Your field agents diagnose crop disease in under 60 seconds. You see every farm.
Harvestline is a dashboard for cooperative managers and agribusiness aggregators across Sub-Saharan Africa. Your agents get instant AI diagnosis in the field. You get a live farmer roster, diagnosis history, and aggregated harvest lots ready for bulk buyers, without building farmer trust from scratch.
Awaiting crop sample…
What the model does, specifically
Not a general-purpose plant ID tool. A fine-tuned diagnostic model built for the crops, diseases, and field conditions that West African cooperative agents encounter.
A single crop photo taken by a field agent on any Android device, including in low light.
Convolutional neural network fine-tuned on a dataset of cassava, maize, tomato, yam, and soybean disease images sourced from West and East African field conditions, not generic international datasets.
Disease identification, confidence score (%), severity classification (Low / Medium / High), and a structured treatment plan with locally available remedies and resistant varieties.
Results returned in under 60 seconds. Inference runs server-side; field agents do not need on-device compute or a sustained internet connection during a visit.
Treatment recommendations available in English, Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo. Agents select output language at login.
Cassava (CMD, CBB, CBSD, anthracnose), Maize (fall armyworm, MSV, gray leaf spot), Tomato (TYLCV, early blight, bacterial wilt), Yam (yam mosaic, anthracnose), Soybean (frogeye, SDS). More crop types added per cooperative request.
The gap between 500 million smallholder farmers and any reliable support
Across Sub-Saharan Africa, the agricultural labor force is enormous. The infrastructure to support it is not. Diagnosis, market access, and organized supply-chain linkage are absent for the overwhelming majority of smallholder farmers from West Africa to East Africa.
The majority farm plots under two hectares with almost no institutional support. In Nigeria alone, that is 38 million smallholder farmers.
Most smallholder farmers across West and East Africa wait years for a single advisory visit. Disease goes undiagnosed until a crop fails.
Fragmented logistics, no cold storage, and small scattered lots that can't meet minimum buyer volumes. The loss is structural, not seasonal.
Without records, roster, or diagnosis history, there is nothing to underwrite. No data means no financial products, no market linkage, no recovery.
The current response: SMS advisory lines, consumer-facing crop apps, and isolated NGO programs, reaches a fraction of farmers and stops at information delivery. None of it aggregates supply, and none of it creates the organized market-ready lots that buyers need to act on.
What your agents do in one visit
Harvestline is built around the agent's workflow, not a farmer-facing app, not an SMS line. Your agents are mobile, trained, and already trusted by the farmers they visit. Harvestline puts tools in their hands and data in yours.
Diagnose in the field
The agent photographs the crop with their phone during a farm visit. Harvestline returns a disease identification, confidence score, severity rating, and a treatment plan specific to the crop and region, within 60 seconds. The result logs automatically to the farmer's record. No connectivity required in the field; data syncs on reconnection.
Covers cassava, maize, tomato, yam, and soybean. Trained on Sub-Saharan African crop disease prevalence data.
Build the farmer roster
Every visit populates a structured record: farmer name, GPS location, crop type, planting date, plot size, diagnosis history, and yield estimate. The cooperative manager sees the full portfolio: all agents, all farmers, all flagged crops, from one dashboard. The roster is the operational asset. It is also what makes this data bankable for insurers and lenders.
Each farmer record is portable: exportable for donor reporting, shareable with agro-input suppliers.
Aggregate and sell
As harvest approaches, Harvestline calculates available volume by lot, clusters nearby farmers with the same crop ready at the same time, and generates a consolidated supply position. The cooperative negotiates with one buyer for the whole lot, not farmer by farmer. Post-sale, proceeds are distributed per-farmer based on the logged contribution weights.
Integrated with buyer-side demand feeds. Minimum lot configuration is set by the cooperative per buyer relationship.
Diagnosis is table stakes. The margin is in aggregation.
Several apps do competent crop diagnosis. None of them solve what happens after. The farmer still has a fragmented half-hectare lot and no path to a buyer. That gap is where cooperatives lose money every harvest season.
Disease identification from photo. Treatment recommendations. Some offline support.
Stops at information delivery. The farmer knows what's wrong. Still can't organize a sellable lot, still can't reach a buyer, still has no recorded history for credit or insurance access.
Diagnosis is the entry point. The roster is the asset. The bulk lot is the revenue event.
The aggregation gap is where capital is flowing
AGRA, the World Bank MSME Agribusiness programs, and bilateral DFI facilities are all moving toward market-linkage platforms. Standalone diagnostic tools are not on the funding roadmap. Harvestline is structured to receive that capital.
Farmer trust is inherited, not built from scratch
Cooperatives already have the relationships. Harvestline agents work inside that trust. They don't need to re-convince a farmer to adopt a new app. Adoption follows the cooperative mandate, not viral growth metrics.
The roster is a financial data asset
GPS-verified farm location, crop type, planting date, yield estimate, diagnosis history across multiple seasons. This is exactly what agro-input suppliers, crop insurers, and lenders need to offer financial products to smallholder farmers. The roster, over time, is worth more than the subscription.
Built for the organization, not the individual farmer
Harvestline charges cooperatives and agribusiness aggregators, not farmers. Your agents are the users. You are the customer. Farmers benefit from the service your cooperative delivers without needing to adopt any technology themselves.
Per-Agent Dashboard
Each agent logs in to their own view: their assigned farmers, recent diagnoses, scheduled visits, and flagged crops. You see all agents from a single cooperative dashboard.
Cooperative Portfolio View
One screen shows your entire operation: active farmers, recent diagnoses, flagged crops needing action, aggregate harvest volume by crop type, and agent activity.
Bulk Lot Aggregation
Harvestline clusters farmers with matching crops and harvest windows into minimum sellable volumes. You negotiate with buyers once, not across hundreds of individual farmers.
Full Diagnosis History
Every farm visit logged and timestamped. Treatment compliance tracked against follow-up visits. Season-on-season yield change visible per farmer. Records are verifiable and exportable.
Export for Donor Reporting
CSV roster and diagnosis exports formatted for M&E requirements. Supports AGRA, GCF, and bilateral donor log-frame outputs without manual compilation.
Offline-First Field Mode
Agents capture diagnoses and farm data in low-connectivity areas. Everything queues locally and syncs automatically when a connection is available. No data is lost in transit.
Impact that satisfies your reporting obligations
Harvestline generates structured, verifiable impact data at the farmer and cooperative level. The alignment below is factual, not aspirational. It is stated here for impact investors, DFI program officers, and NGO procurement leads evaluating pilot fit.
- Early disease detection prevents crop loss before it becomes irreversible.
- Aggregation improves smallholder income from produce that does reach market.
- Yield tracking over seasons enables evidence-based input decisions by cooperative managers.
- Agent employment is created per cooperative deployment, one agent per 30–50 farmers.
- Stable, predictable income for smallholder farmers from organized bulk lot sales.
- Cooperative organizations become viable employers and market intermediaries.
- Reduced post-harvest loss means less land pressure from replanting failed or spoiled crops.
- Disease early-warning systems support climate-adaptive agriculture at scale.
- Roster data enables precision input use, reducing over-application of pesticides and fertilizers.
Harvestline is structured to generate impact reporting suitable for Green Climate Fund, AGRA partner reporting, and bilateral donor M&E frameworks. Farmer-level outcome data (yield change, disease incidence, income from aggregated sales) is logged continuously and exportable in formats aligned with standard log-frame indicators. No manual compilation required at reporting time.
Pilot Harvestline with your cooperative
We are currently onboarding cooperatives for a structured 90-day pilot. The pilot provides full platform access, onboarding support for your agents, and weekly data reviews with our team. We are accepting applications from cooperatives and agribusiness organizations across Sub-Saharan Africa.
