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.

Start 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.

The data no competitor can copy.

1
The Cam_Agri For Africa pilotFour documented phases, real cost lines, dated incidents and 73 field photographs, structured as the founding dataset.
2
Grower survey30 to 50 tomato growers in Foumbot interviewed on their recent seasons: yield, costs, losses, selling prices.
3
Field price surveyTwo to three price readings per week on the Foumbot and Bafoussam markets, by a paid correspondent, then by the community.
4
Reference soil testsLaboratory analyses on selected plots to verify satellite soil data on the ground.
5
The season logEvery active user records one complete season per cycle, plan against reality.

Public data can be copied by any competitor; years of seasons recorded in Foumbot and beyond cannot.

Farmers own their data.

  • Individual records are used only with explicit consent.
  • Data is never sold.
  • Third parties receive only aggregated and anonymised data.
  • Every source is listed in a licence register.
  • Compliance with Cameroon’s personal data legislation and the rules of each new country of operation.

One pilot zone. A continental data foundation.

Public climate and soil datasets already cover the whole continent. Field data starts in Foumbot, West Cameroon, and expands release by release. Select a country to see what exists today.
