Farming advice for your field
Advice about your field, from an agronomist who knows it.
A small station near your farm measures the soil and the rain, so your agronomist knows what is happening in your field before they call. You get advice about your field, more often, on the phone you already have.

Any phone
No app, no smartphone, no internet. A call or an SMS to the phone you already have.
About your field
Not general advice for the whole district. Advice about your field, this week.
An agronomist who knows your field
Your agronomist sees what the station measures, so the advice fits your field and comes sooner.
How it works
Four steps, from your field to your phone.
A station near your farm
Mai sets up a small station near your farm. It measures the soil and the weather every day. Sensors high above cover your field too. You do not need to look after any of it.
Your field, every day
The readings from your field are compared with what is normal for it, so a change shows up early, before the leaves do.
Advice on your phone
When something needs doing, you get advice about your field by SMS or a call: what is happening and what to do.
An agronomist when it matters
When a problem needs a closer look, an agronomist checks your field, often in person, and tells you what to do about it.
Why a person
A person you can talk to, not an app.
Charts on a screen do not tell you what to do. Your agronomist does. Mai makes sure they know your field before they call.
What is happening
For example: your maize has had less water than normal for 9 days.
Why
What the agronomist found when they checked your field.
What to do
What you can do about it, and by when.
A few days later, the agronomist asks how it went. Your answer helps make the next advice better, for you and for your neighbours.
For agronomists and the organisations they work for
Reach more farmers, with better advice for each field.
Mai shows each agronomist which farms need them, what is happening in each field and what to advise. Routine advice goes out by phone, so the agronomist's time goes where it is needed most. Mai is built to work with agronomists from cooperatives, coffee washing stations, exporters and advisory services, as well as its own.
Plan a pilot with MaiWhich farms need you
A daily list of the farms that need attention, most urgent and nearest first, with the reason for each.
The field before the visit
What changed, for how long, and what the readings show, before you leave.
Advice ready to send
Suggested advice for each field, in the farmer's language, for the agronomist to check, adjust and send.
A record of every case
What was seen, what the agronomist found, what the farmer did and what happened next.
