The Opportunity

A Replicable Model for
Agricultural Clusters

This pilot established the FarmOptima Agripreneur model as a deployable playbook — one trained agent, one cluster of 100 farmers, one platform connecting satellite data to farm-level action.

❗ The Problem We Solved

Rajma farmers in Cachar District had no structured access to crop science. Fertiliser decisions were anecdotal. Pest identification was guesswork. There was no mechanism to translate satellite imagery into actionable farm-level guidance — until FarmOptima.

⚙️ How FarmOptima Works

One Agripreneur — trained and certified by Farm United — manages a cluster of up to 100 farmers using the FarmOptima mobile app. The AI advisory engine processes soil data against ICAR PoP guidelines. Sentinel-2 satellite tracks crop health weekly. All outputs delivered via WhatsApp.

📐

Built for National Scale — Not a One-Off

This 27-farmer pilot is proof of concept for the FarmOptima Agripreneur model. Each trained Agripreneur can serve up to 100 farmers — making the unit replicable across any state in India. One corporate partner, one deployment decision, measurable outcomes from the first season.

+28%
Yield Increase vs. Baseline
Timely soil-specific fertilisation and early stress detection via satellite pushed average output from 3.2 to 4.1 qtl/bigha across all enrolled plots.
Baseline: 3.2 qtl/bigha → Pilot: 4.1 qtl/bigha

🇮🇳

Deployable Across Any State in India

Same platform. Same training protocol. Same outcomes. Different geography.

India has 146 million smallholder farm households. The FarmOptima Agripreneur model is designed to reach them at scale — without building new infrastructure. A corporate partner deploying 50 Agripreneurs reaches 5,000 farmers in season one, with each cluster generating advisory, satellite, marketplace, and traceability data visible through a single dashboard.

The model is state-agnostic. Whether your supply chain anchors in Assam, Punjab, Maharashtra, or Odisha — the same playbook applies. One Agripreneur. One hundred farmers. Full visibility.
