Public data on day one. Field data that compounds.
Climate and soil can be covered from day one with free public data. Market prices and real season results cannot, and their systematic collection is Djalumo Agro’s lasting competitive advantage.
Land and water are available. Reliable decisions are not.
Cameroon, the pilot country, cultivates about one hectare in four of its arable land and irrigates less than one hectare in seven of its irrigable potential.
Context · Cameroon
Sourced dataSource: Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER), reported by Business in Cameroon. The irrigated figure is a reported upper bound (fewer than 33,000 ha).
Temporal coverage
Sourced dataStart years as published by each provider. SoilGrids is a static map, shown at its current release.
Start year of each public source in the data foundation. Longer histories mean better estimates of how often a planting window fails.
Nine sources, each audited before use.
