In a bold step toward modernising Nigerian agriculture, CipherSense AI, through its flagship product, CropSense, has officially launched its AI-powered agri-intelligence platform in public beta, promising to revolutionise how farmers manage crop production across the country. The solution is designed to provide farmers and agribusinesses with critical, data-driven insights to significantly increase crop yields and mitigate losses.
Nigerian agriculture, the backbone of the nation’s economy, has long grappled with challenges ranging from inefficient resource management to unpredictable weather patterns and pest infestations. These factors often lead to substantial financial losses for farmers and pose a direct threat to national food security.
CropSense is built to address these systemic issues head-on. By leveraging advanced artificial intelligence and high-resolution satellite data, the platform delivers a comprehensive suite of tools for precision agriculture. This includes real-time crop monitoring, advanced pest and disease detection, and highly accurate yield prediction models.
“Our mission is to democratise access to agricultural technology,” said Olaoye Somide, founder of CipherSense AI. “CropSense turns a flood of complex data into simple, actionable advice that farmers can use, from planting to harvest. This is about giving every farmer a fair chance to succeed.”
The platform’s algorithms analyze satellite imagery to detect subtle changes in plant health, soil moisture levels, and growth patterns that are often invisible to the naked eye. This allows for early intervention, ensuring that farmers can make timely and informed decisions on irrigation, fertilizer application, and crop protection.
Beyond farm-level support, CropSense is already demonstrating cross-sector value with applications in finance, supply chain optimization, climate resilience tracking, and even policy development. Its intelligence enables more informed lending, traceable export sourcing, and targeted climate adaptation strategies.
To kickstart its Nigerian operations, CropSense has opened registration for 100 exclusive beta slots. The program is targeting forward-thinking agribusinesses, cooperatives, agronomists, and researchers across the country who will be the first to experience the technology and provide valuable feedback to refine the platform for wider release.
This launch signals a new era of data-driven farming in Nigeria, with technology playing a pivotal role in creating a more sustainable and profitable future for the agricultural sector.
