In a major development, CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE:CNHI) has collaborated with seven companies to develop ConectarAGRO, with the intention to bring open connectivity solutions to all of Brazil’s agricultural regions.
This initiative will enable Brazil’s rural producers to take advantage of precision farming, and digital and automated technological resources. Also, this will provide access to a range of new products and services enabled by connectivity, which will in turn result in business optimization.

This program will bring people, equipment and other devices under a single platform. In other words, ConectarAGRO will be vital for augmenting the productivity and competitiveness of Brazil’s agribusinesses.
