Loam identifies crop diseases from your phone camera, tells you exactly what to do, and shows you today’s market prices before you leave for the market.
36 million Nigerian farmers.
One AI agronomist.
Hold the leaf steady, one hand-span from the camera. Works on any phone with a camera. No app store, no download.
Under 30 seconds. The disease, how bad it is, how sure we are, and whether it can be cured at all.
The exact product, the brand your dealer stocks, the dose per knapsack. Then today’s price at the three nearest markets.
Trained on Nigerian crops and Nigerian diseases. Every treatment we name is a product your agro-dealer actually stocks, dosed per 15L knapsack. When a disease cannot be cured, we say so instead of selling you a spray.
Thirty-four markets across Kaduna and Niger. We only show markets that trade your crop, sorted by how far you have to go, so you never drive to the wrong one.
Before Loam, I would wait until I could get to the market and find someone who had seen the same disease. By then it had spread. Now I know in 30 seconds.
