Challenges

  • Poor resource allocation: Without tracking seeds, saplings, and input usage, farmers couldn’t optimize resource distribution. 
  • Limited seasonal insights: Farmers relied on guesswork instead of data-driven decisions to determine the best planting seasons. 
  • Language barriers in tech adoption: Many farmers spoke regional languages, making it difficult to implement digital solutions.
