The problem FarmGuide solves
The Problem It Solves
Crop selection challenges - Farmers struggle to decide which crop to grow based on soil, weather, and market demand.
Low income & high risks - Wrong crop choices often lead to low yield and financial losses.
Generic advisory services - Existing solutions are one-size-fits-all and don’t provide personalized guidance.
Language barriers - Most platforms are only in English, making them hard to use for local farmers.
Connectivity issues Many rural areas have poor internet access, leaving farmers without timely advice.
How It Helps
Provides personalized crop recommendations using AI models trained on soil, weather, and market data.
Gives 7-day market price forecasts with Sell/Hold advice.
Detects crop diseases from images, enabling early treatment.
Supports multiple languages (English, Hindi, Odia, etc.), and even voice-to-text chatbot.
Works in offline mode, so farmers get access even with low or no connectivity.
