Elevator Pitch
CurubaTech helps farmers improve productivity and reduce emissions through remote agronomic assistance via WhatsApp. Our platform collects and analyzes field data to optimize decisions, reduce chemical use, and avoid unnecessary travel to farms.
Climate Problem
Agriculture generates high emissions from excessive travel, inefficient input use and poor data access. Small farmers lack timely technical support, reducing productivity while increasing carbon footprint and environmental degradation.
Solution
CurubaTech provides remote agronomic assistance via WhatsApp, enabling farmers to share field data and receive actionable expert recommendations when they need them. This reduces travel, optimizes chemical use and improves sustainable decision-making.
Revenue Model
We generate revenue through SaaS subscriptions, subscription per hectare technical assistance plans, and partnerships with agribusinesses, cooperatives, and development programs seeking scalable digital support for farmers.
Target Market
Small and medium-sized farmers, agribusinesses, cooperatives, NGOs, and public agricultural programs seeking efficient, data-driven and low-carbon technical assistance solutions.
Social Impact
Refugees - Asylum-seekers and Internally Displaced People, People Living in Extreme Poverty, Women
Demand Evidence
