Our story

Why we started CropSentry.

In 2023, Petra visited her family's cassava farm in Enugu State and found a quarter of the field destroyed by mosaic virus. By the time the local extension officer arrived — two weeks later — the disease had spread to three neighboring farms.

That experience isn't unique. It plays out millions of times every season across the continent. We started CropSentry because we believe AI can put a plant doctor in every farmer's pocket — affordably, in their language, today.

We're incorporated in Enugu, Nigeria as CropSentry Ltd, and we're hiring. If you care about food security, AI for good, or building products for emerging markets — come talk to us.
