At iSDA, we believe that knowledge is the most powerful tool a farmer can have. That is why we are excited to announce our new partnership with KPLUSS Fertilizers Kenya Ltd., a collaboration set to revolutionise how farmers access agronomic advice and optimise their fertiliser applications for better yields and higher profits.
Through this partnership, we will introduce our Virtual Agronomist AI advisory service to farmers within the KPLUSS network, providing them with expert guidance on the best agronomic practices in a way that is both scalable and financially sustainable. This year, we hope to reach 1,000 farmers growing rice, coffee, beans, sorghum, and potatoes across the Kirinyaga and Meru counties in Kenya.
Empowering Farmers with Data-Driven Insights
Our Virtual Agronomist AI advisory service is designed to help farmers make smarter, more sustainable decisions by offering tailored advice on a wide range of agronomic practices, including fertiliser use, crop health monitoring and weed scouting. By integrating Virtual agronomic with KPLUSS’s extensive farmer network, we are creating a system where farmers can access real-time, science-backed agronomic recommendations that directly impact their productivity and profitability.
What This Means for Farmers
The benefits of this collaboration extend directly to farmers:
- Higher yields and improved quality: By optimising fertiliser applications and streamlining agronomic management, farmers will see a year-on-year improvement in the quality of their crops.
- Better decision-making: Our advisory service will provide recommendations that help farmers tackle a wide range of production challenges throughout their entire season.
- Personalised and accessible support: Delivered through WhatsApp, farmers can receive immediate guidance from Virtual Agronomist, tailored to their specific needs.
Strengthening Agricultural Value Chains
For KPLUSS, this partnership means improved forecasting of supply and demand and enhanced diagnosis of production constraints. By leveraging our data-driven insights, KPLUSS will be better positioned to support farmers with the right products at the right time.
For our team at iSDA, this collaboration represents a major step in delivering tailored agronomic advice at scale. Our goal is to enhance income for thousands of farmers by making precision agriculture more accessible and affordable.
A Shared Vision for the Future of African Agriculture
At iSDA, our mission is to unlock Africa’s agricultural potential through innovative digital solutions. Partnering with KPLUSS aligns perfectly with this vision, allowing us to leverage science and technology to enhance farm productivity, strengthen rural economies, and promote sustainable agronomic practices. Together, we are empowering farmers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions that will transform their livelihoods.
We look forward to embarking on their journey with KPLUSS and the farmers we serve. Stay tuned for updates as we roll out this exciting initiative and work towards a more prosperous future for Kenyan agriculture.
