SenzAgro

The company

SenzAgro is transforming Sri Lankan agriculture with precision technology that increases yields and conserves resources. Its solutions help farmers produce sustainably and efficiently.

The problem

Farmers in northern Sri Lanka are grappling with the impacts of climate change like extended droughts and rising temperatures, which are compounded by improper farming practices such as overuse of chemicals, overwatering and the planting of inappropriate crops. These practices have led to a 30% drop in crop yields. Additionally, poor market access and the role of intermediaries in the supply chain inflate costs, diminish returns for farmers and hinder effective supply-demand matching, resulting in high production costs and productivity challenges.

GSMA project

In March 2024, SenzAgro received a GSMA grant to develop its Digital Agriculture Value Chain platform, which promotes regenerative farming by providing farmers with current weather data and soil health insights, supporting sustainable yields and better stakeholder engagement. This platform expands on its Agricore marketplace, which serves more than 10,000 farmers and 200 agribusinesses. The initiative integrates 500 young farmers from 20 clusters in five northern Sri Lankan districts and 200 MSMEs, including buyers and service providers, in its network.

Traction

There were just over 950 users on the platform in March 2025, including farmers and MSMEs. Of these users, 233 are women.
