Dimitra and IDMA Join Forces to Transform Agriculture in Peru with AI and Blockchain

Bringing Digital Innovation to Sustainable Farming

Dimitra Technology and the Instituto de Desarrollo y Medio Ambiente (IDMA) have launched a groundbreaking partnership to modernize agricultural certification, enhance sustainability, and improve traceability in Peru. By integrating AI, blockchain, and digital tools, this collaboration aims to streamline compliance with Participatory Guarantee System (SGP) standards, strengthen trust in organic farming, and create new economic opportunities for smallholder farmers.

Through advanced data-driven solutions, Dimitra will help IDMA digitize agricultural processes, ensuring greater transparency, efficiency, and market readiness.

The Challenge: Complex Certification & Market Access Barriers

Peru’s Participatory Guarantee System (SGP) is a community-based organic certification process that validates sustainable farming practices. However, its paper-based documentation and manual tracking make it inefficient and difficult to scale.

Farmers also face key challenges such as:

• Meeting compliance requirements for national and global markets
• Lack of reliable tools for carbon credit monetization
• Limited access to real-time agricultural insights
• Low levels of technical assistance (only 3.7% of Peruvian farmers receive formal training)

Without digital innovation, these limitations slow adoption of sustainable farming and reduce income opportunities for small-scale producers.

The Solution: Dimitra’s AI-Powered Digital Transformation

Through this partnership, Dimitra will digitize and automate key aspects of IDMA’s agricultural programs, making compliance, traceability, and sustainability more accessible.

How Dimitra’s Technology Will Drive Impact

1. SGP Digitalization — Farmers will be able to register and track organic certification processes digitally, eliminating inefficiencies of manual paperwork.
2. SGP+ with Carbon Capture — The partnership introduces carbon credit tracking and monetization, creating a new revenue stream for sustainable farms.
3. Automated Compliance Monitoring — AI-driven insights will enable real-time tracking of certification progress for both IDMA and farmers.
4. Strengthening Consumer Trust — With blockchain-based traceability, customers can verify farming practices, increasing transparency and market value.
5. Expanding Access to Technical Support — Dimitra’s digital tools will bridge the gap in agricultural education, providing real-time assistance and data analysis.

By modernizing IDMA’s framework, Dimitra ensures that farmers, organizations, and consumers benefit from a more connected and accountable food system.

A Strategic Partnership for Sustainability and Inclusion

Beyond Certification: A Broader Commitment to Social Impact

IDMA has long championed gender equality and inclusivity in agriculture, ensuring that women and marginalized communities receive equal access to resources and opportunities. Dimitra’s traceability technology will provide concrete data to document and support these efforts, strengthening the case for sustainable and equitable farming practices.

A Key Milestone: The XIV National Meeting of the Participatory Guarantee System

The official signing of this partnership at the XIV National SGP Meeting was a turning point, placing Dimitra’s technology at the center of Peru’s organic farming future. This event, which brought together government officials, private enterprises, and agricultural leaders, provided a platform to demonstrate how digital solutions can accelerate the adoption of sustainable certification models.

Through this collaboration, Dimitra and IDMA will now extend their reach to 12 regions in Peru, integrating more farmers into a digitally connected ecosystem.

Scaling Innovation Across Latin America

This initiative is just the beginning. The SGP model is already being implemented across Latin America, including in Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, Colombia, and Honduras. Dimitra and IDMA plan to use their success in Peru as a model for expansion, helping more farmers benefit from blockchain-backed certification and AI-powered sustainability tools.

What’s Next? A Roadmap for the Future

Immediate Goals

• Launch SGP digitalization, increasing adoption among Peruvian farmers.
• Establish Dimitra’s national presence in Peru, with government and private sector engagement.

Medium-Term Goals

• Roll out SGP+ with carbon credit tracking, creating monetization opportunities for sustainable farms.
• Expand Dimitra’s technology to other Latin American countries, making it a standard for traceability and compliance.
• Share lessons learned with international organizations to drive adoption of digital certification models worldwide.

Conclusion: AI and Blockchain Paving the Way for the Future of Agriculture

By integrating AI and blockchain into organic certification, carbon credit tracking, and compliance monitoring, the Dimitra-IDMA partnership is redefining how sustainable farming operates in Peru. This collaboration is setting a new benchmark for digital transformation in agriculture, making it easier for farmers to meet regulatory requirements, secure market access, and benefit from sustainable practices.

As this partnership evolves, Dimitra and IDMA will continue to develop innovative solutions that improve efficiency, create economic resilience, and promote transparency.
