The Republic of Tatarstan is rapidly advancing a key stage of the large-scale "Agrometeomonitoring" project: installation of weather stations that meet strict Roshydromet standards has begun in the region's fields. This ensures that the recorded parameters—temperature, humidity, wind speed, precipitation, and other critical agricultural indicators—will be recognized as reliable and legitimate.
One of the main challenges for farmers during adverse weather conditions and biological threats remains the lack of incontrovertible evidence accepted by insurers. Often, reports from existing weather stations, which are objectively insufficient for full coverage of the territory, cannot fully confirm damage, leading to denial of claims.
For the first time in RUSSIA, a comprehensive agrometeomonitoring system has been created, developed and implemented in close partnership with Roshydromet. This project is a unique example of effective public-private collaboration aimed at solving fundamental problems in the agricultural sector.
The new network of weather stations will provide complete coverage of Tatarstan. The occurrence of a hazardous event will be automatically and accurately recorded by the nearest station, and the resulting electronic report will become a legally binding document for claim settlements.
In addition to identifying hazardous natural phenomena, the Agrometeorological Monitoring system will provide farmers with real-time access to accurate weather data and disease and pest forecasts based on the phenological phase of plants. This will enable optimal planning of sowing, crop treatment, and harvesting , minimizing the risks of untimely work and increasing production profitability. This project confirms the effectiveness of modern technologies in the development of the agricultural sector.
