On which days will the rain stop cutting and transport this week, and where should cutting be brought forward?
At a sugar mill in the Zona da Mata, the forecast shows heavy rain from Thursday on the hillside farms. Clima suggests bringing forward cutting in the areas that drain best, keeping available cane at around 20 hours of crushing, adding up the yard, the loaded cane and the cane cut in the field, and scheduling the mill cleaning for the rainy day.

Example numbers
When will each lot be ready to harvest, and how to reach the price window with little rain risk?
In the São Francisco Valley, Clima starts from the floral induction date of each mango lot to forecast the harvest week and compares it with the price window of each destination. In harvest week, it warns of the rain that raises the risk of anthracnose in mango and cracking in grapes, so the team can harvest earlier or hold the shipment.

Example numbers
How much pasture do the farms that deliver milk have today, and how long does the feed reserve still cover?
In the Agreste, Clima estimates the pasture of each farm from satellite imagery and combines it with recorded rain and with scenarios for the rest of the season. The dairy sees which suppliers should start on silage and forage cactus earlier, and how much milk is at risk in the dry period.

Example numbers
When is the rain steady enough to sow each block, and which blocks should be harvested before the next front?
In western Bahia, Clima tracks how regular the rains are at the start of the season and shows when each block has enough moisture for safe sowing, within the climate risk zoning (ZARC) and the official calendar. At harvest, it ranks the blocks ahead of each rain front and warns of the risk in drying and transport.

How it works
Who it is forSugar mills, fruit farms, dairies and growers who plan cutting, harvest, planting or irrigation around rain.
- History
Before recommending anything, we look at the rain from your rain gauges in previous seasons and the days on which the operation stopped.
- Forecast
Every day, the weather forecast goes into the model and becomes days of stopped operation by farm or front, over the next 7 days.
- Recommendation
Whoever makes the call receives what to do before the rain: where to bring forward cutting or harvest, how much cane to keep available, when to schedule maintenance.

Questions about Agnaris Clima
Do I need a weather station?
No. We start with the operation's rain gauges and public forecasts. If the analysis shows that a station improves the forecast in a relevant way, we say where to install it.
How does the recommendation reach the team?
On a web dashboard and in a daily message to the people who decide, with the forecast and the recommendation.
