Who We Are

We are building the
intelligence layer
for African farming

"Agriculture employs 70% of sub-Saharan Africa's workforce yet operates with almost no access to real-time, actionable data. Farm Oracle exists to change that — one farm at a time."

Farm Oracle AI was founded on a simple but powerful observation: Nigerian farmers are highly capable, hardworking, and entrepreneurial — but they are systematically disadvantaged by information asymmetry. They plant without knowing tomorrow's rainfall. They lose crops to pests that satellite imagery could have flagged two weeks earlier. They sell their harvest to middlemen at 40–50% below the market rate because they have no phone screen showing live commodity prices.

We are building the technology that closes that gap — not an academic solution or a donor-funded app that disappears after a pilot, but a commercially sustainable SaaS platform that farmers pay for because it puts more money in their pockets than it costs.

Our platform combines four distinct intelligence layers: agronomic AI that advises like a personal crop scientist, satellite monitoring that watches every field from space, market intelligence that shows real-time commodity prices, and financial services that converts farm data into a credit score and loan access. No other platform in Nigeria offers all four in one place.

🇳🇬
Nigerian-Built, Nigeria-First
Every feature is designed around the realities of Nigerian farming — intermittent connectivity, Hausa and Yoruba language, small landholding sizes, and commodity market structures.
💡
Commercial Sustainability
We are not an NGO project. Farm Oracle generates revenue through farmer subscriptions, marketplace commissions, and financial services fees — building a self-sustaining business at scale.
🌍
Regional Ambition
Nigeria is the proof of concept. The platform is designed from day one to expand to Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Tanzania, and the broader West and East African agricultural belt.
The Challenge We Solve

The problem is real.
The solution is here.

Nigerian farming loses $9 billion annually to preventable failures. Every single one is an information problem.

⚠️
The Problem
No localised weather forecasting
National weather data is useless at the farm level. Farmers plant into droughts, spray before rain, and irrigate during flood conditions — losing entire seasons.
Pest and disease outbreaks go undetected
By the time symptoms are visible to the naked eye, 40–60% of a crop is already lost. Early detection is possible via satellite — but no platform offers it at farm level in Nigeria.
Price exploitation at the farmgate
Without knowledge of commodity prices, farmers accept whatever middlemen offer — routinely 30–50% below the Kano or Lagos market rate. This alone costs farmers billions annually.
Zero access to formal credit
No documented farming history means no credit score. Banks refuse loans; farmers borrow from informal lenders at 10–30% monthly interest, destroying their margins.
Extension services are overstretched
Nigeria has roughly one extension officer for every 3,000 farmers. The traditional advisory system cannot scale. Digital technology is the only solution.
The Farm Oracle Solution
Hyperlocal 14-day weather intelligence
Farm-level forecasts with smart alerts — optimal planting windows, spray-before-rain warnings, heat stress thresholds, and flood risk notifications mapped to each farmer's GPS coordinates.
Satellite NDVI crop monitoring
Sentinel-2 satellite imagery analysed by our AI detects crop stress, nutrient deficiency, and pest pressure up to 14 days before visible symptoms — enabling early, low-cost intervention.
Live commodity price feed + buyer matching
Real-time prices from 50+ Nigerian markets. Farmers list produce directly to verified off-takers, processors, and exporters — recovering 25–40% more income per harvest.
AI-generated Farm Credit Score
Three seasons of app activity, yield data, and market transactions build a verified credit profile. Partner MFBs use this to originate collateral-free loans within 48 hours of application.
24/7 AI Agronomist — in your language
An LLM fine-tuned on Nigerian crop science responds in Hausa, Yoruba, and English. Ask about fertiliser rates, irrigation schedules, harvest timing, or disease identification — anytime, offline-capable.
Product

Eight modules.
One complete
farming platform.

Every capability a modern Nigerian farmer needs — from planting to harvest to market to loan — built into a single offline-capable mobile application and web dashboard.

🧠
AI Agronomist
A conversational AI expert available 24/7. Farmers ask questions in plain language — or photograph a diseased leaf — and receive specific, location-aware, crop-stage-appropriate advice. The AI is trained on Nigerian crop science literature and localised datasets covering northern, southwestern, and southeastern agricultural zones.
⚡ Real-time · Offline-capable
🌦️
Weather Intelligence
Hyperlocal 14-day forecasting with farm-specific smart alerts. Not just "rain tomorrow" — but "delay your fungicide spray 36 hours" or "your planting window opens Thursday at 60% soil moisture." Weather data is sourced from high-resolution meteorological APIs and layered with soil moisture modelling for each mapped farm.
📍 Farm-level accuracy
🛰️
Satellite Crop Monitoring
NDVI analysis from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery (free ESA data, updated every 5 days) detects crop health anomalies, nutrient stress, waterlogging, and pest pressure across every mapped field. Farmers receive colour-coded health maps and actionable alerts — up to two weeks before any problem is visible on the ground.
🛰️ Sentinel-2 · 5-day refresh
🐛
Pest & Disease Prediction
Machine learning models trained on Nigerian crop disease datasets predict pest pressure in a farmer's specific area based on weather patterns, crop stage, and regional outbreak history. The app's camera feature allows farmers to photograph any diseased plant for instant AI-powered visual diagnosis with treatment recommendations.
📸 Visual diagnosis
📊
Yield Prediction
Pre-harvest yield forecasting — typically 3–4 weeks before harvest — gives farmers time to arrange transport, negotiate storage, and plan sales strategy. The same yield forecast is shared with partner lenders to enable timely crop financing. Accuracy improves with each season of data collected per farm.
📈 3–4 weeks ahead
🗺️
Smart Farm Mapping
Farmers walk their field boundary with GPS or drop pins manually to define farm geometry. The app calculates precise area, identifies soil type and elevation from satellite datasets, and applies microclimate profiling to recommend optimal crop varieties, planting density, and input quantities specific to each mapped plot.
🌍 GPS + Satellite soil data
🛒
Agricultural Marketplace
Live commodity price feeds from 50+ major markets across Nigeria — updated daily. Farmers can list produce directly on the platform to reach verified off-takers, processors, commodity traders, and exporters without intermediaries. Agro-dealers can list inputs (seeds, fertiliser, pesticides) for direct sale to Farm Oracle's verified farmer base.
💰 Eliminate middlemen
💳
Farm Finance & Credit
Farm Oracle builds each farmer's credit profile from app usage history, mapped farm area, verified yield data, and market transaction records. This AI-generated Farm Credit Score is shared with partner microfinance banks and agri-lenders to originate collateral-free farm loans. The entire process happens inside the app — no bank queues, no paperwork beyond phone-based KYC.
🏦 Collateral-free loans
🔌
Offline Mode
Full core functionality in zero-connectivity environments. The app uses on-device AI inference for the Agronomist, cached satellite imagery, and locally stored weather forecasts. Data syncs automatically when connectivity resumes. Designed specifically for the approximately 60% of Nigerian rural farmers who experience intermittent mobile data access.

Good morning Musa! Your maize on Plot A looks strong — NDVI 0.71. But I detected armyworm pressure on Plot B from yesterday's satellite scan. Act within 48 hours.
07:32 AM
What should I spray and how much?
07:33 AM
Spray Emamectin Benzoate 19g/L at 400ml per 15L knapsack, targeting the northeast corner of Plot B. Apply in the early morning (before 9am) to avoid heat degradation. Cost: ~₦1,800 for 2 knapsacks. Saves you roughly ₦28,000 in yield.
07:33 AM
When should I fertilise?
07:34 AM
Apply NPK 15-15-15 at 150kg/ha tomorrow — before the rain hits Wednesday. Rain will help absorption. Given your soil pH of 6.2, add 50kg/ha of lime to improve uptake. Expected ROI: +₦45,000/ha 🌱

User Journey

From first download
to full farm intelligence

A farmer in Kano can go from zero to fully-monitored, AI-guided, market-connected, and loan-eligible in a single afternoon.

1
Download & Create Account
Android app downloaded (iOS in Year 2). Account created with name, phone number, and location. WhatsApp sign-in option for lower-friction onboarding. The entire sign-up takes under 3 minutes.
Supported languages: English, Hausa, Yoruba, Pidgin English · KYC: BVN or NIN, captured in-app for Farm Finance eligibility
2
Set Up Farm Profile
Farmer selects crops, farming scale, season, and experience level. The AI uses this to immediately personalise all advice, alerts, and recommendations before any farm is even mapped.
Supported crops (Phase 1): Maize, Sorghum, Millet, Groundnut, Tomato, Cassava, Rice, Sesame, Soybean, Yam
3
Map Your Farm
Walk the field boundary using the GPS mapping tool or drop pins manually on the satellite basemap. The app calculates precise area, identifies soil type, and immediately activates satellite monitoring for that plot.
Satellite monitoring activates within 24 hours of mapping. First NDVI health report delivered in the next satellite pass over the region (typically 3–5 days).
4
Receive Daily Intelligence
From the next morning, the farmer receives: a weather briefing with farming-specific alerts, any new satellite crop health data, commodity price updates for their crops, and AI-generated daily recommendations.
Push notifications for time-sensitive alerts (pest detection, rain warnings, price spikes) even when the app is closed. WhatsApp fallback available.
5
Ask the AI Agronomist
Anytime the farmer has a question — fertiliser rates, disease identification, harvest timing, irrigation frequency — they open the AI chat and ask in plain language or by photographing the problem. The AI responds in seconds with specific, actionable advice.
Example queries resolved: "My maize leaves are yellowing at the tip — what is it?" · "When should I plant my second batch of sorghum?" · "Is this a good time to sell my groundnut?"
6
Sell, Earn More, Build Credit
At harvest, the farmer checks live market prices, lists produce directly to off-takers, and completes the transaction on-platform. Each completed season adds to their Farm Credit Score — eventually unlocking pre-approved loan offers from partner banks for the next planting cycle.
Credit score builds over 1–3 seasons. Loan offers from partner MFBs appear automatically in the app when the farmer qualifies. Repayments tracked in-app to maintain and improve the score.

🔐 Data Moat — Our Deepest Advantage
Every farm mapped, every yield recorded, and every AI interaction creates a proprietary agricultural dataset that gets more valuable with every user. After 3 seasons, no competitor can replicate the hyperlocal Nigerian crop intelligence we will have accumulated. This dataset is the basis for the credit scoring system, yield prediction accuracy, and AI model precision that compounds over time.
📶 Offline-First Architecture
Nigeria has 48% smartphone penetration in rural areas but unreliable data connectivity. Farm Oracle uses a progressive sync model — the AI Agronomist, weather cache, and satellite imagery all function with zero connectivity, synchronising non-critical data in the background when a connection is available. This is not a feature addition; it is an architectural requirement baked in from day one.
🤖 AI That Gets Smarter Per Farm
The AI Agronomist is not a static model. Each farmer's usage data — soil type, crop choices, yield outcomes, pest incidents — is fed back into a personalisation layer that makes advice increasingly accurate for that specific farm over time. A farmer in Year 3 gets dramatically better recommendations than a Year 1 user, creating powerful retention incentives beyond price.
🌐 Open API for the Ecosystem
Farm Oracle's data infrastructure is available to external partners via a commercial API. MFBs integrate our credit score API to underwrite loans. NGOs integrate our extension AI for their programs. Government ADPs can subscribe to regional crop health dashboards. This B2B layer creates recurring institutional revenue that diversifies beyond individual farmer subscriptions.
