Kerala’s lush landscapes hide a harsh reality for many farmers. Traditional methods often lead to low yields, unpredictable income, and a struggle to meet changing market demands. Deepflow Technologies, a rising agri-tech startup, is changing this narrative.
Their flagship product, the Farmer’s Assist App, leverages the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to become a personalized assistant for farmers. The app analyzes factors like soil type, crop selection, and weather patterns to provide customized recommendations, optimizing farm planning and resource allocation.
Understanding the Ground Reality
Deepflow Technologies’ success stems from a deep understanding of the challenges faced by Kerala’s farmers. The team spent two years interacting with farmers from diverse backgrounds, witnessing firsthand the backbreaking labour and uncertainty that plagued their livelihoods. This on-ground research proved invaluable in tailoring the Farmer’s Assist App to address real-world needs.
Pilot Project Paves the Way
Deepflow Technologies partnered with NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development) to pilot their Farmer’s Assist App in the Kannur district. The results were a resounding success. By equipping 1200 farmers with the app, Deepflow witnessed a significant increase in productivity, income, and produce quality. The positive impact on these farmers became a powerful testament to the app’s transformative potential.
From Recognition to Revolution
Deepflow Technologies’ innovative approach garnered recognition at the VAIGA Agri Hackathon organized by the Department of Agriculture Development and Farmers Welfare, Government of Kerala. Their solution secured the runner-up position, providing validation and valuable insights for further refinement.
Building on this momentum, Deepflow Technologies presented their customized solution to the Department, highlighting how the app could empower farmers across the state. Recognizing the potential to improve agricultural practices and farmer livelihoods, the Department awarded Deepflow Technologies a landmark purchase order.
A Brighter Future for Kerala’s Agriculture
Deepflow Technologies’ product is impacting the lives of over 41.79 lakhs farmers in Kerala. By providing an end-to-end solution for farm planning and implementation, the app empowers farmers with the knowledge and tools needed to thrive. This story is a testament to the power of innovation in transforming the agricultural landscape. Deepflow Technologies’ journey is far from over, and with continued support, they are poised to revolutionize agriculture in Kerala and beyond.
