Progress from the platform and the field

The satellite reads one clear day, and the field card shows five indices

A farm whose boundary is mapped can now be measured from Sentinel-2 one clear day at a time. The first version averaged five days into a single picture, and on a four hectare farm that average carried no usable ground for four months while one clear day in August carried hundreds of usable pixels over the same fields. Averaging was hiding the days that could be read.

The field card reports five indices for the day it measured: NDVI for green cover, SAVI and EVI for ground that is not fully covered, NDMI for water in the canopy, and NDRE for early nutrient stress. Each one states the day, which ground the clouds masked out, and what the index cannot tell you.

When a day is too cloudy to measure, the card says so for that day instead of repeating an older reading as if it were new. Live for mapped farms on the web app.

A farmer hands field work to a manager, and the record names both people

A farmer can name one manager from their cooperative and choose exactly what that person may do on one owned farm: correct the farm profile, run seasons, or log field activities. Nothing is granted by default, and a delegation carries an end date no longer than a year.

Every write made under a delegation is checked again on the request and stored with the manager as its author and the farmer as its owner, so a field record never loses whose farm it belongs to. The farmer can revoke the delegation at any time, and a manager cannot widen or extend their own authority.

Live for cooperative members and the farms they manage.

A new account opens on a dashboard that says what to do next

A new account used to land on a dashboard with nothing on it. It now opens on a first-run panel that offers the three ways in: complete a farmer profile, map the first farm, or accept a cooperative invitation. The next step is marked, each step says what it unlocks, and an invitation link is checked before the page sends it.

An account that already has a profile but no farm sees the first step done and the farm asked for next. The panel disappears once the account has records of its own.

A field check reads back in the language it was written in, and routine alerts wait for your hours

A field check written in French now reads back in French: the stored note, the alert built from it, and the summary the Copilot quotes all keep the language the check was written in.

Alerts follow the reader's own clock as well. A time zone and a quiet window are set once per account; routine weather and activity notices wait for the window to close, while security and account notices are never held back. Each channel can be switched on or off on its own.

Live for every farm on the web app.

One field check feeds the alert, the screen and the Copilot

A field check saved once now drives everything that follows from it: the weather alert built on it, the monitoring screen that lists it, and the Copilot answer that explains it. Before this, the same observation could be entered twice and the three surfaces could disagree.

The check keeps its author, its day and the farm it was written on, so a later reader can see where a recommendation came from.

Every public page is discoverable, and each one carries the date it changed

Every public page is listed in the sitemap that search engines read, in both languages, and the robots file names the one rule that keeps private screens out of it.

Each page also states when it last changed, read from the commit that changed it rather than from the day the page was built, so a search result carries a date a reader can trust.

Prices can be read in nineteen currencies, one for every market on our map

The marketplace now quotes prices in nineteen currencies, covering the fifteen ECOWAS countries plus Gabon, Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Ethiopia. A reader picks the currency they think in, and every listing, filter and saved preference follows it.

A signed-in reader's choice is stored with the account, so the same figures greet them on the next device.

Live for every marketplace reader.

Our market numbers print their arithmetic and name six markets

The investors page no longer states a market size and asks to be trusted. It prints the farm counts it starts from, the arithmetic between those counts and the result, and it names the six markets whose national farm counts can be read: Togo, Benin, Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Kenya.

Where a figure could not be verified, the page says so instead of rounding it into the total. A number whose working we cannot show is not a number we publish.

Publishing a listing opens where you stand, and the catalogue walks in pages

The publish button on the marketplace now opens the listing form over the page, wherever you are in the catalogue. Before this, the form was drawn far below the listings: on a busy marketplace the button looked like it had done nothing at all. The form closes with the Escape key or a press outside it and returns you to the button you came from, and the confirmation that follows reads at the top of the catalogue, where you can see it.

The catalogue is drawn in pages as well: 10, 25, 50 or 100 listings at a time, with a line that says how many are on screen out of the total and one press to draw the next page. Walking past a catalogue of a hundred listings no longer means scrolling past all of them, and the page stays quick on a phone as the marketplace grows.

Live for every member on the web app and the installable app.

Every listing says when it was posted, and the catalogue filters by it

Each listing now shows the date and time it was posted, on the card, on its own page and in the seller's own shelf. A buyer can tell a harvest offered this morning from one posted in June.

The marketplace can be narrowed by posting window as well: the last week, 2 weeks, month, 3 months, 6 months or year, alongside the search, the offer type, the category, the price range and the location. Filters combine, and the summary above the catalogue shows what is narrowing it and undoes one filter at a time.

Listings that FarmAI itself seeded as examples carry a "Demo listing" marker with its explanation, so nobody mistakes a sample for a farmer's harvest.

Price the marketplace in the currency you think in

Every price on the marketplace can now be read in the currency you actually use. A buyer browsing from Abidjan, Accra, Lagos, Nairobi, Johannesburg, Harare, Douala, Paris or Washington sees listings quoted in XOF, XAF, GHS, NGN, KES, ZAR, ZWG, USD or EUR, and picks the one they want from a single control above the catalogue.

The seller's own asking price is never rewritten. Whatever the catalogue shows, the amount the seller set stays beside it, so a cooperative, a trader or a lender reading the same listing sees the same authoritative figure the farmer typed.

Where a pair cannot be quoted honestly, the listing says so instead of printing a number that looks right. Prices are for reading and comparing; the deal itself is agreed in the seller's currency.

Saved filters, and a web app that behaves the same from the keyboard

A reader who narrows the catalogue often can now name a filter set once and bring it back in one press. A saved filter remembers the offer type, the category, the price bounds, the location and the posting window.

The web app also closes cleanly from the keyboard throughout: every panel, menu and dialog shuts with the Escape key and hands focus back to where it started, and a press with the mouse leaves the same focus behaviour in every browser, so a reader who alternates between the two is never surprised.

Live across the web app.

Money follows the harvest, not the click

A marketplace deal can now be paid online, and the funds are held until the buyer confirms delivery, or until the agreed release window passes. A buyer who is not served can open a dispute instead of paying twice; a dispute is resolved in the admin console, with every step recorded in the deal's history.

Payments run through hosted checkout for card and mobile money, including rails that serve West Africa and Togo, and a USDT option on TRON where the deployment holds a receiving address. Each rail is only offered on a deployment where it is fully configured, and a rail that is switched off is not shown as an option.

A payment is applied only after the provider itself confirms the transaction, not when a browser reports success. Sellers whose rail cannot pay out yet are shown the amount owed to them, and administrators see the list of shares still awaiting settlement, so a seller is never told they were paid when the transfer has not happened.

Listings that show the work, and a steward who checks them

A listing now carries up to eight photographs, with a cover image, an order the seller controls, and small renderings so a catalogue page loads quickly on a phone. Every picture is described for readers who cannot see it, and a photograph that cannot be shown says so instead of leaving a blank frame.

New listings go to review before they are public. An administrator approves, returns them with a reason, or suspends one that breaks the rules, and the seller is told exactly which state their listing is in. A correction to a published listing goes back through review, so what buyers read has been checked.

Buyers can ask a public question on a listing and read the answer in the same thread, and every confirmation dialog in the app now closes with the Escape key and returns the reader to the button they came from.

Crops and seasons now stay with the farm

A crop now comes back to the farmer who recorded it. It appears in the season list they already use, in the Field Log and in the Farm Passport, and the Copilot carries the active season's crop into the answers it gives about that farm, so season and crop records describe the same farm everywhere they appear.

Farm lifecycle rules now cover closure as well: a season can be closed only on a farm that is still in service, so an archived farm or one scheduled for deletion never receives a quiet final entry. The history partners read is the history the farmer kept.

Live for every account on the web app and the installable app. Cooperatives and institutions onboarding members see each farm's own seasons and crops, exactly as the farmer does.

A faster, steadier platform across multiple farms

FarmAI now remembers the farm you were last working in. The Field Log and the Copilot both open on the right farm from visit to visit, which matters for farmers and cooperatives who manage several plots.

Archived farms are protected from new records, the marketplace shows its listings sooner when it opens, navigation is quicker, and your theme and language choices now follow you across the app.

FarmAI continues to strengthen reliability and data integrity across its multi-farm experience.

Support Center and Community Forum are open to members

Members can open a support request from inside the app and follow it to resolution: private to the person who opened it, with a clear status at each step (open, in progress, waiting on you, resolved, closed).

The Community Forum gives farmers, cooperatives and field teams a shared place to ask questions, share practical experience and follow the topics that matter to them. Moderation keeps threads useful, and a contact-sharing safeguard keeps deals on FarmAI, where they are recorded and protected.

The Copilot now carries the conversation

The Copilot keeps the thread of a conversation, so follow-up questions build on what came before instead of starting over. A farmer can move from a symptom to a treatment plan, then to a cost question, without repeating the context.

Answers stay grounded in the farm's own records, weather and satellite observations, and each answer shows its source in the chat.

A trust release: farm records stay the farmer's own, Copilot answers show their source

FarmAI completed a focused release on record privacy: farm records remain private to the farmer, and to the cooperatives, buyers or financiers the farmer chooses to share them with.

Copilot answers now state their source in the chat, so a member can tell whether an answer was generated live or comes from the FarmAI knowledge base.

The FarmAI app is live at app.farmaiventure.com

The production application opened on its own domain: sign-in with a phone number, the farm dashboard, farm registration by walking the boundary with GPS, Earth Observation with explicit evidence states (no boundary yet, processing, no cloud-free image, live with capture date and cloud cover), weather intelligence, the Copilot, the Farm Passport and the marketplace.

The Field Log works offline: records are saved on the phone and reach the platform when connectivity returns, however long the outage. The app installs to the home screen as a PWA and ships in English and French.

The marketplace now trades three ways: sales, rentals and workforce

Members asked for more than buying and selling, so the marketplace gained two offer kinds. Equipment owners can now list tractors, trucks and tools for rent, and farms can post workforce requests to hire seasonal crews for harvest, transplanting or field preparation.

Fees follow a per-kind schedule: 5% on completed sales, 10% on rentals and 10% on workforce placements. The commission applies to the agreed amount only; delivery fees and any other costs outside the listing price are never commissioned.

Copilot photo diagnosis: scan a sick plant, get an action plan

The Copilot accepts photos now. Attach up to four pictures of a crop, animal or pest and it reads what is visible: symptoms, lesions, insects, damage patterns. It names the most likely problem with an honest confidence level, proposes a prioritized action plan, and says clearly when lab confirmation or an agronomist visit is needed.

Photos are optimized for mobile data before upload and are never stored on FarmAI's servers. The Copilot advises; the decision stays with the farmer.

A permanent quality program for every page, theme and language

The FarmAI public experience is checked continuously across English and French, light and dark mode, and phone, tablet and desktop widths: layout, keyboard focus, image accessibility and contrast.

Accessibility and clarity are product requirements here, and every change is measured against them before it ships.

The FarmAI Venture website is live

The company website opened at farmaiventure.com: solutions, features, partner and investor pages, lead capture forms, and the full design system sampled from our brand.

Dark mode, full-site search (press Ctrl+K) and a print-friendly layout ship with it.

Farm registration by walking the boundary, and a mobile app that keeps up with the field

Farmers can register a farm by walking its boundary with GPS. The mapped area is computed from the boundary itself, so records start from a measurement instead of an estimate.

The mobile app keeps farmers signed in day to day, and the map and boundary tools work in English and French.
