Yara approach on the fundaments of the ag digitalization
Step change in productivity and environmental performance of crop processes is possible and realistic
– Processes still not data based and limited industrialization
– Still under-utilized or immature technologies and services
– Requires a holistic, synergic approach combining different technologies
Data is the foundation for the change
– no data > potentials of AI, machine learning, technology development remains “locked”
Data is owned by the farmer
– used by Yara to deliver value > can be withdrawn by the farmer
– data is combined with the generic data such as weather data

Valio-Yara partnershipDeveloping profitable partnerships along the value chain
• Valio-Yara partnership (Milk2020) to develop competitiveness of Finnish dairy by improving grass silage yields

PROFITABLE GROWTH
What is the value chain really looking for?

VALIO ANSWER AT FARM LEVEL
Competitive supply Reduced operational costs
Consistent supply Quality and productivity
Sustainable supply Traceability of best environmental practices
Pal O Stormorken, VP, Partnership Strategy, Yara Digital Farming
Background for the Valio-Yara partnership
• Valio in a transformation mode related to future farm structure and end-user driven sustainability expectations
• Valio dairy farmers face financial problems due significant reduction in milk price due to western sanctions against Russia
• High silage grass potential in Finland but slow development of yield level
• ”Low input” approach of research

R&D project: Leveraging productivity
• Based on the project trials, take farmer
from the current yield response level
(black curve) to significantly higher yield
response level (two green lines)
• .35 % better nitrogen efficiency and
corresponding yield response
