Key Takeaways
- Oracle has introduced Government Data Intelligence for Agriculture, an AI-powered solution designed to provide governments with real-time agricultural insights.
- The platform combines data from multiple sources—including satellite imagery, weather, soil data, and crop records—into a single system to support food security and agricultural planning.
- Early adopters, such as the Government of Rwanda, are exploring how the system can help forecast production and inform timely policy responses.
- The new solution is part of the Oracle Digital Government Suite, which leverages cloud, AI, and analytics to address complex societal challenges.
Oracle Expands Role in Agriculture Data Intelligence
Oracle announced the availability of Government Data Intelligence for Agriculture, a platform that uses AI and cloud infrastructure to provide visibility into agricultural performance. The system is designed to help governments monitor food production, anticipate potential risks, and automate responses to strengthen food system resilience.
“Food security is a global challenge that impacts all nations,” said Mike Sicilia, CEO of Oracle. “With advances in cloud computing, AI, and satellite technology, we can transform agriculture operations to support more predictable outputs. Oracle Data Intelligence for Agriculture brings these elements together in one secure system to give nations predictive insights to drive resilience.”
Real-Time Insights for Agricultural Planning
The application is built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and aggregates large datasets from proprietary and government-owned sources, including:
- Satellite imagery
- Weather and soil data
- Historical crop performance records
Using AI-driven models, the platform can forecast yields, detect risks, model intervention strategies, and quantify potential threats to food security. Insights are displayed through interactive dashboards designed for government agencies responsible for monitoring and response.
Rwanda as an Early Example
The Government of Rwanda is among the first to explore how the system can be applied.
“We believe technology holds the key to helping Rwanda address some of our largest societal issues,” said Hon. Paula Ingabire, Minister of ICT & Innovation, Rwanda. “Working with Oracle, we are looking at how AI-enabled solutions like Agriculture Data Intelligence can provide vital insights to forecast crop production and support more resilient food systems.”
Part of Oracle’s Digital Government Suite
The platform is integrated into the Oracle Digital Government Suite, which includes tools for cloud infrastructure, AI, network connectivity, and applications. This broader suite is designed to help governments accelerate digital transformation and address pressing societal needs.
