Crop2X

The company

Crop2X uses IoT sensors and satellite imagery to provide farmers with real-time data and actionable insights.

The problem

In Pakistan, agriculture dominates water use, consuming more than 90% of the country’s water resources, while ‘water is already scarce. Climate change could worsen this situation. The misuse of fertilisers adversely affects soil health, leading to issues like altered pH levels, increased pest activity, soil acidification and crust formation, alongside diminishing soil organic carbon, beneficial organisms, plant growth and yield, while also boosting greenhouse gas emissions. Many Pakistani farmers stick to traditional farming methods, which limits yield potential and, without data-driven insights, results in the overuse of resources.

GSMA project

In March 2024, Crop2X received a GSMA grant to provide farmers with real-time information on crop conditions, water levels, nutrient levels, fertiliser needs, yield predictions and crop classification through mobile and web-based applications. This empowers farmers to make informed, data-driven decisions and implement precise farming practices tailored to their soil and crop requirements. This helps to increase productivity and create a more sustainable agricultural system.

Outcomes

Crop2X launched an AI-powered crop classification and yield prediction solution and partnered with Telenor Pakistan in October 2024 to integrate its solution on the My Telenor App (MTA) and mAgri Platform.

Traction

Crop2X onboarded 268 farmers to its platform by March 2025, who use the soil probe and satellite-based GIS imagery service.
