For FPOs, agri input cos, agritech & agri-export businesses

Indian farming has every problem AI was made to solve. We just haven't shown up.

From farmer onboarding to crop advisory in the local language to mandi price intel and procurement, AI helps FPOs, input companies and agritech founders serve farmers at scale. Below are 15 agri workflows I rebuild with AI.

If this sounds like your week

The farmer wants 4 things: input price, weather, advisory, fair sale. Most agri businesses give him 1.

Read it honestly. If even three of these hit, you are bleeding hours and money you will never get back.

Farmer onboarding done on paper; FPO ledgers messy.

Advisory pushed in English / Hindi only — adoption poor.

Mandi prices known to traders, not farmers.

Procurement booking done on phone — chaos at peak.

Soil tests collected but recommendations not delivered.

Govt-scheme paperwork (PM-Kisan, KCC, subsidy) confusing.

The 15 automations

Traditional way → AI way, with the math on the table

Every line below is a real workflow I have built or could ship inside 2–6 weeks. The per-task numbers describe a reference setup at the upper end (busy clinic, full QSR week, etc.) using a loaded labour rate of ₹250/hr. The headline savings of ₹4.56 L/year at the top of the page are these per-task savings scaled down to the farmer producer organisation / agri-input company described above. If your business is larger, multiply; if smaller, divide.
