Africa's smallholder farmers
are making critical decisions
with no data.

dotTerra is a precision agriculture platform built for Sub-Saharan Africa. We combine real-time soil science, hyperlocal weather forecasting, and AI to deliver actionable crop recommendations — in Portuguese, on any smartphone, at 2G speeds.

The Problem

The tools exist.
They weren't built for Africa.

Every existing precision agriculture platform was designed for large-scale Western farms — expensive hardware, English interfaces, and business models that assume consistent internet connectivity and formal land ownership. None of that maps to an Angolan smallholder farming 2 hectares of cassava.

70%
Angola's food import dependency
Angola spends billions importing food it could grow domestically. The agricultural sector is vast and structurally under-served — not from lack of land or labour, but lack of intelligence infrastructure.
$68B
Annual value destruction
African farmers lose an estimated $68 billion per year to preventable crop failures, misapplied inputs, and decisions made without data. The cause is not laziness — it's information poverty.
Zero
Portuguese-language AgTech platforms
Angola, Mozambique, and São Tomé represent 35M+ Portuguese-speaking agricultural workers. No precision agriculture platform serves them in their language. That gap is our entry point.
The Solution

An agronomist in every
farmer's pocket —
backed by real data.

dotTerra's Crop Clinic is a mobile-first PWA that runs in any browser — no app store, no installation, no hardware required at MVP stage. A farmer describes their field; we pull real weather and soil data for their exact GPS coordinates and return a personalised recommendation in under 20 seconds.

01
Farmer inputs field data Crop type, acreage, current observations. Location pinned on map or auto-detected via GPS.
02
Live data stack fires Open-Meteo 7-day hyperlocal forecast + SoilGrids soil profile + Angola-specific agronomic knowledge base.
03
AI synthesises personalised recommendation Immediate actions, 7-day weather-adjusted plan, risk level with plain-language rationale. In Portuguese.
Crop Clinic — Live Output

The platform delivers recommendations in Portuguese — Angola's language of agriculture.

🌱 Field Status
Severe stress detected: yellowing leaves combined with zero rainfall forecast for 7 days indicates acute water stress alongside active pest infestation. Immediate intervention required.

Who it's for

Software-first.
B2B distribution.

We don't sell direct to individual smallholders — that's a slow, expensive CAC problem. We sell to agricultural cooperatives, NGOs, and government extension programs who already have farmer relationships. They bring the distribution; we bring the intelligence layer.
