Partnered with leading agricultural organizations
We're building farmbetter to help farmers increase yields, farm sustainably, thrive financially — with less hassle and more clarity. The same goes for the extension agents supporting them, and the cooperative managers who need a clear view of their farmer groups and field teams to make faster, better-informed decisions.
Built for how farming actually works
Farmers of any age start on day one — it's a WhatsApp conversation, not an app to learn. The field app takes extension agents minutes to learn, not weeks of training. The two connect, so a farmer's question reaches their agent without anyone re-keying a thing — and it all fits alongside the systems you already run.
What is farmbetter?
Three connected products: a WhatsApp chatbot for farmers, a field app for extension agents, and a dashboard for the people running the programme.
The challenge?
Smallholder farmers make decisions without the information they need. The agents who could help are stretched thin. And the organisations funding the work can't see what's actually happening in the field.
How do we do that?
Advice reaches farmers on the phone they already own, in their own language. Agents record what they see in the field, online or off. Managers watch it add up in real time.
Whom are we serving?
53,000+ farmers, 1,100+ extension agents and 25+ organisations — from small NGOs to national government programmes across 9+ countries.
Everything clients need in one place
Cooperatives, NGOs, agri-businesses and governments all run on farmbetter — connecting farmers, agents and the people making the decisions.
