Ektar by IDMAT Develops ABRI PRO+ as Alternative to Crop Insurance in France and Overseas Territories
Ektar by IDMAT has developed ABRI PRO+, a shelter system designed as an alternative to traditional crop insurance. Originally focused on arboriculture, the company expanded to vegetable crops over a decade ago.
The system offers protections against hail, wind, and pests, reducing wind impact by 45% and water evaporation by up to 50%. The SOCOTEC-certified design includes features like insect-proof seals and a durable structure suited for cyclonic zones.
Recent interest has grown in mainland France and overseas territories, particularly in regions with persistent pest issues. The Climatveg 2 project aims to address future climate challenges while supporting sustainable farming practices.
