PROBLEM STATEMENT:

The problem of inaccuracy and unreliability of generic weather forecasts for smallholder farmers is a persistent issue, especially in developing countries like Ghana. Generic weather forecasts are often too broad and fail to provide the necessary localized data for farming decisions, such as planting, irrigation, or pest control. This results in poor crop yields, inefficient use of resources, and missed opportunities for smallholder farmers who depend heavily on timely weather information.

SOLUTION STATEMENT:

Agritel's localized weather forecasting service aims to solve this issue by providing smallholder farmers with accurate, real-time weather information tailored to their specific GPS location. This enables farmers to make informed decisions regarding irrigation, planting, and pest management, leading to improved yields, reduced losses, and more efficient resource usage.
