Technology Updates: AI-Powered Tools Driving Smarter Farming Decisions

The DigiFarmer app continues to evolve to support smarter, data-driven farming across East Africa. The latest platform upgrade introduces AI-driven price forecasts that help farmers predict market trends and sell at the best possible time. In addition, real-time pest and disease alerts allow farmers to take early preventive action, reducing crop losses and lowering production costs. The integrated input ordering feature enables farmers to easily purchase seeds, fertilizers, and other farm supplies directly through the app. These innovations are driving strong platform adoption, with DigiFarmer recording a 17 percent month-on-month increase in active users.

DigiFarmer operates on an inclusive and scalable business model. Farmers subscribe at $5 per month, plus a 5–15 percent service commission depending on usage. Enterprise clients access advanced analytics and supply chain tools at $100 per month, supporting long-term platform sustainability and regional growth.
