FarmCloud: AI Chatbot for Smallholder Farmer Advisory and Sustainable Agriculture

Smallholder producers often face limited access to timely, reliable, and localized agricultural knowledge. Challenges such as climate variability, pest and disease outbreaks, market volatility, and limited extension services disproportionately affect farmers in remote and underserved areas. Traditional advisory models are costly, slow to scale, and unable to provide real-time, personalized guidance. To address these challenges, KOLTIVA developed an AI-powered chatbot embedded within its FarmCloud mobile application. The solution aims to bridge the information gap by delivering instant, context-aware agricultural advice, climate alerts, and best-practice recommendations, while complementing human agronomist support. The use case focuses on improving farm productivity, resilience, and farmer decision-making while supporting sustainable and traceable agricultural practices.

PT KOLTIVA is a global agritech company founded in 2013 in Indonesia, dedicated to building inclusive, climate-smart, and traceable agricultural supply chains. KOLTIVA operates as a “triple-tech” company, integrating Agritech, Fintech, and Climate Tech with extensive on-the-ground field operations. The company provides end-to-end digital solutions that enable agribusinesses, governments, and financial institutions to achieve sustainable sourcing, regulatory compliance (including EUDR), and measurable ESG impact. KOLTIVA’s ecosystem includes traceability platforms, producer profiling and plot mapping, land-use change monitoring, climate and GHG assessment tools, digital financial services, and farmer capacity-building programs. With operations across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, KOLTIVA supports millions of smallholder producers and works with multinational enterprises to enhance transparency, resilience, and inclusiveness in global supply chains.
