Netagrow

Netagrow is a smart farming platform that provides integrated software, hardware, and artificial intelligence systems designed to address real‑world challenges in agriculture, particularly in sub‑Saharan Africa. The platform offers a free farm management application that allows farmers to register and manage their fields, track crop cycles, record activities, and monitor farm performance through a simple mobile or web interface. This app serves as the central hub for all farm data, enabling users to log inputs, schedules, and yield observations. Beyond basic record‑keeping, Netagrow deploys IoT field sensors that collect environmental data such as soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and nutrient levels. These sensors transmit real‑time readings to the platform, where they are combined with satellite imagery and weather forecasts to generate actionable insights. The AI engine then analyses this data to detect pest infestations, diagnose soil deficiencies, and recommend corrective actions — for instance, identifying early signs of fall armyworm on maize or nitrogen deficiency in cassava fields. The diagnosis is delivered directly to the farmer’s phone with suggested treatments, reducing reliance on manual scouting and expert visits. The platform also includes an agricultural marketplace where farmers can buy inputs like seeds, fertilisers, and pesticides from verified suppliers, and sell their produce directly to buyers. This marketplace aims to reduce middlemen costs and improve price transparency. Additionally, Netagrow anonymises farm‑level data to produce aggregated intelligence for government agencies, research institutions, and agribusinesses. This anonymised data helps track regional crop health, forecast yields, monitor climate impacts, and design better subsidy
