Empowering smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Farmers in this region are experiencing 45-100% crop destruction and losses due to poor or late detection of crop pests and diseases. They simply don’t have the ability to detect or predict this. They experience chronic soil degradation and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that 65% of Africa’s agricultural land suffers from soil degradation

They are unable to use expected crop yields as collateral to acquire credit facilities from financial institutions. It is unfortunate that to date, these farmers lack the tools to predict the weather. AgriTech Analytics has the solutions to all these and more.

“Agriculture is the greatest and fundamentally the most important of our industries. The cities are but the branches of the tree of national life, the roots of which go deeply into the land. We all flourish or decline with the farmer.” – Bernard Baruch.
