Problem
Farmers often rely on manual field inspections and paper‑based calculations to decide when and how much to irrigate or fertilize, leading to imprecise water use, higher costs, and sub‑optimal yields.
Solution
YakuSmart offers a subscription‑based smart farming platform that integrates continuous IoT sensor data (soil moisture, pH, temperature, EC), satellite NDVI imagery, and local weather station information. An AI assistant processes these data streams in real time to generate actionable irrigation and fertilization recommendations. Users receive push and WhatsApp alerts specifying the timing, quantity, and location of interventions, enabling precise resource use from day one without any upfront hardware investment.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial growers and agro‑exporters in Latin America who manage irrigated crops and seek data‑driven decisions to reduce water use and improve yields.
