Netagrow is an AI-driven agricultural intelligence platform positioned as "an agronomist in your pocket," helping farmers and agricultural organizations understand field conditions and decide what to do next. Its core purpose is continuous monitoring and early warning around crop health, weather, and field conditions, along with actionable guidance.
Main capabilities
Capabilities for farmers in the app include:
- Crop problem identification: users can take a photo of a crop problem, and the platform identifies the disease and provides a treatment plan within seconds; if the same problem does not improve, it will continue to be flagged as a reminder.
- Weather and risk warnings: warnings are issued before situations such as rainfall affecting spraying, high temperatures threatening livestock, or drought risk during the planting window occur.
- Field monitoring: monitors each field via satellite signals, including fields the user has not personally checked that week.
- Action guides and Q&A: provides daily action manuals for more than 60 crops and livestock, and users can also ask "Neta" directly, with answers based on the user's actual fields and the most recent scan.
- Farm management: manage farms, monitor fields, understand crops, and get AI guidance in one app.
Capabilities for agricultural organizations include Neta Alert climate and drought intelligence, which allows viewing changes in agricultural conditions by province and district:
- Monitor rainfall, soil moisture, drought stress, and water accessibility in one decision-ready view;
- Compare provinces, track trends, and view evidence to guide team priorities;
- Provide dry season forecasts for each province, validated against 770 historical forecasts;
- Provide information on the start of the rainy season and "false starts" for each province;
- Provide planting readiness, soil moisture, and 40 years of rainfall data;
- Provide information on water sources, boreholes, and road accessibility from national data;
- Provide staple food prices and crop distribution;
- Provide PDF briefings, email alerts, and API.
Farmers working with organizations can receive seasonal updates, practical guidance, and extension officer support via WhatsApp. The platform also provides a drought risk scorecard (Netagrow Score, 0–100, higher is better).
How to use
Farmers can use it through the free farm app, with the official description being "no bank card, no package." Organizations can obtain climate and drought risk intelligence through Neta Alert, with prices starting from K12,000/month; system integrations can obtain rainfall, drought risk, and crop data through API. The price for farmer users is K1,200/user/month. In addition, a Neta Alert WhatsApp pilot is offered for seasonal updates and guidance.
Use cases
It is suitable for Zambian farmers for planting decisions, pestand disease identification, scheduling spraying and planting windows, field monitoring, and farm financial management; it is also suitable for agricultural organizations, extension agencies, and others for regional climate and drought risk monitoring, planning team work priorities, and integrating agricultural data into their own systems. It is officially described as "built for Zambian farmers," and showcases use cases from farmers in Central Province, Southern Province, and Copperbelt Province.
