Problem
285 million small and medium agricultural producers feed 30% of the world, yet most lack access to the support systems they need. More than half decide each harvest without specialized technical assistance, while being the most exposed to climate change losses and largely invisible to credit, insurance, and formal markets.
Solution
Tecde developed Harvis, an AI-powered agricultural assistant that operates within WhatsApp to provide 24/7 technical assistance to producers, cooperatives, and agroindustries across Latin America. The platform uses generative AI, computer vision, and WhatsApp infrastructure to deliver specialized guidance directly through a channel farmers already use daily, removing the need to adopt complex new tools. Harvis covers more than 20 agricultural subsectors, delivering scientific rigor behind each technical recommendation while maintaining a natural, frictionless user experience. The company reports over 25,000 technical recommendations delivered and more than 30,000 hectares monitored, with an NPS above 80.
