Agro Reply

Agro Reply is an AI crop advisory platform for agri-input dealers and farmer cooperatives in South Africa. Most farmers get their first crop advice at the input dealer's counter. Dealers are busy, and there are not enough agronomists to answer every farmer in time. Agro Reply gives every dealer an AI advisor that works on WhatsApp, under the dealer's own name. How it works: - Scan: the farmer sends a photo of the plant, and the advisor identifies disease, pest damage or nutrient stress. - Ask: the advisor answers questions in the farmer's own language, including English, Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa and Sesotho, by text or voice. - Show: every recommendation comes with a short how-to video the farmer can replay and share. Dealers stay in control. They set their approved products, dose ranges and escalation rules in the dealer console, and the advisor only recommends from their catalogue. When the AI is not confident, it asks another question or passes the case to a human instead of guessing. We are currently onboarding our first pilot dealers and cooperatives. If you are an input dealer, cooperative or agronomist, we would like to hear from you at info@agroreply.com.
