50 thousand farms will be registered. Except products farmers will be able to sell agrotourism services – on the platform there will be an opportunity to select or initiate a tour, - the director of the Center of development of financial technologies of Rosselkhozbank Elena Baturova says

According to the Center of industry expertize of Rosselkhozbank, in Europe agrotourism is developed by about 100 thousand farms. The industry supports about 1 million jobs and generates about 150 billion euros revenue, bringing about 35% of the total revenues of agricultural producers.

System implementation of control of sanitary standards

Rosselkhozbank together with the resident Skolkovo – Connectome.ai company – implemented in an ecosystem of digital services "The Farming" development which will help farmers to control respect of sanitary standards by employees on production. It became known on September 18, 2020. The intellectual development based on video analytics and machine learning defines the identity of the worker, checks quality of disinfection of hands and existence of necessary overalls. Use of this system will allow to minimize risks of transfer of bacteria in a net zone on a farm or the enterprise.

Development on the basis of video analytics and artificial intelligence helps to control observance by employees of sanitary regulations. A system completely in the automatic mode by means of intellectual video surveillance defines the identity of the employee then monitors process of washing of hands according to medical EN1500 standard.

The device reminds of need of careful washing of hands, shows the correct method of processing and checks for compliance to the put regulations. The algorithm of movements which are advised by development is based on WHO recommendations, at the same time it is impossible to pass to the next stage until the device does not make sure that the user correctly and qualitatively executed previous. Developers assure that it is impossible to deceive them artificial intelligence — a system just will not include attempt to wash hands incorrectly. After that a system analyzes existence on the employee of required overalls and lack of jewelry and manicure.

Rosselkhozbank constantly expands a line of services of an ecosystem "the Farming", becoming the conductor of digital technologies for landowners. If the large companies are capable to invest independently in implementing solutions, for small country farms it is often unprofitable. Services of Rosselkhozbank allow to use solutions in the field of artificial intelligence, data analysis, "exact agriculture" and others without considerable investments. This development is intended to increase quality of control of biosecurity of farmer products. The intellectual video analytics allows to check observance by employees of all regulations, and, in case of violation, it is simple not to allow them on production, - the Director of the Center of development of the RSHB financial technologies Elena Baturova tells.

The main markets for implementation of development in bank call the production of foodstuff, the livestock and poultry-farming enterprises, medical laboratories and other subjects interested in biosecurity of the made products.

The ecosystem has the huge potential for specialized organic production. One more of its advantage is an opportunity to submit the application for passing of certification of organic products in Roskachestva. Cooperation Roskachestva and Rosselkhozbank on development of this direction of an ecosystem was performed even before entry into force of the Federal law "About Organic Production". So, certification there passed last year's participants of a festival of Rosselkhozbank "", - Elena Sarattseva, the deputy manager Roskachestva says.
