Our take
Plantix’s app helps family farmers and small farming enterprises achieve higher yields, conduct crop diagnoses with experts, and access a global social network of farmers. The company turns a profit by offering corporate packages, partnering with goods manufacturers, as well as selling diagnostic data about the spread of disease and smallholder farming to companies like BASF.
The service is, perhaps unsurprisingly, proving to be a runaway success for its millions of users. It works especially well in India, where there is a marked shortfall in advisory support for smaller farmsteads, and where online information may not be available in the necessary regional dialects.
Now it's planning to bring users from other parts of the world onto their service, although they may be limited geographically by what expansions would yield the most saleable data. Certainly, they are doing remarkable work, and they may begin to see increased global uptake if predictions about small farming being more sustainable come good.
