Smartfarm AI

SmartFarmAI is an innovative AI-powered farm management platform designed specifically for poultry farmers in Nigeria and across West Africa. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, the company addresses critical challenges faced by smallholder poultry farmers who struggle with scattered record-keeping across notebooks, WhatsApp chats, and memory. The platform transforms how farmers track vital farm data including mortality rates, egg production, vaccinations, feed consumption, and bird weights, consolidating everything into one intelligent system that provides actionable insights for better farm management.

At the heart of SmartFarmAI’s solution is cutting-edge technology that combines AI/ML-powered anomaly detection, predictive egg production forecasting, optimal broiler sale timing recommendations, and IoT environmental monitoring currently in development. The platform’s multi-tenant secure architecture, built with Rust, ensures data security while providing farmers with real-time visibility into their operations. By serving over 50 farms across Nigeria, SmartFarmAI has demonstrated tangible impact by helping farmers reduce mortality rates by 10-15%, prevent ₦3-10M in disease outbreak losses, detect ₦18-56M in annual theft losses, and optimize profits through data-driven sale timing.

What sets SmartFarmAI apart is its foundation by an experienced farmer and software engineer who validates every feature on their own commercial farm before release. This unique combination of real farming expertise with cutting-edge technology ensures that the platform addresses genuine farmer pain points rather than theoretical solutions. The company’s mission is democratizing agricultural technology to ensure food security and economic empowerment for smallholder farmers across Africa, positioning itself as a catalyst for transforming poultry farming from a guesswork-driven practice into a data-driven, profitable, and sustainable business.
