About Us

Why CropScan?

At the tap of a button, CropScan detects exactly what your crops need — no lab, no wait, no expert required. CropScan is putting the power of precision agriculture directly in the hands of every farmer.

A Patented Solar-Powered Plant Diagnostic Device, Built for Africa

Founded in 2022, CropScan Technologies was born out of a simple but powerful observation: Kenya's 7 million smallholder farmers were losing billions annually because they had no affordable, fast way to know what their crops actually needed. We built the solution — a solar-powered, AI-enabled handheld device that delivers instant crop diagnostics right on the farm.

  • Exact nutrient levels, deficiencies and fertilization needs
  • Humidity levels and irrigation requirements
  • Overall plant health and projected farm yields
  • AI-powered fertilizer recommendations via SMS
