CipherSense AI, an AI and Data company focused on African realities, has launched CropSense, a pioneering platform now available for public testing. This cutting-edge product aims to deliver data-backed recommendations that assist farmers, agribusinesses, and policymakers in enhancing agricultural yields, minimising post-harvest losses, and strengthening food security by combining advanced AI analytics with high-resolution satellite data techniques.
Additionally, CropSense seeks to address some of the most enduring challenges in Africa, including unpredictable weather, pest infestations, and inefficient resource utilisation, all of which contribute to yield gaps and post-harvest losses. This is achieved through a precision agriculture toolkit featuring real-time crop monitoring, early pest and disease alerts, and a precise yield prediction model.
Speaking about the platform’s impact, Olaoye Somide, Founder of CipherSense AI, said: “CropSense turns vast amounts of agricultural data into clear, actionable intelligence that farmers can use from planting to harvest. Our mission is to democratise agricultural technology, ensuring every farmer has a fair chance to succeed.”
Delivering Breakthrough Solutions Across the Agriculture Ecosystem
Leveraging multi-spectral satellite imagery and proprietary AI models, CropSense identifies subtle changes in crop health, soil moisture, and growth patterns, often before they become visible to the naked eye. This enables immediate intervention through timely irrigation, fertilisation, and crop protection measures, thereby boosting productivity and profitability.
Furthermore, the platform’s satellite-based intelligence offers a wide range of applications beyond individual farms, including financial services, supply chain optimisation, climate adaptation, and policy development. Notably, the state-of-the-art product enables financial institutions to make informed lending decisions, helps exporters maintain traceable, quality-compliant sourcing, and allows policymakers to track climate resilience metrics, guiding national agricultural strategies.
Strategic Beta Launch Targets African Market
To drive adoption in Nigeria, CropSense has opened exclusive beta access for agribusinesses, cooperatives, researchers, and agronomists across Africa, allowing them to trial the platform and share feedback ahead of the full commercial launch.
This launch represents a significant step in building Africa’s agricultural intelligence infrastructure, positioning data and AI as central tools for creating a more resilient and profitable farming ecosystem.
