e- Αγρότης 2016
Μόλις µερικά χρόνια πριν, άλλαξε τελείως ο τρόπος διάχυσης της πληροφορίας µε τη χρήση του διαδικτύου. Μία νέα αντίστοιχη αλλαγή γίνεται στις µέρες µας µε την ανάπτυξη των «έξυπνων» κινητών τηλεφώνων που επιτρέπουν την από παντού πρόσβαση στο διαδίκτυο αλλά και την ανάπτυξη ειδικών εφαρµογών µε σκοπό την πληροφόρηση αλλά και την υποστήριξη σε σηµαντικές καθηµερινές µας λειτουργίες. Τα τελευταία χρόνια έχουν αναπτυχθεί πολλές υπηρεσίες που στηρίζουν το σύγχρονο αγρότη, βοηθώντας και καθοδηγώντας τον, κάνοντάς τον πιο άµεσα ενηµερωµένο και ανταγωνιστικό. Η COMPO ως η εταιρεία που πρώτη εδώ και χρόνια έχει επενδύσει προς την κατεύθυνση αυτή µε τη δηµιουργία του COMPO EXPERT HELLAS APPLICATION, παρουσιάζει µερικές πολύ αξιόλογες δηµιουργίες που είναι στην υπηρεσία του σύγχρονου αγρότη.
